The confinement that forced the management of the Covid-19 pandemic caused a type of property where prefabricated houses are positioning themselves as a quick alternative. However, not all proposals in the sector can function as a habitual residence or second residence.
Why industrialized construction houses are the best option as a second residence
The prefabricated houses sector offers a wide range of possibilities, from small shelters to enjoy natural surroundings or mobile homes to enjoy a vacation. However, it is the field of industrialized construction that offers the most appropriate options for acquiring a house whose purpose is to serve as a habitual or second residence.
In this sense, the Passivhaus Building Platform (PEP) ensures that industrialized construction represents a great advance since it considerably reduces delivery times and leads to higher quality in the execution of homes, thanks to a much more precise construction that reduces post-sale incidents significantly. In addition, this constructive modality is more sustainable than traditional construction as it generates less waste, is safer, since it is carried out in factories and there are fewer accidents at work, and with great potential for job creation, since a more technical team is needed. and trained to work in factories for the design and production process.
The price of an industrialized house is similar to a conventional one
Plataforma de Edificación Passivhaus explains that the profile of the client who is looking for these systems generally meets certain patterns: getting a fully customized house, with exterior land, in a short period of time and with a closed budget from the beginning. Thus, the search for a possible cheaper price is not within the reasons.
“It is vital to mention that the price of an industrialized home is not far from a conventional home, and that, if we find strikingly cheap offers in any of the types (industrialized or prefabricated) we should consider the reason for this difference and if the quality obtained is really comparable to other offers”, explains the platform.
If it is not the price, what advantages do industrialized construction prefabricated houses offer?
