Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a prebuilt house?
A: A prebuilt house is one that is built at a location other than its final site. Traditionally constructed houses are built on-site; prebuilt ones are built in a factory and are delivered to the site and erected on the prepared foundation.

Q: Is a prebuilt house different from a "modular" house?
A: No. The term "modular" refers to the sections, or "modules," of the house. At the factory, the house is constructed in sections, rather than in one piece, for easier delivery to the home site.

Q: How does a prebuilt house, built in a factory, get to the home site?
A: The house sections are transported on specially designed trucks. The sections are then lifted onto the foundation by heavy-duty cranes.

Q: What are the differences between prebuilt houses and those built on-site?
A: There are no differences in terms of quality of construction and overall appearance of the house. A prebuilt house is built using normal construction methods and materials, but instead of building on-site, construction takes place in a factory. However, there is often a difference in price. Prebuilt structures are usually cheaper to build than traditional construction allows.
