What are modular homes

They are one of the most popular choices in the world for building a house and it is not by chance. By definition, modular homes are constructions whose fundamental parts are prefabricated and then transported to the building site for the owner. There the modules are being assembled quickly, efficiently and without waste. The modular homes are called by different names like “prefab homes” for instance. One thing is clear though: because of their many advantages, the result of implementing the newest technologies, they become ever more favored compared to the monolithic buildings. That encompasses those people who dream of a healthy, ecological, affordable, fast to build and high quality home. And on top of that there is an opportunity for a personal input in the design and construction.

General statistics
for prefab homes

In Europe, the popularity of prefabricated homes grows gradually, even though differently for each country. This we can see in the data published by the European Federation of Premanufactured Building. It is considered that in Germany the annual growth of the prefabricated homes market is 6.4% compared to 1.5% for the monolithic single-family homes. The trend is clear.

The Eco SAM House project is applicable to all modular home markets globally and our ambitions are completely realistic given our unique competitive advantages. Due to our competitive selling prices in comparison with prefab homes of similar size and quality, Eco SAM House aims to gradually reach a bigger and bigger share of the global market in the next few years.

Why choose
modular homes

The fastest and greenest to build

You could move into your new house just three-to-four months after making the first step in the journey if you choose modular homes. The monolithic building can’t offer even close to these terms. The modules are being manufactured for a couple of days in the factory and the line of production is permanent. Since they are standardized, there are always enough in stock for any order. This way you don’t waste any time at all between ordering the modules and receiving them in a fast and safe manner. When at the building site, they are being assembled smoothly, efficiently and without any waste. The wood is one of the most ecological building materials – a completely renewable resource with zero CO2 emissions. This makes the modular homes truly green.

Buildable on various terrains and easy to expand

Whether it is an uneven, inclined or unstable surface we are talking about, you won’t have a problem building your safe new home on almost all kinds of terrains as long as they are not movable. With their light and resilient constructions, the modular homes are unshakable and will guarantee you a prolonged, cozy and protected dwelling. A huge plus, compared to the monolithic building, is that you can expand an already built modular house in an easier, faster and cheaper way. So, if your household increases, you won’t have to search for a new and more spacious home to move in.

The most affordable

The end price of modular homes is lower compared to the monolithic building. The reason for this is rooted in the need for less materials, time and people in order to build prefab houses even after the additional expenses. (For example, buying the land, obtaining the licenses for building and connecting to the electrical and the water network.) The production, transportation and assemblage of the modules are way more efficient in comparison with the traditional way of building. That is what makes the modular homes more affordable.

Using the newest technologies and constant quality control

The quality of the modular homes can actually be higher than the quality of the traditionally built ones. The main reason is that the materials are being manufactured in a controlled medium in terms of climate. This way the harmful impact of the cold weather, the rain, the condensation and the humidity is eliminated. Furthermore, the quality control starts from the factory and the construction supervision on the work of the subcontractors is more objective. By using the newest technologies, the modular house shows excellent results in sound and thermal insulation and in resilience to natural disasters. It can also be easily converted in a passive house by installing different technological inventions and can decrease the energy consumption by 90% compared to the monolithic building.

Why the modular homes are better than
the traditionally built ones

How are modular homes being built

The processes and elements of building a modular home can be standardized which means faster operation and lower budget for the customer. Besides, the construction by modules allows you to design your house according to your own ideas. You can choose the standard designs or one with more, less or different shapes and features.

If you decide to build a modular home you will surely gain more friends amongst the neighbours. They don’t like their dwellings being surrounded by dirt for years nor getting mad from all the annoying noise coming from buildings in the traditional way. With many of the modular homes most of the work is already done at the fabric so the time for the house construction on site is considerably reduced.

Furthermore, the structure of the system doesn’t require any special professional qualification and that makes the building process quite facilitated. That means you can even organize a brigade amongst your friends and relatives and finish yourself the construction of your home. Just make sure you select the deft ones.
