Prefab Modular Homes: The Future of Housing
/Gone are the days of modular being synonymous with cheap mobile home. Modern-designed modular prefab homes are now synonymous with serious style. And this trend is only set to grow.
HIGH-QUALITY GREEN CONSTRUCTION
If you want to contribute to a healthier future for our planet, prefab is probably the best route you could choose for home construction.
We build HAVENS in a climate-controlled setting, free of concerns like weather patterns that could (and often do) prolong build time. There's also the benefit of materials not becoming damp and compromised (a problem that could cause homeowners serious trouble in the long-term). Building indoors also means you are in your new home in a matter of weeks, not months!
The methods prefab builders use paired with conscious waste management drastically reduce construction waste. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) study, an estimated 8,000 lbs of waste is created from the construction of a 2,000-square foot home. We can do better than that, and prefab proves it.
MODERN DESIGN & ECO-EFFICIENCY
From bamboo flooring to smart cutting-edge automated system technologies and the potential to be net zero, modular prefab builders also tend to be aficionados of sleek design and sustainability.
Here at HAVEN, we believe that good design makes you happy. We aren't just building a shelter that looks good, we're building a sanctuary that feels good to be in, paying attention to and optimizing every single inch of space and we're full of knowledge about smart sustainable systems for your home. Tired of having a power bill? We can help you get rid of it altogether!
“The market will start demanding smarter components in a home. There will have to be a whole suite of components, and they’ll have to be manufactured because the technology in them will demand the precision of a manufacturing site. Conventional construction would be very limited as we move into the digital age, when [we’ll] expect more and more from the performance of our homes.”
“Contractors and owners that are not embracing modular and off-site fabrication as a significant portion of their business model are going to struggle to survive. By 2025, if a large contractor hasn’t embraced off-site construction for at least 25% of their workload, I wouldn’t expect that company to be in business by 2030.”
“We’re way behind, and the deficit of housing is growing. We have got to get out of the 19th century.”
A NEW DIRECTION FOR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS
As more and more housing trends point toward a necessary modular prefab future of housing as a practical, beautiful, and sustainable solution to a future here on Earth, developers are beginning to respond!
We're beginning to see interesting developments, quite literally, such as a 7-story apartment building in Manhattan made entirely of prefab homes.
“The Marriott has also hopped on the prefab trend, as the company is currently building its second modular-designed hotel in Oklahoma City. The Marriott’s first prefab hotel resides just outside Sacramento in California, and is evidently the first of many, as the company plans to start constructing around 50 more prefab hotels by the end of this year. These hotels will be easier to construct and more efficient, while simultaneously cutting down on construction waste as well as costs. ”
Prefab modular is the future of building, not just housing. The future of design, the future of eco-friendly sustainable living.
Homes that do more so you can go out and #dogoodthings!
