As a child, we were introduced to house construction by simply “building” any kind of structure through the world of Lego. This is a collection of tiny colorful bricks/blocks of different shapes that when stacked together can create miniature communities complete with houses, cars, malls, roads, parks, and even an entire kingdom. But do you know there is a real version of this and it is more than a child's play? This is what they call modular housing construction or prefabricated homes (prefab).
How does this works? The components of the house are built off-site or in a factory. Once finished, the parts or modules are transported on-site or on a parcel of land where the “stacking” or construction takes place using powerful cranes. What are the factors that a modular home is for you?
Unfortunately, a prefab home has disadvantages. You must own a lot before they start the construction in the factory. Make sure the estate or location allows this type of house. Complete the necessary permits. The foundation or base must be considered in utmost importance. The house must be fully-paid first, so you need to crank up your savings or apply for a loan. Cover your bases first before you nod to a manufacturer. What could be more amazing than witnessing your dream home being completed right before your eyes? Just as how you play with your Lego pieces.

- You need a house – fast. No unpredicted weather and delays on shipment of supplies could ever stop you of having your dream home because the entire construction phase is inside a factory. It only takes an average of four months to finish one.
- The quality of the house matters. Who doesn't want a sturdy home? You can assure before they ship the finish product, a home inspector thoroughly checks it because it may never set foot off the factory if the manufacturer skipped this process.
- You're an advocate of “green” living. Modular homes are energy-efficient and environment-friendly. When we say it is energy-efficient it means your energy bills will be on your favor. That is sweet, right?
- You don't want to limit your options. Similar to an on-site house construction, you could also lay out the minute details such as the type of wood, door, tile, lighting fixtures, or bathroom fixtures. Don't leave this out because you may not get your desired outcome if you will let them do this trivial task.
