Panelised Prefab Engineered Componentization. While the industry has come a long way in terms of leveraging technology and advancing better methods of home building, there are some who may still be hesitant when hearing about other ways of home building outside of “traditional” or “light steel -built”.
Panelised homes are nothing new. It’s human nature to lean toward familiarity. People like to go with what they know. When thinking about stepping outside of their comfort zone with home building, some have the impression that “panelised” homes may be missing something. However, panelised homes are of higher quality of higher insulation and are less expensive than traditional homes, due to very low maintenance.
Don’t believe us? Read on.
''Here are the top 3 misconceptions of panelised home construction.''
1) Factory built home construction is of lesser quality....
This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Building products and components that are produced in factories are safer from all elements, variables of weather, weathering, the quality of supervision, varying trade skill sets, and more. Factory based assembly regulates quality assurance, specialization of labour, quality control, waste management, provides robust supervision, a safer work environment, engineering controls, and pre-delivery inspections.
2) Panelised home construction is just another type of mobile or modular home construction....
Panelised home construction is a method that uses advanced technology to build wall panels inside a quality-controlled environment that are then assembled on site. An added benefit is the time saved. Homeowners are able to move in in weeks — if not months — faster than many traditionally-built homes.
3) Panelised home construction eliminates customization....
This is also a common misconception. Panelised homes are exactly that: they’re “panelised”. The walls are constructed from the design, an enormous capacity for customization in the design process.
