Everyone dreams of their own home. But to fulfill this dream, many people choose to build from scratch instead of pondering about prefabricated houses. That’s when the rush begins: searching for the best price in construction material houses, looking at labor, anyway… But today the market offers innovative materials, the so-called prefabricated: they are slabs, pre-made blocks of ceramic or concrete, requiring only application, which facilitate and optimize the time of its construction.
Project in execution of a pre-fabricated house
Knowing the prefabricated houses
Still unknown by a large part of the population, but already used in housing for low-income segments, prefabricated houses are increasingly gaining space in the construction market. They have become great investment options as they are cheaper than conventional ones and finish faster. They do not come completely ready-made and allow customization of the project, being flexible in terms of size, value and use of materials.

Recyclable Materials Prefab House
For some years, civil construction professionals (engineers, architects) have been rethinking the way to build with good quality materials, which combine sustainability, practicality and low cost, without compromising quality, as is the case with some innovations in civil construction, such as materials that are made in Styrofoam (in the case of some pre-molded slabs), structural ceramics (such as blocks and tiles) and even recyclable material such as PET bottles (there are several sustainable projects in Brazil, aimed at research and produce products of low cost, strength and durability that will support engineering and civil construction, even if some of these are in experimental character or testing phase in university laboratories).

Precast slabs, for example, are a good option for those who want to complete the construction without having to pay too much, saving time, it is possible to think of other sectors of the house (electricity network, sewage, water distribution, plumbing, coating, finishing, among others.) in addition to practicality and time, a prefab house is quite safe, and it is an investment for those who cannot wait long to have a house ready. One thing that is essential is to plan: put at the tip of the pencil all short and long term expenses, calculations of time and amount of material, space to be built, thus avoiding unnecessary expenses, waste and future inconvenience. In this way, you will make your dream of home ownership come true in comfort and tranquility, without breaking your budget.

They can be slabs, pavements, walls, masonry houses, wooden houses and precast houses, which are made with concrete blocks and finished with wood. The cost is affordable, so you can build your house in less time, without losing sight of quality and safety. It is worth remembering that even in constructions with structural blocks, grout points are needed, where columns and beams are created inside the reinforced concrete blocks.
Design of prefabricated houses
It is extremely important to analyze the terrain and soil, before building the property, as each location needs a unique treatment. In some cases, the preparation of the foundation, whether it is a radiet foundation – a solid layer of cement – or a simple foundation, on which a building will be built, can make the project more expensive.

The value of the work will depend on the size of the plant and the materials (eg structural masonry, conventional masonry, wood etc.) that will be used. Generally, pre-fabricated ones cost up to 40% less than traditional ones. The best known types are:
- Çmanufactured wings (or pre-molded) that are built in a displaceable steel frame, called chassis (base, support or frame to give support) and that are used both in transport and in the permanent fixation of houses. They are considered relatively inexpensive due to their assembly-line construction. Furthermore, they need the connection and installation between the rooms and their insulation;
- modular houses they are already more expensive (more expensive and bigger materials), as well as the high quality they present. They consist of units or modules built in a factory and then assembled on site. They offer the option of customization, such as the use of marble benches or different types of flooring. These types of houses do not use iron frames, but wooden beams with metal posts for support, also allowing more than one floor. There are two types of modular houses: paneled and pre-cut. The first is built at the factory and transported to the site, while the pre-cut has separate units and is assembled on site, with a defined structure and order.
Benefits
The practicality of a prefabricated house starts with the presentation of the finished project made by the company hired by the client. The client can customize the property according to their needs, as well as participating in the choice of flooring, lining, painting, among many other items. There is also the option of having the house built in masonry or wood, with a shorter delivery time for the wood. But its cost is a little higher, as in certain rooms that have a high degree of humidity (such as the bathroom), bricks and cement are used.

The delivery of a prefabricated house, after everything is ready, usually takes between 20 to 30 days, when there is no interference from climatic factors (such as rain, for example), while the traditional one would take up to two or three months.
It is good to be always aware of the news and innovations that appear in the market, as well as always seeking the guidance of properly qualified professionals so that you can. Get the most out of your venture.
