Modular homes or prefabricated concrete homes are a great alternative to consider.
Historically, prefabricated houses have had, shall we say, not a very good reputation, since there has been a belief that the construction qualities left much to be desired. This, over time, has been demystified since that belief has nothing to do with reality.
The prefabricated house industry has been evolving until reach a new concept: modular concrete homes. This material, clearly, is much more resistant and durable than others. However, there are many other benefits apart from this.
Demonstration of the construction of a modular house
Before continuing, since a picture is worth a thousand words, in the video that we include below you can see in just over two minutes how the construction of a modular concrete house is carried out.
Here the enormous robustness of this type of construction is revealed, as well as the excellent construction qualities and finishes. And all this in just 4 months.
Advantages of modular concrete homes
Apart from the fact that the qualities are equal to or even higher than those of traditional constructions, there are many other advantages that this type of housing provides.
Execution time
There is no mathematical formula that indicates exactly how many days it takes to build a modular home, just as it cannot be done with a traditional home, since there are many factors that can affect it.
However, experts speak of a time saving of between 60% and 70%. In other words, a modular home can be built in a third of the time it would take to build a traditional home.
One of the main reasons for this huge time savings is that much of the work is done in the factory.
Comfort and conditioning
Prefabricated concrete houses have a very important advantage thanks, precisely, to the properties of this material.
Concrete provides the ability to adapt it to the climate of any area.
In colder areas, the concrete will be installed together with insulating systems and materials, providing excellent results. Likewise, in warmer areas a cooler interior environment will be achieved thanks to the installation of thicker concrete walls.
Wide variety of designs
The variety of designs is immense. You can choose from a multitude of different models and styles, adapting our concrete modular home to our tastes and personality.
Ease of expansion
We may not have realized it, but homes grow and evolve as we do. For this reason it is normal that over the years we carry out reforms to adapt the house to our needs. It is even possible that, with the arrival of the children, we will have to look for a larger house.
Well, this type of housing, being modular, allows extensions relatively easily, by installing additional modules. Getting a significant modification of our house much faster, easier and cheaper.
Useful life of modular concrete houses
At the beginning of this article we referred to the resistance and durability of this type of housing. Well, we have to return to this topic, since it is one of the main advantages.
The resistance of this material is excellent, withstanding the passage of time and inclement weather really well, not to mention its excellent acoustic insulation, as well as its resistance to fire.
