A prefabricated house refers to structures whose parts are made in factories and workshops and are connected at the desired location. The use of these houses has brought about a huge transformation in the architecture industry, and considering that less time and resources are needed to build these houses, as a result, their use can be more rational and economical. Today and in the modern world we live in, saving time and financial resources is very important, and for this reason, it is necessary for people to do their best to do this. One of the ways that can save people’s time and money is using a prefabricated house. Today, in this article, we are going to introduce and review prefabricated houses.
What is a prefabricated house?
As we mentioned, prefabricated house refers to structures whose parts are made separately in factories and industrial workshops, and then by an expert team, these parts are connected to each other in a suitable location. Considering that Iran has always been an earthquake-prone country and our land has always been threatened in this way, by creating a strong and suitable foundation and installing prefabricated structures, we can be safe from this natural disaster. In addition, it should be noted that in the process of building these buildings, there is no need to use excessive amounts of materials such as sand, cement, bricks, etc., which can reduce costs and also pay attention to the environment and the principles of green architecture.
Ohaddeco Group is specialized in designing and producing all kinds of prefabricated houses with DIY technology in Iran and abroad. You can contact us for more information and free consultation.
Advantages of using a prefabricated house
The design and implementation of prefabricated structures can bring many benefits in different fields. In this part of the article, we will examine these benefits. Stay with us.
Reducing costs: As you know, nowadays the costs of real estate construction are very high and people may have problems. Using a prefabricated house can eliminate a large part of the costs related to materials and staff.
High speed of construction: Another concern of people today is that the time required for the construction of properties can sometimes be excessive. But if you design and implement a prefabricated house, you will no longer face such issues.
Fast installation: As we mentioned before, prefabricated house parts are designed and built in workshops and industrial factories and then connected to each other at the desired location by the technical team.
Paying attention to the principles of green architecture: as the last advantage of prefabricated houses, it is necessary to say that the design and production of these structures can be a big step in the direction of green architecture, in this way, by removing industrial materials and using clean energy.
Types of prefabricated house construction methods
It is possible to design and produce a prefabricated house using different materials and in different ways. These methods include the following:
Prefab wooden house
One of the most traditional and common methods and materials for building a prefabricated house is to build these structures using wood. Due to the fact that wood is an element that has been receiving the attention of many people in the architecture and decoration industry for a long time, people, knowing the advantages and positive features of this element, tried to use it in the construction of shelters for themselves.
LSF structure
But one of the best ways to build a prefabricated house is to use the LSF structure. These structures consist of numerous sheets and columns made of light steel and provide the possibility that your desired structure is light in addition to high resistance, and it is also possible to design it up to more than 2 floors. In addition, it is possible to design LSF structures for the interior. This means that you can design its interior exactly as you like, and it is possible to install all the decoration in it easily.
Precast concrete structure
Now it’s time to introduce and review another modern method of building prefabricated houses, that is, the use of concrete. In this method, the concrete parts are prefabricated and only mounted on the frame during installation. It is worth noting that using this method consumes your resources as much as building traditional houses and only the time is shorter. Therefore, using the previous two methods is more recommended.
Disadvantages of building a prefabricated house
But the use of prefabricated houses may also have disadvantages. For example, it is a little difficult to do the work related to its urban facilities, such as sewage piping. Of course, this issue has been completely resolved in LSF structures. Therefore, in the construction of prefabricated houses, you may not be able to have the desired number of floors. Also, considering that these structures have not yet been well accepted in Iran, as a result, the activities related to obtaining the permit are a bit difficult. For this purpose, most of the people who use the prefabricated house, place these structures in the environment such as the garden of the villas and so on.
Key considerations in buying and building a prefabricated house
But before ordering the design and construction of a prefabricated house, it is necessary to make a good experience for yourself and your family from attending these houses by paying attention to a series of golden tips. These tips include the following:
Attention to the safety of the structure: The first and most important point that you should pay attention to is the safety of the structure. The house you are going to live in should be resistant to high weight, storms and earthquakes so that something irreparable does not happen.
Determining the architectural style of the house: Before starting the process of building a prefabricated house, you should do the architectural style and decoration design you want so that the final product is according to your wishes.
Paying attention to the quality of the land in the area: before installing the prefabricated house, its foundation must be created. Therefore, it is necessary that the soil of the area has a high strength so that problems such as falling and so on do not arise over time.
Final word
As you have seen, in this article we introduced 0 to 100 prefabricated houses. We know that prefabricated houses are structures in which the components and parts of the house are designed and built in advance in workshops and industrial factories and are installed in the desired environment by an expert team. Therefore, we mentioned that the use of these structures can be a big step in the direction of green architecture and environmental protection. While thanking you dear ones for accompanying us until the end of this article, we hope that the material presented was useful for you. One of the main activities of Ohaddeco Group is the design and construction of prefabricated houses using LSF structures. You can contact us for more information and free consultation.
