2. Prefab
housing
packages
include
kits
for
do-‐it-‐yourselfers,
but
frequently
contractors
complete
a
prefab
house
on
the
building
site.
So
if
you
find
a
style
you
like,
you
can
either
complete
it
yourself
or
hire
someone
to
complete
the
project
for
you.
Prefab
houses
are
a
great
way
for
a
beginner
or
someone
with
budget
constraints
to
get
started
on
a
?ny
house.
A
book
usually
comes
with
plans
and
instruc?ons
to
complete
a
project
with
common
building
materials.
Two
popular
types
of
prefab
homes
are
modular
homes
and
panelized
homes.
Both
of
these
methods
produce
tradi?onal
styles
of
houses.
Finish
work
usually
including
drywall
and
trim
is
completed
aEer
the
main
structure
is
assembled
and
passes
inspec?on.
In
most
places,
prefab
houses
must
be
approved
by
a
local
building
inspector
while
the
plumbing
and
wiring
is
s?ll
visible
in
the
walls
and
aEer
the
house
is
finished.
PuHng
together
a
modular
home
is
a
bit
like
stacking
toy
building
block,
but
more
complicated.
Depending
on
the
design
of
the
home
and
the
distance
from
the
manufacturer
to
the
building
site,
each
block
may
be
an
en?re
house,
a
room,
groups
of
rooms
or
only
a
por?on
of
a
room.Both
interior
and
exterior
walls
of
panelized
homes
are
built
in
sec?ons
or
panels
prior
to
delivery
to
the
home
site.
Some?mes,
siding
has
already
been
added
at
the
manufacturing
plant,
but
usually
it's
installed
aEer
the
shell
of
the
house
is
assembled.
3. It
is
quite
simple
to
pick
out
the
home
of
your
dreams
with
prefab
housing.
With
infinite
earth
sheltered
designs
prefab
homes
are
constructed
with
high
strength
modules.
Once
the
concrete
pad
is
ready
the
vaulted
structures
can
be
erected
without
heavy
equipment
or
highly
skilled
craEsmen.
Modules
are
designed,
water
?ght
when
bolted
and
glued
together.
Ribs
engineered
into
the
modules
add
strength
and
allow
rou?ng
of
electrical
and
other
u?li?es.
Prefabs
are
growing
greener
and
cheaper
as
people
realize
that
modular
pieces
are
not
just
a
great
way
to
save
money
and
improve
the
planet,
but
also
put
design
back
in
the
hands
of
the
masses.
Whether
or
not
real
kits
are
produced
made
and
available
for
sale
from
this
seed
of
a
design,
the
commercial
green
house
industry
has
much
it
could
learn
from
such
examples.
