There are numbers of drawback prefabrication houses have

First is lots of Juggling, Especially During Planning which includes


Finding a land selecting a manufacturer and a contractor, working with
banks to get a loan, and making sure that you know exactly what is being
provided and what you are responsible for and it is a lot of work which
may be overwhelming that having an architect and or home builder.

Second is Having Some Limitations. Some of these limitations are Quality


Limitations. It’s true that modular homes can be manufactured quickly,
but sometimes that leaves more room for error and poor production. Prefab
homes also sometimes are built using lower quality materials for the sake
of making production cheaper.
And Customizing Limitations future prefab homeowners are limited when it
comes to customizing their new home. Depending on the home builder, they
can only pick between certain options. But beyond those select options,
they can’t customize as they would please.

Third Disadvantage is It maybe more expensive than buying an existing home


.It may be possible to find an existing home suited to your tastes that’s
less expensive than a prefab home. If you buy an existing home you can
make a down payment of around 20% and pay off the rest of your mortgage
over time. While financing and construction loans are available for many
prefab homes, you’ll need to pay for the home’s construction before you
move in. Your contract will include a schedule for paying in installments
while your home is being built. This pay-as-you-go feature of prefab homes
means you need to be extra sure you can afford the prefab before you
commit to buying it and putting it up.

Next is it maybe more time-consuming than Buying an existing home. Just as


stated at the first disadvantage you need to do lots of works from
planning to constructions which includes looking for a land that is
suitable for prefabricated house, looking for manufacturers, and having
loans.

Fifth, Transportation and Assembly Factors. The logistics of


transportation can also be an issue to consider with prefab construction.
You must adhere to state transportation regulations for size and weight
loads, and special permits and escort vehicles may be required to
transport oversized modules, all of which adds to the price of the home.
In addition, it can be challenging to move a prefab into an urban area
where narrow streets and overhanging powerlines make delivery difficult.

And Lastly the Resale Potential When buyers first look for homes online,
they look at pictures and scan facts about the property. When they notice
that your home has been prefabricated, they may be initially turned off.

Why buy a prefab when they could purchase a traditionally built home?
These initial reactions could make it harder to sell the home if you do
decide to sell. You will need an experienced real estate agent and a bit
of patience to reach the kind of buyers who can appreciate your home’s
quality and value.
