Prefabricated, modular homes and tiny homes are increasingly popular as a way to add onto an existing home.

This is great for housing in-laws or grown children in a separate space, allowing a vulnerable relative or friend to live independently but with support close by, or just as a mortgage helper or investment in your property.

Compared to a conventionally built apartment building, or a detached home, prefabricated homes have a quick turnaround thanks to efficient design and building processes. This helps keep both material and labor costs down, saving you a bunch of money.

A prefabricated home may only take a matter of days, weeks or a couple of months from initial design to turning your key in the lock.

Indeed, it can take as long to prepare a conventional building site for the building process as it can to build an entire prefabricated home.

This is, in part, because cutting and building prefab pieces indoors removes the potential for delays due to weather.

Most prefabricated homes are completely finished in around five months. Some may take just a couple of months, and smaller homes may take even less time.
