2. Purchasing
a
pre-‐made
modular
kitchen
or
bathroom
unit,
has
become
a
standard
feature
in
the
construc=on
of
tradi=onal
houses
or
buildings.
Buying
a
prefab
house
and
ge2ng
it
assembled
on
your
plot
of
land,
is
gaining
popularity
in
developing
countries.
3. Across
the
world,
the
=mely
construc=on
of
proper=es
benefit
both
the
constructor
and
homeowner.
4. From
the
owner's
point
of
view,
early
possession
of
a
home
or
apartment
allows
them
the
opportunity
to
earn
rental
income
sooner
and
save
on
the
interest
on
the
loan
borrowed
from
the
bank.
5. The
builder,
upon
comple=on
of
the
project,
can
reinvest
the
capital
into
new
projects
and
earn
further
income.
6. The
tradi=onal
'brick
and
mortar'
construc=on
is
giving
way
to
prefab
structures
and
materials.
Prefab
technologies
can
be
used
to
build
homes
quickly
and
cost-‐effec=vely,
especially
as
tradi=onal
construc=on
costs
con=nue
to
rise.
7. As
the
cost
of
borrowing
is
steep
in
developing
countries
and
land
developers
are
facing
a
liquidity
crunch,
=me
is
equal
to
money.
Prefab
construc=on
method
is
quicker
and
adds
to
the
revenue
stream
of
the
developer.
8. In
prefab
technology,
the
project
can
be
designed
using
architecture
soHware.
Parts
such
as
steel
frames,
wall,
ceiling
panels
are
custom-‐made.
The
components
are
then
brought
to
the
construc=on
site,
the
structure
is
assembled
on-‐site,
together
with
kitchen
and
bathroom,
doors
and
windows
units
being
fiIed
into
place.
9. The
use
of
prefab
techniques
can
also
result
in
beIer
cost
efficiencies
over
the
life
span
of
the
buildings.
Normally,
pre-‐engineered
homes
show
beIer
performance,
as
assembly-‐line-‐produced
homes
are
manufactured
to
stricter
norms
with
cu2ng
edge
technology
and
reduce
the
number
of
manufacturing
defects.
Using
prefab
method
in
buildings
also
gives
flexibility
in
terms
of
expansion
and
modifica=ons.
