Prefab economy
•
0 likes•350 views
Prefab homes have been used for decades as a cost-effective way to construct affordable housing. Prefab homes are largely constructed off-site, allowing foundations and deconstruction to occur simultaneously with construction, reducing construction time to as little as three months. While some studies have found prefab homes can be cheaper than conventional stick-built homes and others have found they are not, prefab construction generally results in shorter build times, lower labor costs, less waste, and potential savings from volume discounts.

Energy Efficiency in Construction
The construction industry contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions. However, goals have been set to reduce energy consumption from buildings, especially older existing buildings, through renovations that install more efficient systems like HVAC. Updating to newer energy efficient equipment can dramatically lower emissions and reduce maintenance costs. Construction companies can also optimize energy use through maintaining equipment well and reusing materials whenever possible. A home energy score test evaluates a building's structure and systems to determine its efficiency and recommend improvements. Switching to more plastic-based insulation, HVAC, windows, and roofing can further boost efficiency.

Low cost housing aims to reduce construction costs through use of locally available materials, improved skills and technology. It does not sacrifice strength, performance or lifespan. Costs can be reduced by minimizing plinth area, using thinner walls, soil cement blocks instead of burnt bricks, and concrete blocks instead of wooden frames. Other areas for cost reduction include preplanning components, avoiding wastage, checking necessity of components, using a modular design, and choosing efficient shapes and sizes. Foundations can use rubble masonry with reduced depth and width. Concrete hollow blocks and bamboo technology also provide low-cost options. Overall, low cost housing seeks affordable solutions through innovative and optimized design and materials.

Hurricane Irma caused widespread damage across the Caribbean and United States in 2017, affecting over 10 million people. It destroyed 90% of structures on Barbuda, 50% of homes were destroyed there. In Saint Kitts and Nevis 10% of homes were damaged along with infrastructure. In Cuba, over 230,000 people were evacuated to shelters after 63,678 houses and 1,700 schools were impacted, with 10,446 homes completely destroyed. Recovering from such natural disasters costs governments and organizations like the Red Cross huge expenses. To prevent future damage, homes should be built to withstand hurricanes using modern construction materials like structural steel which is stronger than wood and absorbs impacts better.

Pex Pipe
PEX pipe has several advantages over copper pipe for plumbing water supply systems. It is more durable and flexible than copper, with high heat resistance. PEX pipe is cheaper to install than copper since it does not require soldering or special fittings. PEX connections are push-fit rather than soldered, making installations quicker and easier. Due to its flexibility and push-fit connections, PEX pipe reduces the number of fittings needed and the chances of leaks compared to rigid copper pipe.

Prefab economy
- 1. PREFAB ECONOMY !
- 2. Prefab homes have been around for decades and have revolu2onized func2onal, affordable housing. For its 2me, it has been incredibly cost efficient compared to the on-‐ site building processes of today, which can exhaust more than 30% of building materials. Prefab housing construc2on saves 2me because these homes are largely constructed off-‐site, the deconstruc2on of previous buildings and laying of the founda2on can happen at the same 2me as much of the construc2on. This efficiency means that homes can be built in as few as three months. It would be rare to find a contractor able to put up a s2ck-‐built home in that 2me. Some claim that prefab homes are cheaper than conven2onal homes and some don’t. In any event, prefab homes have shorter construc2on 2mes, reduced labor costs, less waste and poten2al savings from volume discounts that can pass on savings to the home buyer. They are also cheaper to build in remote areas and in areas with high labor costs.
- 3. The variable price of labor has a lot to do with fluctua2ng home building costs. In a boom economy, labor costs go up, which means that prefab’s benefit of cheaper labor results in greater savings than in a poor economy, when contractors are willing to work for less. It is important to note, however, the more complex the design and specs, the more money your home will cost you. Other factors to consider such as electricity, plumbing, duct-‐work are oLen not factored into the ini2al pricing, so your final cost may be 20% more than what the builder is quo2ng you. You may need to install a sep2c system, install natural gas or a basement, these too will add to your boPom line. Rather than overload our landfills, however, contemporary architectural firms and design companies are rethinking what prefab means for today's waste-‐conscious and energy-‐savvy homebuyers. Many are combining tradi2onal modular concepts with a customized approach, allowing clients to select a basic design and alter it according to their tastes.
