Home builders are professionals engaged in manufacturing, erecting and commissioning a prefab home. Comprising sectional modules in the form of walls, floors and ceilings, modular homes are prefabricated structures that are manufactured in a clean and climate-regulated factory. The designing and fabrication of variegated sections of the prefab home is done with the aid of a computer. Owing to current designing software, finished modules can be viewed in three dimensional layouts. Moreover, with the use of computer aided designing, modular structures can be custom-designed as per the specifications detailed by the clients.
These prefabricated structures are installed and erected on-site and commissioned with proper wiring, insulation and plumbing. Modular home construction seldom requires extensive workforce, such as electricians and plumbers, to connect wires and pipes, as all modules are installed with their respective power and water sources at the factory itself. When a prefab home is constructed, the home builder digs the foundation and assembles the sections or modules, which are transported from the factory site. The construction of a home with these modern methodologies not only saves considerable time, but also reduces construction cost substantially.
The job of a modular home builder involves less on-site work and more of management of the project, especially in the factory. After preparing the land and foundation in perfect dimensions, a home builder makes use of well-defined guidelines to install the modular home. In addition to hooking up utilities, builders are responsible for transporting modules of the prefabricated homes from the factory to the actual site. This is followed by the assembly of the main modular sections. A prefabricated home is delivered in huge sections or modules. For shipment of these huge modules, the builder not only arranges large material moving equipment, trucks and trolleys, but also ensures that these arrive at the construction site on time.
Installation of plumbing, heating or air and electrical systems is simplified due to the expertise of home builder. The builder appoints reputed trade subcontractors, who work on guidelines detailed by the homebuyer as well as builder. Moreover, the homebuilder supervises the work of carpenters, floor covering contractors, tile layers and other finishing contractors after assembling the prefabricated home. This on-site assembly does not require as many contractors as are needed to build a stick-built home. A prefab or factory assisted home building approach requires the least amount of on-site work. Therefore, managing the project is far easier with these modern approaches followed by home builders.
