Understanding Prefabricated Homes
There are three types of prefabricated homes. 1. Manufactured (mobile homes). 2 Modular (pre-built, box-like structures transported as "wide-load" transport and craned onto a property), and 3. Panelized (pre-built panels that are flat packed and shipped to your site on a flat deck truck and assembled on location) CloudHaus utilizes #3 - a panelized construction system. With a panelized building system, the home can be designed with any floorplan you'd like. The panels are prefabricated to your specifications in a climate-controlled factory made exactly and accordingly to a structural engineer's stamped and sealed plans. Our kit components arrive by flatbed trucks to your property location in panels (sizes 4x8, 4x10, or 4x12 foot). Flatbed shipment allows us to access difficult sites such as slopes, narrow driveways or rough terrain that modulars can't access. Unlike mobile homes and pre-built box like structures that require permits, tree and utility line removal or replacement, all of which adds extra costs to the bottom line, smaller more manageable structural panels arrive without such costly obstacles. |
