Prefabrication technology is gaining in popularity for good reason. It is a modern way of building that combines precision, speed and predictability. W Wascovilla we believe that a well-informed investor is a calm investor, which is why we answer the questions we hear most frequently from our clients when they want to find out what a prefabricated house.
What exactly is a prefabricated house?
Prefabricated house is a building whose components (walls, ceilings, roof) are created in a production hall and only then are delivered to the construction site. Unlike traditional construction, most of the work takes place under controlled conditions, using modern machinery and according to a design prepared by the construction team. As a result, the finished elements fit perfectly and the installation on the plot only takes a few days.
Are modular and prefabricated homes the same thing?
Although the terms "modular house" i "prefabricated house" are sometimes used interchangeably, the differences between the two are important. In our case, however, we do not choose one way. We combine prefabrication with modular technology based on timber frame construction. This means that each of our modular homes is built on a robust, lightweight and energy-efficient timber frame structure, and the whole is prepared on the factory floor as a finished set of elements or full spatial modules.
This allows us to control the quality of the workmanship at every stage: from prefabricating the walls and ceilings to assembling the finished units with complete installation, joinery or insulation. This approach not only shortens the installation time on the plot, but also provides repeatable performance and design flexibility.
W Wascovilla we believe that the combination of two proven technologies, prefabrication and modularity, gives our clients what is most important: precise construction, rapid completion and a home designed to meet their needs.
Is a prefabricated house sustainable?
Yes, and more so than is commonly believed. Prefabricated elements are made of high quality wood structural material that meets stringent strength standards. When you choose Wascovilla, you can count on materials that have passed inspection for load-bearing capacity, moisture resistance and dimensional stability.
Thanks to adequate insulation and careful installation, our frame houses are low-emission and sustainable. They are successful not only in Poland, but also in the demanding climate of Scandinavia or the British Isles.
How long does it take to build a prefabricated house?
Installation on the plot itself usually takes from a few days to two weeksand, depending on the scope of work selected. However, the entire house building process - from design to implementation - can close in a few months.
It is worth remembering that a lot depends here on the preparation stage of the project, including obtaining planning permission and making the foundation. At Wascovilla, we believe that time is as important a resource as the budget, so all prefabrication stages are organised to minimise unforeseen delays.
What fulfilment options are available?
We understand that every investor has a different vision of how to participate in the construction of a house. That is why we offer three flexible delivery options:
- only construction - we deliver the finished frame of the houseand the investor takes care of the foundation and installation himself,
- construction with assembly - The client prepares the foundation slab and we fabricate and assemble the entire structure on site,
- comprehensive implementation - we take care of everything: from foundation to prefabrication to installation. A solution for those who value convenience and peace of mind.
Each option allows you to tailor the scope of the collaboration to your own capabilities and needs.
Can I adapt the design to my needs?
Yes, design flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of our technology. You can choose ready-made house project and make changes to it, but you can also submit your own and our specialists will adapt it for implementation in the frame and modular technology.
The team includes experienced architects and constructors who advise on both aesthetics and technical or energy-saving solutions. Changes can include the layout of rooms, joinery and even the form of the roof. W Wascovilla we believe that a house should suit not only the requirements of the plot, but above all the lifestyle of its occupants.
Is this a solution for me if I have an unusual plot of land?
Yes, prefabrication does not mean a rigid scheme. On the contrary, many construction solutions allow for a great deal of design flexibility. Narrow plots, plots with difficult access, plots on a slope - everything can be planned if the design is created in collaboration with an experienced team.
By choosing to work with us, you can be sure that we will select the right house design prefabricatedthat best suits the conditions of your plot.
Is a prefabricated house environmentally friendly?
Yes, and on many levels. The material itself - wood - is renewable and has a low carbon footprint when sourced correctly. Production in the hall reduces material losses, and the high insulation performance of the partitions means the lower heating costs i reduced energy consumption over the years.
In our realisations of timber-frame houses, we pay particular attention to the energy balance of the buildings, so they are environmentally and wallet-friendly.
Does prefabrication limit quality?
On the contrary. The production of components in the hall makes it possible to achieve a level of precision that is difficult to achieve under traditional construction conditions. Quality control at every stage, repeatability of parameters and the ability to plan the assembly precisely make the final result not only robust, but also predictable.
In our company prefabrication is not a compromise, but a way of raising the standard of performance. Contact us and take a step towards your dream home!
