Hello to you all….

Typically a house (or the frame thereof) made to your design in a factory which makes these things.

Yup. Lots of large sections, pre-made to a bespoke design, get delivered to site and connected together to create the superstructure of your home.

Not necessarily large sections!

 

Some, like 'We Build Eco' provide pre-cut and numbered timbers to allow swift build on sites with limited access for lorries/cranes.

 

Essentially a rapid and accurate stick build with very tight tolerances.  With or without all insulation and finishing boards included.

 

House 'kit' content will vary according to manufacturer - most end with the basic shell ready for fitting out, but some include all items required for finish (e.g. Huf Haus)

 

Essentially one step down from pre-fab
