Real estate market: let’s take stock of prefabricated houses

Thanks to the new housing needs, increasingly oriented towards avant-garde residential solutions, in recent years the real estate market has opened its doors to prefabricated houses , a type of structure that has managed to make its way into the sector thanks to construction systems inspired by the most innovative principles of green building .

Prefabricated houses, also known in the sector by the term modular houses, are in fact resistant, safe and sustainable . Moreover, thanks to projects based on a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, they can offer high living comfort .

It is also for this reason that such housing solutions today enjoy enormous popularity all over the world, not only in Europe , but also in China and the United States . However, there is still a small slice of consumers who are reluctant to rely on modular homes, due to a number of beliefs about their main constituent: wood .

Prefabricated houses: the possible limits and solutions

One of the reasons that, in our country, still seems to be holding back the prefabricated house market is attributable to the need to arrange periodic maintenance interventions .

In fact, in order to guarantee excellent performance during operation, wood-based structures must be subjected to regular treatments against humidity, fungi and parasites , as well as fireproofing procedures that inhibit combustion processes.

However, to protect yourself it is possible to opt for a home insurance , which allows you to fully protect yourself from fire, theft or structural damage caused by unpredictable events.

The only requirement required by insurance companies is that the construction includes compliance with some particular construction standards , such as the presence of walls with a certain thickness, adequate anti-seismic systems, appropriate anchoring to the foundations and certified mechanical resistance to damage. from fire.

Of course, it is essential to rely solely and exclusively on companies with extensive experience in wood construction, the only ones able to ensure the construction of prefabricated houses in compliance with all safety standards .

Prefabricated houses: the factors that stimulate the real estate market

The advantages of prefabricated houses are universally recognized, and perhaps it is precisely for this reason that, net of some reticence, today these constructions are increasingly widespread even in our latitudes.

In fact, Italy is today one of the largest producers of prefabricated houses in Europe , fourth after Germany, the United Kingdom and Sweden and in a predominant position compared to many countries with a long tradition in the construction of structures of this type.

After all, the reasons that have made prefabricated houses among the most interesting housing solutions in the residential sector are numerous, even if the most important is probably linked to the possibility of being able to opt for a custom-made house , widely customizable and buildable in a short time.

Prefabricated houses, in fact, are essentially ready-made houses , the individual elements of which are made on site and then transported or shipped all over the world and assembled directly on the building site.

Furthermore, the use of particular construction technologies gives prefabricated houses an efficient structural response to earthquakes , even if one of the aspects that most of all seems to have influenced the market, causing the residential and industrial sector to record extremely positive performances, is linked to the possibility of benefiting from buildings characterized by high energy efficiency .

These structures, in fact, being built according to the canons of green building , provide the highest energy class in force today in the construction sector, the A4 + , which can result in significant energy savings capable of reducing the amounts on bills by up to 70 % .

Finally, a further boost is to be found in the price, especially if we consider that the expense for a prefabricated house, even if partially aggravated by the costs for transport and labor, can be accompanied by interesting tax reliefs . What makes the difference, in any case, is above all the manufacturing company, since, if some companies offer all-inclusive solutions , others provide standard constructions to which the cost for the extra elements must be added.
