What Is a Prefab Cottage?
Prefab (short for “prefabricated”) cottages are homes built off-site in controlled environments, then delivered and assembled on your land.
Modern prefab cottages blend the charm of traditional builds with cutting-edge design, offering the aesthetics, durability, and comfort of custom homes—without the lengthy construction timeline.
Benefits of Prefab vs. Traditional Homes
Cost Savings: A prefab home design means fewer labour hours and faster builds to reduce construction costs.
Energy Efficiency: Built to higher environmental standards, many prefab cottages reduce long-term energy consumption and energy bills.
Customization: From tiny houses to full family homes, layouts can be tailored to your design preferences and square footage needs.
Faster Turnaround: With an accelerated construction process, many prefab homes are ready for delivery in under 12 weeks.
