Frequently asked questions and the answers from the experienced engineers of KOFINAS SA

The prefabricated they are manufactured in factories and then transported and assembled to the place where they will be installed. This is usually done by using special trucks and cranes to move the pieces of the house into place. Prefab homes are just as durable as conventional construction, while offering the advantage of faster construction and lower labor costs. In addition, prefabricated housing can be more energy efficient and offer better insulation from noise and heat. Typically, prefab homes are more affordable than conventional homes, making them an option for people looking for a more affordable housing option. Also, their construction can be done with fewer materials than conventional buildings, thus reducing their impact on the environment.
The prefabricated houses can be designed in various sizes and designs depending on the needs of each customer.
Finally, another advantage of prefabricated houses is that they can be built in controlled conditions in factories, without the influence and delays that can arise from weather conditions in the construction of conventional houses.

Prefab houses can provide fairly high static adequacy and safety if they are properly designed and constructed and high quality materials are used.
In particular, prefab homes are usually made of materials that are resistant to moisture, wind and weather, and stable to ground movements and earthquakes. In addition, these houses are usually equipped with overlapping materials, such as mineral wool, which provides thermal insulation and protection to the residence.
Additionally, prefab homes are typically built in factories, where conditions are controlled and construction processes are automated, thus reducing the risk of human error. Also, the construction of prefabricated houses is fast and efficient, reducing construction time and cost.
Nevertheless, it is important to mention that the static adequacy and safety of prefabricated houses are not automatically guaranteed and depend on many factors, such as proper design and construction, selection of high-quality materials, adequate soil stability, maintenance and inspection of the house during its lifetime.
Therefore, it is important to choose a reliable and experienced prefab home construction company and ensure that your home is designed and built according to the manufacturer's standards and guidelines, as well as the regulations and specifications of your area. You also need to consider climatic conditions and natural hazards that may affect the safety of your home.
Finally, maintaining and inspecting your home is also important in keeping it safe and stable. You should carry out regular inspections of your home and repair any damage or problems immediately.

Prefab homes are an alternative style of home construction that are always built in factories and then transported and assembled to their construction site. Prefab home construction can have less impact on the environment than conventional site-built homes.

The construction of prefabricated houses in the factory, reduces the requirements for additional time and materials, and this results in the reduction of waste and gas emissions into the environment. In addition, the construction of prefabricated houses can lead to less energy consumption and reduced costs during their lifetime.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Update on construction technology and how houses should be built
2. A bill of costs is issued according to the design desired by the customer
3. 3D home design and study of surroundings
4. Building permit
5. Construction of the base
6. Location of the residence.
