Pre-owned cabins: The advantages
Home ownership is always a contradictory part of the expectations of modern Greeks. This is because as much as the idea of owning – building a house is attractive, the cost of such an action is often considered exorbitant. Today, we have many options when it comes to buying housing. From a humble apartment to an imposing mansion, there is a type of home for every taste. One of the options available to home buyers in Greece is prefabricated houses. The main advantages of these types of housing are their low cost. Imagine how affordable housing is, especially when we refer to second-hand ones. In this article, we will refer to the advantages of buying second-hand houses.
But first in order to place the prefabricated housing industry in context, let’s take a historical review…
Homes of this type came to prominence in the early 1900s in the US, when workers, in order to find work, had to commute frequently wherever they could claim a job. The structural drawings of these mobile homes resembled what we could imagine as a modern caravan. These homes were mass-produced to meet demand, without uniform quality or safety standards.
Today’s residences of this type, however, do not bear much resemblance to the mobile homes of yesterday. They usually offer a variety of designs and interior options which can range from basic models to elaborate designs with vaulted ceilings, plasterboard, fully equipped modern kitchens, comfortable bedrooms etc.
Used Houses nowadays are manufactured in a permanent frame in factories and then transported to their final destination. Their construction materials vary with most guaranteeing safety and economy.
Our company specializes in the construction of fully equipped houses mainly for offices, toilets, guardhouses etc. The houses are made of panels of our company and can include a kitchen with storage spaces, a comfortable bathroom and spacious bedrooms.
Enough of the theoretical though, let’s analyze the overall advantages of such an option.
Initially, an important element is the minimal delays in construction, as the house is constructed in a facility, with a controlled environment, which is not affected by weather conditions. The fact that the project is undertaken by only one company can be translated as better quality of the final product. This is because prefabricated houses have the ability to pre-install electrical and plumbing components. If you consider the construction of a traditional house, for each different department you will need a new person (architect, plumber, civil engineer, etc.).
In fact, even second-hand houses guarantee you high quality construction, as long as you consider that the materials used are usually stronger and more durable than those used for the construction of conventional houses. In addition, such houses require almost no maintenance. Therefore, you don’t have much to think about before investing in a second-hand house.
Another important advantage of prefabricated houses is that they allow for long-term changes. Just because a house, and a second-hand one at that, can be extremely affordable, families who own a plot of land can start from this option, with the possibility of adding additional construction units as their needs grow. A housing can also serve as a starter home for families planning to build a larger, permanent structure sometime in the future.
