Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have quite a few questions.
I’ve already looked through many threads in this forum (maybe too many :confused 🙂.
My wife and I are considering buying a single-family house due to a growing family and because of my wife’s parents. My requirements are:
Unfortunately, there is no suitable existing property on the various real estate portals.
That’s why I came across several companies that build prefabricated houses.
My initial questions are:
I have also read some topics concerning certain prefabricated house manufacturers like Scanhaus Marlow, Allkauf, and others. There are always both negative and positive reviews.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Keough
I’m new here and have quite a few questions.
I’ve already looked through many threads in this forum (maybe too many :confused 🙂.
My wife and I are considering buying a single-family house due to a growing family and because of my wife’s parents. My requirements are:
- House of at least 120m² (1300 sq ft),
- at least 4 rooms,
- low energy consumption,
- with a basement,
- (including the plot of land???),
- budget: 250,000–300,000
Unfortunately, there is no suitable existing property on the various real estate portals.
That’s why I came across several companies that build prefabricated houses.
My initial questions are:
- Is this budget realistic and sufficient for building a house?
- What is the difference between conventional houses and prefabricated houses?
- Are prefabricated houses significantly lower in quality compared to conventional houses?
I have also read some topics concerning certain prefabricated house manufacturers like Scanhaus Marlow, Allkauf, and others. There are always both negative and positive reviews.
- Can the negative reviews be trusted? Can the positive ones?
- Should I be prepared to rely on luck regarding which site manager I get?
- Are there any prefabricated house manufacturers that are completely trustworthy?
- What should I definitely keep in mind when contacting a prefabricated house manufacturer?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Keough

I am currently researching prefabricated house manufacturers since there are quite a few subsidies available. So you can get a turnkey home from some providers for less than 250,000, but without a basement.
I simply configured my house and was able to see the price and everything included.I think I’ve ended up in a troll thread here...!

I’m actually not sure what you’re trying to say.
Everyone has different expectations. It’s not about one type of house construction being better or worse.
It’s simply an individual question that each builder needs to answer for themselves.
You see your personal situation, but not that others have different priorities.
Also, you shouldn’t compare apples and oranges.
House construction doesn’t actually start with the building itself, but months before.Dear Yvonne, the topic is “prefabricated house: yes or no?”
For me, that means I can share my experiences and reasons for choosing this type of construction. That’s what I did.
So, no comparing apples and oranges.
The actual construction phase for a prefabricated house is generally shorter than for a traditional solid building, since the shell is completed within just a few days. The interior finishing, however, takes as long as it does in a solid construction. If you want to make a comparison, this is really the only aspect to consider.
Comparing the time from signing the contract to moving in is not truly comparable, and I believe there is little difference between providers in this regard. For us, this phase will take 12 to 13 months as planned. Other prefabricated house companies have quoted periods of 8 months. There are many factors that influence this. I don’t think the detailed design phase takes longer with a prefabricated house provider.

It has to be called the pure "installation phase" because the construction work is already done much earlier in the factory.The timber frame prefab house manufacturer we visited at their factory has a production line that averages two houses per day coming out at the end. They don’t spend that long working on the wall panels.
This production line is also the reason why, after clearing all reservations from the factory contract, about 13 months until house installation is scheduled with them this year. Their order volume is far too high. But expanding capacity requires significant investment.

@ONeill
Yes and no—the interior finishing of a prefabricated house can be completed in 4-5 weeks, as it happened with our provider.
This is because no screed was poured on site; instead, prefabricated screed panels were craned into the rooms.
The windows were already pre-assembled.
Additionally, our prefabricated house supplier offers exterior wall plastering at the factory.
On site, only the corners were plastered and then painted.
So theoretically, if you count from planning to final selection of materials, it took about 3 months.
Planning and waiting for the building permit / planning permission took about 8 months.
