Hello,

I am interested in prefabricated house construction. I often read online that people decide against certain companies because the walls or the wall structure are not considered very good. I have also read that there are different types of wall constructions. What factors should be considered when choosing the wall or the type of wall assembly?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

We chose a prefab home provider that, in addition to the standard drywall panels, also installs load-bearing wood panels. This allows you to screw anything into the wall without needing wall anchors.
Additionally, the U-value should be appropriate, meaning the thickness and insulation material must be suitable.

Thanks for your reply. What U-values should it have? Which prefab house manufacturer did you build with? We are considering Luxhaus and Fingerhaus more closely. We already have quite a bit of information about Fingerhaus.

Best regards

We will go with the second option on your list.

We are currently waiting for our building permit / planning permission approval. The house will be started no earlier than the end of the year. However, I have two colleagues who are happily living in their homes built by the manufacturer.

All right, what U-values should these be? And is there anything else to consider with prefabricated houses?
