Hello!
I’m generally not a fan of prefabricated houses. However, I have been trying for a long time to find a suitable plot of land in my area. Now I’ve finally found one. Unfortunately, the land belongs to a prefab house supplier and can only be purchased with a building on it.
I’m not sure if the disadvantages of a prefab house are worth it. Unfortunately, I can only find very vague information online. It says that the lifespan of a timber-frame prefab house is between 45 and 100 years. Forty-five years seems really quite short. Is it possible to extend the lifespan of a prefab house through maintenance or renovation, or is demolition inevitable after 100 years at the latest?

In our latitudes, a solidly built house is clearly advantageous.Tell that to the Swedes.But yes, nowadays I would also prefer solid construction.

Modern wood frame buildings, when well constructed, are superior to simple brick buildings in almost every respect. The only exceptions are thermal mass and ceiling sound insulation, where brick construction still performs better.
However, to achieve the energy efficiency of a wood frame building with solid construction, a substantial effort is required, including accepting much thicker walls.

I think you missed the note about the empty sales scheme.Of course, I would include the sale of the plot as a condition in the construction contract, and there would be no payment from me until the priority notice for the transfer of ownership has been registered.MeinHaus45 schrieb:

Believe me, you’re not the only one who was that smart. By the way, have you ever looked into Massa Haus? They have earned their reputation the hard way.
Massa Haus is part of DFH.
Deleting criticism is part of their daily routine.
Nevertheless, groups have come together on Facebook and are sharing reports.

Alright, Mr. Expert. Then please explain how it should be done correctly.
