• Because our kits are manufactured with precision and consistency, families can enjoy a more streamlined building experience, reducing stress and unexpected costs.

Understanding Prefabricated Home Kits

Definition and Process
When you choose a prefab kit, many building components are created offsite in a factory-controlled production environment. These components are then shipped to your property, ready to be assembled. This method differs from a site-built approach, where every piece of lumber, roofing, and insulation is delivered and cut on location.

Our pre-fab homes are custom homes, where a lot of the work is done offsite to minimize build time once the project starts. Getting components done off-site in the home building process allows us to be more precise in a factory-controlled environment.

General Advantages of Prefab Construction

• Faster Timelines: Prefabrication significantly cuts down construction time, so you can break ground and move in much sooner than with traditional builds.
• Cost Savings: With materials measured and cut offsite, there’s less waste, and you can often save on labor costs.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: Fewer onsite deliveries, less waste, and better manufacturing precision mean a more eco-friendly approach.
• Consistency and Quality: Strict manufacturing standards ensure components fit together precisely as intended.

Key Considerations

• Local Building Codes: You’ll still need to meet local building codes and zoning regulations, but My Barndo Plans partners will help you navigate these steps.
• Financing: Most of our pre-fab kits finance like custom homes – some lenders do worry about the Red Iron builds, so please confirm with your loan officer or bank.
