In the Prefab ADUs, the faster construction timeline is a major aspect as it can reduce the cost and save time. A traditional on-site construction can take many months to complete. The best prefab ADU is ready for occupancy in a matter of weeks. The ADU Prefab homes construction process is the direct result of the manufacturing process of ADUs. Most of the construction process is done in the factory setting. This helps to construct the Prefab home quickly and at less construction cost.
The main reasons of the faster construction process are:
Simultaneous Process
The Prefab ADUs home construction process is done simultaneously. The ADU home is being built in a factory at the same time, so you can work on the foundation work of the homes. The on-site work can begin at once. This includes tasks that are crucial for the construction process.
such as:
- The excavating and pouring process of the foundation of the Prefab ADUs.
- You can prepare and lay utility lines. The utility lines do include (water, electricity, gas, sewerage).
- Leveling out the home site and preparing it for the delivery of ADU.
Factory-Built Unit
At the same time, the ADU is being constructed indoors. It is prepared in a controlled factory environment. This process of the Prefab home construction involves:
- No wastage of material as all the assembling walls, floors, and roofs in a precise manner.
- The fast track installation of insulation, windows, doors, and electrical wiring.
- The well structured design and Fitting interior finishes like drywall, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and flooring.
Minimized On-Site Work and Installation
Once both of these concurrent processes are complete, the unit is transported to the site. The on-site work then becomes a matter of installation and connection rather than a full-scale build.
- Quick Delivery and Placement: The ADU is delivered as one or more complete modules. A crane is used to lift and place the module(s) directly onto the prepared foundation. This can take just a few hours.
- Rapid Connections: The on-site team then connects the pre-installed utilities (plumbing, electrical, gas) to the main lines. They also finish any final exterior or interior details, like sealing seams between modules or adding porches.
- Total Project Duration: The entire on-site portion of a prefab ADU project can often be completed in just a few days or weeks, a stark contrast to the months-long process of framing, roofing, and finishing a traditional build.
Why Timeline is a Significant Advantage?
There are several benefits of the fast track construction process.
- Reduced Labor Costs: tThe labor cost is reduced dramatically due the less time spent on the construction site.This means a lower total labor bill for the construction of the Prefab ADUs. This is one of the significant factors to save cost during construction of ADUs.
- Avoidance of Weather Delays: There can be different kinds of weather delays for construction of the ADU. Most of the construction process happens indoors. This can avoid being completely insulated from bad weather. You can avoid the rain, strong winds, or extreme heat that can plague traditional construction in places..
Take Away
A faster timeline means the home owner can use the property for various purposes. They can start renting out the unit. This ensures they recoup their investment much sooner as compared to the conventional construction process. The ADU is available much faster due to their efficient construction procedure.
