t is clear in these years of economical downturns around the world  that the housing market has taken a bit of a beating. Indeed, those who  bought houses that were simply too much for them ended up with something  that was valued astatine less than the money they borrowed to buy it.  This negative equity situation has sent people in search of a way to  build a home but in a much more economical way and this could just be in  the form of a prefabricated building. Modular home prices ar within  reach of most of us and some people even use these as a second holiday  venue or as a way to start a business right there in
 the back yard.
However, just by having a pre-built set up does not mean that we have  to give up on style. Although it is commonly thought that these houses  are rather boxy looking, nothing could be further from the truth these  days. There are many designs promptly available for the buyer, but the  manufacturers will alter and redesign the building to make it fit into  what the customer wants.
Some people will want to construct a more traditional style place but  this can take an inordinate amount of time and cash too. Difficulties  in the finishing materials always appear to rear its ugly head just when  the family may be looking forward to the move. Even delays due to  inclement weather can add months to the expected finish date so it is  important that people take this into account when they start the whole  project.
Of course, the wonders of modern technology mean that these  prefabricated houses ar simply bolted together in a matter of a day or  two. Even those who have no construction experience merely have to use a  screwdriver and a few other tools to finish the job. As long as the  foundations ar professionally finished, the whole thing can be put up  very quickly and can be tenanted as soon as the furniture is moved in.
Floor plans for these wonderful places are really easy to work out  and it is really only the imagination which limits what can be done.  Some people will even design the whole place themselves and then leave  it up to the manufacturer to interpret these plans in a way that is  satisfactory to both parties.
Those who ar extra clever will surely add in some other extra  materials too like stone fire chimneys and breasts. This gives the whole  place that look of sustainability which comes with the more traditional  place but it really fools the eye since most of the building will be  just bolted together.
Of course, since most of the materials are man-made, they ar  extremely easy to take care of and resistant to pests which would  normally eat through wood at an alarming rate. Those parts that are  natural, like wood sidings etc, will be pre-treated in the factory so  they should be safe right from day one.
