What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Vanessa Brunner to Interview: What's Up With Prefab?
VB: Is it always less expensive to build a prefab residence? HJ: The price between a custom home and a prefab home is just about the same. There really is no dramatic difference in cost, at least in terms of how it works now. Money can be saved on design fees and time though, since construction is very tightly coordinated so the time is cut quite substantially. But in terms of price per square foot, a good prefab house will cost about the same as a custom-built home. Above: Prefabricated panels in various materials and sizes are visible in this shot of PLACE's prefabricated home design.
added by Erin Lang Norris to Your Yard: Are You Ready to Lose the Lawn?
This grid of green is unique and pleasing to the eye. It's perfect for somebody who seeks to obtain a more orderly look than ornamental grasses provide.
For Johnston, it's impossible to put a price tag on the thrill of creating something she really loves and that is also valued by the Guckenheimers. "This family sees the importance of treading lightly on the earth," she says. "They were so happy with the house concept that they didn't need to change much. In exchange, they got an easy, low-stress design process out of everything — and a home that reflects their life philosophy."Related article: What's Up With Prefab?
