Prefab or modular homes aren't as bad as you may think. In fact, they're quite efficient. Yes, you will be moving large materials that will most likely require special or professional handling, but these transportations costs could still save you on time and number of trips back and forth. Having lesser days of construction will also help you save on overall labour cost. It is also better for the environment since the structures are built inside a factory, that means there won't be chemical and material wastage left on site. 

I'm sure these beautiful cottages are bound to change the way you think about prefab homes. Let's check them out shall we?
