How can I build a house cheap and fast?

The cheapest and fastest way to build a house is to build a prefabricated house yourself. That’s because there’s no waiting on hired labor or materials to build and complete the home. Prefab homes come in pre-constructed pieces that can be quickly and safely assembled on your land upon arrival of the shipment.

Is it cheaper to build a house if you do it yourself?

Due to the high cost of general contractors and specialized construction labor, you can save on home construction costs by building a house yourself. While traditional stick-built homes are more difficult to build yourself–and therefore, often more costly–prefabricated homes offer an alternative that saves time and money.

What do house kits include?

Prefabricated home kits from Mighty Small Homes include exterior walls, roof panels, ridge beam or truss, house wrap, roofing felt (underlayment), plate lumber, and 160 ft of wiring chases.

What are the walls of a Mighty Small Home made of?

The walls of Mighty Small Homes kits are SIPs (structural insulated panels), which are made of two structural facings held together by a center of insulated foam. SIPs are considered very structurally sound, in fact strong enough to withstand hurricane-force winds.

What is a prefabricated home?

A prefabricated home, or prefab home, is a home which is manufactured in pieces off-site and delivered in pieces to be assembled upon arrival at the construction site.
