Prefab Homes by Modvista vs. Traditional Civil Construction: A Comprehensive Comparison

It has been a long time since there were any significant changes in construction methodology. The ‘civil construction’ method that the world has come to accept, has not only burdened the planet but has taken away the joy of building a home. That home building is cumbersome, is a given. But things are changing, and the pace of change has increased. The way houses are built is evolving rapidly. Prefabricated (prefab) homes, powered by advanced technology, are setting a new benchmark in the construction industry. Modvista’s prefab home construction offers exceptional quality, speed, and sustainability compared to traditional civil construction methods. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two based on key parameters:

  1. Strength
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: These pre-engineered homes are made with high-quality materials like steel frames and advanced composites. Prefab homes are designed for superior strength and durability. The structural strength of homes built by Modvista is nearly 5 times more than the traditional method. These homes will stand the test of time unlike any other.
    • Traditional Construction: This relies on brick, mortar and concrete, which has lower structural strength and can deteriorate over time due to weather effects. Consequently, these homes are susceptible to structural issues like crack development.
  2. Flexibility
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: From exterior facades to interior spaces, Modvista offers complete design flexibility, allowing customization of layouts, materials, and finishes to suit individual preferences. With our user-friendly process, home-owners can conveniently build their weekend-home, exactly the way they had imagined.
    • Traditional Construction: Limited by conventional materials and techniques, making it less adaptable for unique or modern designs.
  3. Time Efficiency
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Modivista’s Prefab components are manufactured off-site, reducing construction time by up to 50%. Homes are then assembled on-site in weeks. A lot of resources and time are saved, also reduces environmental impact as compared to lengthy civil on-site processes.
    • Traditional Construction: On-site work is lengthy, often taking several years or more to complete. Each department functions as a separate agency, leading to significant time and quality loss in coordination.
  4. Sound Insulation
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Uses modern materials with superior cladding that enhance soundproofing properties, ensuring quieter interiors.
    • Traditional Construction: Achieving effective sound insulation may require additional effort and cost. In many cases, gaps and crevices act as points where sound can enter the space.
  5. Fire Resistance
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: The use of advanced materials like treated steel and advanced composites offers enhanced fire resistance and safety.
    • Traditional Construction: Traditional brick-and-mortar homes have on average 30% less fire resistance.
  6. Thermal Conductivity
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Features insulated panels and energy-efficient materials, ensuring excellent thermal regulation and reduced energy costs.
    • Traditional Construction: Often less energy-efficient unless additional insulation is added at extra cost.
  7. Termite Resistance
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Steel and composite materials used in prefab homes are naturally termite-resistant. Even in case of an infestation, it cannot damage the core structure.
    • Traditional Construction: The material is not termite-resistant and is known to cause serious damage.
  8. Life Span
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Engineered to last over 3-4 decades with minimal maintenance due to durable materials and precise construction methods.
    • Traditional Construction: Typically starts deteriorating after 20-22 years, from here on high-cost regular maintenance is required to address wear and tear.
  9. Humidity-Proof
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Advanced materials and finishes prevent moisture-related damage, making them ideal for humid climates.
    • Traditional Construction: Susceptible to dampness and structural damage if not treated regularly.
  10. Higher Salvage Value
    • Prefab Homes by Modvista: Components can be reused or recycled, providing higher salvage value and promoting sustainability. This also has a huge bearing on the lifetime cost of the weekend home.
    • Traditional Construction: Salvage value is almost zero, as most materials deteriorate over time and are difficult to reuse.
