Designing Prefab Buildings That Are Beautiful & Functional

Reading Time: 5 minutes

The idea that prefab leads to boxy, blocky, and assuming structures is a thing of the past. Prefabricated buildings offer limitless design possibilities, allowing architects and builders to choose specific styles and aesthetics. Read on!

 

Prefab buildings can be visually stunning and contribute to an attractive architectural landscape.

Making The “Modular Boxes” Disappear

While most people may perceive prefab construction to lack style or architectural interest, it is important to recognize that it doesn’t have to be true. Developers have the creative freedom to choose any materials for the exterior they desire, allowing them to construct prefab buildings that are aesthetically pleasing and visually captivating. By incorporating exceptional and innovative architectural elements, prefab construction can confront conventional perceptions and create stylish and architecturally interesting buildings.

To enhance the style and aesthetics of prefabrication buildings, a variety of materials such as concrete, steel, and wood can be utilized. There are various exterior material options: vinyl siding, panels, wood siding, stone veneer, and thin brick that allow you to have a sleek, traditional, rustic, or modern look.

• Prefab buildings can be enhanced on-site by applying various exterior skins such as EIFS, metal panels, and brick. These finishes can be applied over a prepared substrate allowing them to resemble 100% site-built structures by adding building articulations, roof lines, balconies/overhangs, and more.

Did you know: Prefab structures typically have their exterior skin installed in the field.

Prefabrication is gaining popularity due to its numerous benefits, leading more developers to consider offsite construction techniques.
