Q&As
Starting Out – to Prefab or Not to Prefab?
We can’t believe we’ve actually secured land in Cambridgeshire, so we’re right at the beginning. We’re keen on prefab idea as have read some very good things, and like the element of speed of construction. Question: is this a safe thing to do in the UK (insurance/ resale / value etc), and can anyone vouch for companies such as Dan-Wood homes who seem very competitive and high quality?

Hi there,
Congratulations on securing a plot!
We have a wealth of information on our website about prefab and package home routes. I think you might find these articles particularly helpful:
Build It‘s Package Home Bible is another useful resource, as it can give you a more specific idea of the companies that offer prefab products and services. This can be purchased here from webscribe for £6.99.
Best of luck with your project, we’d love to see how it turns out.
