You've probably heard the term "prefab container home" but what does it actually mean?
At Home Tech Club, we specialise in building prefab container homes that are stylish, affordable and ready to go! Here's a simple breakdown of what they are, how they work and why more Aussies are choosing them over traditional builds.
Prefab = Pre- Fabricated
"Prefab" is shorter for pre- fabricated, which means the home is built off-site, then transported and installed where you want. instead of building everything from scratch on your land, we build your container home at our site- right here in the Hawkesbury region- then deliver straight to you, ready for connection.
This approach saves time, reduces costs and skips a lot of the hassles that come with conventional construction.
