Find Out What It's Really Like to Build One at A PreFab Project Blog

Want to know what it's like to take on a prefab home project? Look no further than this great blog: A Prefab Project chronicles construction of a modern prefab home in West Virginia. The project is a nice looking design from Resolution: 4 Architecture that's being built as a vacation home and rental property. The blog is the owner's very personal telling of the story of the house, from conception, to buying land and preparing the site, to working with Res 4 and seeing the house being built in their factory. It's schedule to be complete in August, and it will be neat to see the finished product.




There are a ton of useful bits of experience passed on by the blog's author that can help you get prepared for your own project. In particular, I like the page dedicated to cost tracking. I'm very curious to see more cost info as the project proceeds. It's great to daydream about beautiful kitchens and floor to ceiling windows, but money is where the rubber meets the road. We all know how tight budgets can be, and how quickly costs get out of hand. Understanding the true costs of a project like this before you start could very well make the difference between finding your dream home and just plain being disappointed. I really appreciate that this information is being shared with the rest of us to learn from.

Cool blog. I wish them the best of luck with their project. Looks great so far!!!
