Also known as kit homes and transportable homes, flat pack homes are houses that are prefabricated offsite and then delivered to the site, in a flat pack or kit, ready for construction. The idea being that preparing materials prior to construction in this way maximizes efficiency, caps time, and reduces overall cost.
It is important to note that not all flatpack homes are the same. There are a range of types available. the amount of work required to construct the house varies depending on the product and supplier. In some cases, the homes structural elements, (i.e., Walls, floors, windows, and ceilings) Delivered as the flatpack and the prospective homeowner, or his/her builder needs to put it together.
In other cases, the supplier not only supplies these structural elements but also puts them together for you leaving you two only take care of all the interior fittings, furnishings, and so forth.
according to this definition flat pack kit homes are the same as prefab homes. it’s circuses on speed and efficiency and they arrive on site already fabricated to some degree. they should not be confused with modular homes. in this case, the structures are actually constructed, at least to some degree, off site and transported in pieces (or modules) to be put assembled on site.
