Prefab or On-Site Construction?
One of the most common searches is "prefab canadian house price". There is a misconception that prefab is always cheaper and faster. However, at Canadian Houses, we offer a superior alternative: the industrialized Canadian system built on-site.
The Truth about Prices
Our models start from 2,700 UF. Although you can find cheaper prefab kits, these usually do not include:
- Foundation and slab
- Certified sanitary and electrical installations
- High-quality finishes
- High-standard thermal insulation
When adding these "hidden" costs, the price of a prefab comes very close to that of a superior quality permanent construction.
Why we are NOT prefab (and why it's better)
We build your house on the land. This allows:
- Adapting the foundation to the specific soil type.
- Making design adjustments on-site if necessary.
- Ensuring perfect sealing and insulation, without the cold joints typical of prefab panels.
