Beginners Guide To Prefabricated Buildings
A blog about prefab sheds and garages that can be easily built.
Prefabricated buildings are a great way to add extra storage space or a garage to your property. With the right plans and materials, you can create something that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. This guide will outline what you need to know about prefabricated buildings by Red Shed Co., from design options to installation costs.
What is a pre-fab building?
A prefabricated building is one that has been constructed in a factory and then transported to the site for installation. The advantages of this method include being able to build quickly, with minimal construction on site, as well as using high-quality materials in a controlled building environment.
Why choose prefabricated buildings over traditional construction?
There are many reasons to choose prefabricated buildings over traditional construction. Firstly, they're more efficient to build. You can have your shed or garage up in less than a week because the components are made off-site and then installed on-site by experienced installers with all the necessary machines and tools.
Secondly, prefabricated buildings are more affordable than traditional construction methods because there's no need for expensive materials like bricks or stone that have to be transported from long distances at great expense.
How can I find the best materials for my individual needs?
When you're choosing a prefabricated building, it's important to choose one that has been made from the right materials. The climate you live in will have an impact on what type of material is best suited for your needs. For example, if you live in Ontario and want to build a garage or shed outside, then using LP Smartside would be ideal because it can withstand fluctuating temperatures without rotting away over time. On the other hand, during winter months with snow and cold temperatures, metal roofing may be better suited than shingles because metal does not deteriorate as easily as shingles does when exposed to moisture over time (and thus won't need replacing).
Do I need a permit to build or install a prefabricated building or shed?
You may need a permit to build or install a prefabricated building or shed. Check with your local government for more information. In Ontario, structures under 160sqft no longer need a permit. At Red Shed Co., we always recommend our customers reach out to their local municipality and regional government to confirm the requirements for their structure.
How much does it cost to buy and install a prefabricated building or shed?
It's important to understand that the cost of your shed or garage will depend on several factors, including its size and complexity. The style and features of your structure also play a role in determining what you'll pay for it.
