Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prefab house?
A prefab house (prefabricated house) is a structure built using factory-made components that are transported and assembled on-site, offering faster and more efficient construction compared to traditional methods.
How is a prefab house different from traditional construction?
Unlike conventional concrete houses, prefab houses are built using modular steel frames and insulated panels, reducing construction time, labor, and overall cost.
Are prefab houses durable enough for Australian weather?
Yes. Our prefab units are designed for Australian conditions — they are typhoon-resistant, heat-insulated, and durable against heavy rains and strong winds.
How long does it take to build a prefab unit?
Depending on the size and design, most prefab units can be installed and ready to use within 1 day after site preparation.
Can prefab houses withstand typhoons and earthquakes?
Yes. North Western Modular prefab units use high-quality steel structures and insulated panels that are engineered to withstand strong winds and seismic activity.
Is a prefab house permanent or movable?
It can be both — prefab units can be fixed permanently or relocated to another site if needed.
What materials are used in your prefab units?
We use galvanized steel frames, iEPS sandwich panels with insulation, and high-quality fiber-cement mix flooring to ensure strength, comfort, and long lifespan.
Do prefab houses get hot inside?
No. Our insulated wall and roof panels are designed to keep the interior cool even during hot weather.
