Prefab cabins are an economical, practical, and beautiful option that deserves an honest look. You can save so much much hassle and time by getting a prefab cabin versus the more traditional and expensive “on-site” build option.
WHAT IS A PREFAB CABIN?
A prefabricated or “prefab” cabin is a building that has been planned and built in a factory before being transported to a construction area. The word “prefabricated” refers to a method of construction and design that is similar to what is meant by modular cabin. Although the word “prefabricated” may conjure up images of standard and cookie-cutter construction, there is actually a tremendous amount of customization possible on prefab cabins both inside and out.
PREFAB CABIN USES
There are several reasons to think about buying a prefab cabin. Prefab cabins are simple, appealing, and make excellent vacation cottages. Small prefab cabins can also be utilized as an outdoor workplace or studio. A small cabin is your canvas to turn into whatever space that you desire.
A weekend get-away cabin, compact house, workplace, deer lease cabin, guest quarters, home office, art studio hobby area, budget-friendly tiny house are all excellent uses for the prefab cabin.

Ahh… the allure of a secluded restful night’s sleep, free of intrusions and located in a beautiful natural setting far away from the hustle and noise of cities and highways. Clearly, getting your very own cabin is the best way to achieve this… but why get a a “prefab”. cabin?
Prefab cabins offer several unique benefits compared to traditional stick built cabins:
1. Short lead times
Because prefab cabins are built in a large shop, they can be produced so much quicker than the stick built method.
2. Prefab cabins are portable
If you are unsure about where you want to build your cabin, a prefab cabin is an outstanding choice because it is movable by design. If you are leasing land or simply are unsure of the what positioning you want for your cabin on your land, there is a huge peace of mind that comes from knowing that you can move your cabin if the need ever arises. You can read our blog for more information on the benefits ofportable storage buildings.

Although you can build portable cabins on top of a traditional concrete foundation, you may also opt for a more simple gravel shed style foundation. Simpler foundation, means that installation is potentially quicker and cheaper than other methods available.

The first 3 advantages of a prefab cabin that we have listed here all add up to a cabin that is simply going to be more affordable than traditional stick built options. Pre-building the cabin in the shop means that there is much less waste when it comes to time and material.
WHERE SHOULD YOU BUY A PREFAB CABIN?
Your cabin is a long-term investment, as such you should treat it that way when you are considering purchasing one. You will never regret paying attention to the quality details of the builder you are working with. 20 years after your purchase when that nasty Texas thunderstorm rolls in, you will be glad once again that your cabin is equipped with the best roofing, siding, and framing.
Having said that, here are the general ground rules that should be considered when selecting your builder.
1. Your cabin builder should be local
A prefab cabin is by definition portable and can technically shipped in from far away. If you have a relationship with the builder that may be a safe bet, but the best choice is working with a small local company that is ready and available to listen to your distinct needs.
2. Your cabin builder should be well established
You want to make sure that your cabin builder has a positive history in the community. Whether by google or facebook reviews or by a friend or neighbor who has had a good experience with the company, you want to know that you are working with a company that truly cares about its customers. Your builder should have a personal interest in your success in creating your dream getaway space.
3. Your builder should be able to customize your cabin
You want the benefits of a prefab cabin… but what you don’t want is a boring cookie cutter cabin. Your builder should listen to your needs and be able to customize your cabin the way you want it. For example do you just want the shell so that you can finish it yourself? Or do you want a “turn-key” cabin that is completely finished and ready to go?
Also, is your builder willing to work with you to carefully choose your style? Your builder should be a considerate of siding styles, roofing materials and colors that you desire to make sure that your building looks outstanding in your desired landscape.
