What comes to mind when you hear the word “pre-fab home”?
Bet you thought of soldiers’ barracks, temporary shelters or low-cost houses that the government put up for mass housing in the 60s and 70s.

Pre-fab
homes today are practically custom-built, beautifully designed, sturdy,
long-lasting, energy-efficient, and ready to meet the challenges posed
by the elements. Although built in quick time, no compromise has been
made on its quality or integrity. New homes that use this fast and
flexible building technique have also been hailed for using sustainable,
recycled, low-energy materials and fixtures that result in functional,
space-efficient, eco-friendly design.

Classy
looking and stylish, Aluform Pre-Fabricated Homes come in two designs:
Country and Zen. Both are airy, with their respective charm and appeal,
are spacious and energy efficient, and make good use of available light
and ventilation to lower energy bills by as much as 20%. The energy
savings of up to 20% is due to good insulating roof and wall materials,
plus sufficient air ventilation that keeps the stylish home in a
comfortable 28 degrees Celsius zone at high noon!

The
façade is made of wood-like planks of finished materials, while the
actual panels are reinforced with pre-cast concrete filled with
insulation materials for total thermal, moisture and acoustic
protection. These give the homes their energy-saving properties.
Designed for both luxury and function, strategically placed windows and doors allow natural light to enter the home. The windows use a certified double-glazed system that insulates the house from external noise and other kinds of pollution. Louver features below the roof keep the ceiling well ventilated at all times.
The houses have a floor area of 135 square meters and have a multi-purpose Lanai, which is one of the best features of Aluform Pre-Fabricated Homes. The generous space opens up the home investment to many possibilities. The lanai area can be used to make a bigger dining room, if desired, an entertainment area, a bigger garage. Or even to open up a business space like a home office, a mini grocery, barber shop, parlor, snack shop, kitchenette, or other enterprise that can make the home earn additional income for its owners.
Built to withstand the elements, Aluform Pre-Fabricated Homes are easier to put up than conventional on-site constructions. One can have a home built in 60 days or less that is immediately livable because furnishings are already in place within that period. Highly versatile, they are also good for export and are transferrable to other locations in the future, if desired.
“Aluform Pre-Fab Homes are highly desirable during these times when more and more families and individuals lead an active lifestyle and are discovering their entrepreneurial spirit. They can be lived in as simple residences, but can also make good home offices or the site of income generating ventures. Enterprising owners can make them places where they can “live and earn”. There are infinite possibilities,” says Ritchie Catalan, Marketing Officer of Aluform Industries, Inc.
Aluform Industries, Inc. supplies the materials for the homes but would-be owners can engage their own contractors if preferred. They can also avail of Aluform’s services for the house construction.
