Help & Advice

This page gives simple, practical guidance to anyone considering a prefab home.
If you are new to modular homes, start here.

1. Where to Start

1. Decide your purpose:
   • Permanent living
   • Rental / Airbnb
   • Office / studio
   • Guest house or vacation cabin
2. Decide your size:
   • 1 BHK, 2 BHK or 3 BHK
   • 20ft, 30ft or 40ft units (depending on the model)
3. Check your local rules:
   • Zoning regulations
   • Foundation and permit requirements
   • Utility connections (power, water, sewage)

We always recommend confirming local regulations with your city/county or a local contractor.

2. Choosing the Right Home

When comparing our models, consider:

• Number of people who will live in the home
• Plot size and access road width (important for delivery truck access)
• Bathroom and kitchen needs
• Budget, including installation and site works (foundation, utilities, etc.)
• Whether you may expand later with additional modules

If you’re unsure which model fits your needs, email us at support@prefabia.store
with your requirements and we can suggest options.

3. Site Preparation Basics

Prefab homes arrive largely completed, but the site must be ready:

• Clear and level ground
• Foundation prepared as per engineering requirements
  (concrete pads, blocks, piers or slab – depending on your installer)
• Access route for the delivery truck and lifting equipment
• Space for crane / forklift if required for positioning the unit

Prefabia provides delivery on a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) basis to your
specified location, but unloading and installation are not included and
must be arranged separately by you with a local contractor.

4. Utility Connections

You will need local professionals for:

• Electrical connection (compatible with USA standards – typically 110V/220V)
• Plumbing and drainage connection
• HVAC installation (if not pre-installed)

Our homes are designed as “USA ready” from the electrical side, but final
connections must follow local codes.

5. Delivery Day Tips

• Make sure the site is fully prepared before scheduling delivery.
• Confirm that access roads are clear and strong enough for a heavy truck.
• Have your installation / crane team ready on the same day, if possible.
• Inspect the exterior and interior on arrival for any visible transport damage
  and record it (photos/videos) before installation.

6. After Delivery & Support

Once the home is delivered and installed:

• Register your purchase and warranty details (keep your invoice and order ID).
• Read our Warranty Policy and Returns & Refunds Policy for full conditions.
• For any questions or support, contact support@prefabia.store.
