But not every timber frame construction is a prefabricated house.Ahem... Prefabricated houses are mostly timber frame construction
That’s why I wouldn’t buy a prefabricated house either. Pricewise, they almost reach the level of custom-designed houses.In terms of price: prefabricated houses are currently mostly more expensive than solid houses.
Admittedly not in Germany. However, the construction method has 4 intrinsic disadvantages:Creepy experiences... Which ones? From which construction years?
Creepy experiences basically depend on the execution. With a messed-up plan and a doubly messed-up execution, even the best concept will be botched.
a) Low heat and water capacity, i.e. poor thermal insulation and possibly poor climate
b) Low sound insulation
c) Strong transmission of structure-borne noise.
d) Usually, there is a necessary vapor barrier directly under the inner shell. Holes and execution errors here can cause problems very quickly.
Sure, you can try to compensate for these points with elaborate solutions, but then it gets expensive and it won’t be optimal.
