We would have built both, now we are building massively. One disadvantage I see with a prefabricated house is that you have to decide everything in advance. Before production starts, the electrical planning is done and the tiles must already be selected. Also the location of all sanitary fixtures. With massive construction, everything happens little by little, you can take care of the individual trades step by step, for example deciding which lamps to place where only after the topping-out ceremony. This is easier for many when walking through their house than looking at a design plan. This also applies to bathroom planning...
I have to intervene here Of course, it depends on the company, with us, they were very flexible. Exception: sanitary fixtures, those are fixed. But I was able to change almost every single socket on site with the electrician and even had nearly 10 sockets added afterwards. That's no problem at all since it's just a hole made with a wood drill bit. Of course, if the electrician is an idiot or instructed to strictly follow the plan, nothing works of course. With the lamps, we were also asked again at every cable where exactly it should go. Plans are one thing, in reality you often decide differently. We also discussed switches, etc. on site and corrected errors in the planning. This naturally requires that you can be on site full-time the first 4-5 days to discuss such things spontaneously. I can't say anything about the feel-good climate, for us there is no difference. Psychologically, we find it cool to have a prefabricated house, simply because it is something unusual. I believe we were the number one topic of conversation in the village for days because everyone here has built massive houses, and in the new development area only massive houses stand, except for 2 other prefabricated houses from my provider. We even built in the old town center, which made it even more exotic. But one thing you have to get used to with a prefabricated house: it is wood, and wood moves. Sometimes it makes really nasty noises when the house cools down in the evening after a hot day. At first, I was still startled, now I have gotten used to it. The thing with the wall thickness is of course a good point... I don’t know what’s normal, but some of our interior walls are very thin... very space-saving when it comes to pantries etc. By the way, they are soundproof, my father-in-law snores like a sawmill and when he visits he sleeps in the next room. I have never heard him, unlike in his massive house from 2004. There I really have to be careful to sleep before him, otherwise I go crazy.
