What does the "lifespan" of a prefabricated house mean?

Hello everyone,

I had a lot of time to think last week in the hospital and a very simple question came to my mind:

What does an assumed lifespan of XX years mean for a prefabricated house?

Is the hut then at risk of collapsing or uninhabitable, or do costly renovations arise (which ones??)

I can't really imagine much in connection with this term?

Thanks for your help

What does an assumed lifespan of XX years mean for a prefabricated house?

Where did you get such information from?

It is stated in various house construction forums when the pros and cons of timber frame construction vs. solid construction are discussed.... For "prefabricated houses" in timber frame construction, the lifespan is often given as 30-40 years....

Therefore the question....

Best regards

I've never seen it like that either. But then my parents would soon have a problem (Fertighaus aus 1979). ;-) No, just kidding. I think with proper care and maintenance, the house will outlive you too.

Appears in various house-building forums,

In which forums?

My answer to your question (with link) was deleted because it probably did not comply with the rules... :cool:

Sorry...
