The Best Prefab Cabins

A prefab cabin can be a great choice for a cabin. Also sometime known as modular cabins, prefab cabins have a few notable advantages over standard completely site-built cabins.

1. They are faster to build and can be designed, built and installed in as short as a few months

2. Many models are more energy efficient allowing you to save hundreds or thousands per year in energy costs in cold climates

3. They are lower maintenance
