A modular room, also known as a prefab room, is a room built inside a factory. It's then transported to the building site and finished there. Little Rooms specialises in creating modular rooms with our combined 75+ years of building experience. There are several benefits to having a modular room compared to traditional buildings.
Modular vs traditional
Building
Due to their construction method, modular is a better option than traditional in many ways. The designs at Little Rooms are tried and tested. There’s no back and forth between an architect and builders on site. Weather also has a much smaller impact as modular builds aren’t affected until it’s time to install them. With all the wet weather at the moment, traditional construction has been delayed for months.
Price
Modular builds also are generally cheaper. This can vary depending on factors like size and customisation. Compared to traditional builds modular homes are cheaper. The modular rooms built at Little Rooms are definitely more affordable compared to an equivalent traditional build.
Speed.
We can install a Little Room in several weeks without council approval. Our builds conform to all the building requirements in New South Wales. No more waiting months to even start building. We can start immediately and deliver a finished product in just a few weeks. So if you’re needing somewhere to move in ASAP then a modular room is the choice for you.
Land impact
Traditional builds leave a lasting impact on your property. From rubbish removal, large trucks or even cranes, you don’t face the same problems with a modular room. We take great care to minimise our impact on your property and no cranes are necessary.
Design
Our modular rooms are all architecturally designed models. Using set models keeps costs to you low. Traditional buildings have more customisation opportunities. So if you've got a very specific design in mind a traditional room is right for you. Modular rooms are also customisable but to a much lesser extent. They're generally smaller builds but still provide everything you need.
Accessibility
If you are after a much larger space, then a traditional build is the right match for you. If you have limited space then our Little Room are perfect as they range from 12sqm to 19.8sqm. These sizes are ideal for a spare room, hobby space or home office.
Conclusion
When it comes to modular rooms vs traditional builds there are plenty of differences. Your needs dictate whether a modular room or a traditional build is the best choice. It's clear that modular rooms win out in several categories: price, speed and impact on the land. If you need an extra room or a small office then a modular room is a great option.
