Prefabricated Housing Proposal

Summary Statement of Proposed Project:
There are many different ways to construct a building. Two methods in particular stand out more than the rest. A comparison between Prefabricated and built on site homes will show which of these methods is best suited for the world we live in today. Could prefabricating homes be the building method of the future?

Purpose:
· To determine whether prefabricating homes is better than building them on site.

Goals and Objectives:
· To take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each building method.
· To compare between costs, energy involved, build time and building quality of each
method.
· To determine how the flexibility of designs for prefabricated houses measure up to houses built on site.

Methodology and Analytical Approach:
· Research each building method and discover as much about them as possible, cost to both the environment and peoples funds is the main deciding factor here so that will be the focus.
· Discover a variety of personal opinions on prefabricated homes.
· Books and websites should give sufficient information for the above objectives.
· Construct a report on the pros and cons of each method in order to reach a consensus.

Previous Studies:
Studies have been previously conducted for each of the building methods and some comparisons have been made between the two. This research will provide a more in depth report on the differences between the two methods and give a final conclusion as to which construction method is better.

Plans for Dissemination of Work:
Putting the work on the internet should provide a fairly large audience with many different opinions; blogs will be the easiest source to get quick feedback from the public. Discussions amongst classmates and other people in the architectural field should help spark several different questions to aid in completing the research.

Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Over the following year i will be gathering information in order to create a research document. My research is going to be an in depth comparison between prefabricated and built on site houses. I look forward to reading anything that people would like to post so feel free to criticize or compliment my work.
