Prefab homes are prefabricated homes which are built off-site and then transported to the construction site where they are assembled. When compared to concrete structures, they offer a number of advantages. They are lightweight, simple to install, earthquake-resistant, wind- and rain-resistant, and can survive temperatures ranging from -50 to 120 degrees Celsius. They can also be made sound-proof. Most importantly, there are no hassles involved in obtaining approval for the designs from the municipality or applying for permits from government organizations. Prefab houses are all purpose which can be used to build provisional offices, houses, dormitories, shops, schools, hospitals et cetera.

Since the earthquake, prefab homes have become more and more popular because they are less expensive than other types of construction. Although some individuals have doubts about the structure, it is a solid choice for a country like Nepal, which is prone to earthquakes. Some of the advantages of Prefab House are:
> Low-cost housing
> Earthquake-resistant buildings
> Safe and inexpensive
> Saves time

According to estimation, a prefab house with 1 floor 4 rooms has a cost of around 10 to 15 lakhs NRS. While the total cost of a prefab home is highly variable based on size, amenities, and location, you can expect to pay between Rs. 1600 and 2200 per square foot – an amount that often includes the home’s interior fixtures and amenities.
