@Anthony Rosa When you say Pre fab, are you talking about Modular (built off site to UDC) or Manufactured (built off site to HUD code) most municipalities will not allow Manufactured, and many subdivision covenants do not allow any home to be brought in, they must be site built. generally the only savings with factory built homes are time, the cost is pretty much on par with site built vs equivalent Modular, Manufactured the same floor plan will be about 15% cheaper, but your resale will suffer dramatically, as Manufactured homes tend to depreciate over time.
