Prefabricate or build on site?

Buildings can be built on site from the foundations up or can be delivered as prefabricated parts that are put together on site. Various sizes of prefabricated elements can be delivered; options include the degree of finishing. These elements could be complete parts of the walls or the roof, where everything is finished. The time to establish a pre-fabricated building is, of course, much less than for buildings constructed on site. Whether prefabricated buildings are to be used or not depends on the price which will vary from case to case depending, among other factors, on the freight costs. The available building period will also influence the final choice.
