How Prefab Construction Keeps The Noise Off-Site
Stick-built homes are completely constructed on-site. Your neighbors will hear every saw and hammer starting at 7:00am every morning for many long months, especially with the specifications of a larger custom home.
Conversely, an Acorn Deck House is mostly prefabricated in another location. House panels and interior millwork are constructed off-site in the optimal conditions of our climate-controlled indoor fabrication facility, which greatly reduces on-site construction noise and eliminates site-built uncertainties (i.e. weather) that delay progress.
Prefabricated components include all of the materials required to create a weather-tight shell, in weeks not months. Major components are meticulously precut and detailed for tight tolerances and an accurate fit based on your custom design.
Our proprietary millwork – including mahogany entry doors, mahogany windows and sliding glass doors, magnificent stair and rail systems and trim styles –are all handcrafted in our fabrication facility.
This off-site build minimizes construction noise and reduces on-site construction time, and offers these advantages:
-
Window sizes and shapes are manufactured to meet your desire for uninterrupted walls of glass as well as your need for privacy in certain areas
-
Specialty engineered floor systems offer superior strength and allow for installation of plumbing, heating and wiring with minimum on site cutting
-
Beams and other structural members are pre-cut and pre-drilled to conceal connecting hardware
-
Wall panels have tight tolerances and high structural integrity
-
Pre-engineering reduces framing time and dramatically reduces waste
-
Specialty millwork products complement the overall design
