We had our prefab delivered a few weeks ago. It was MUCH cheaper than a brick house on site, was well under $1000 a square metre. They build them in 6 weeks but it takes 9-10 months to get council approval, finance, pick your colours etc. And then there were all the headaches of arranging tradies to finish the place off (although the builder can arrange that it costs more than doing it yourself), so almost the opposite to what fionas said
We got a prefab with a LOT of extras (higher ceilings, fancy kitchen benches, fancy cornices yada yada) which added about $20k to the list price of the house so we could have got it for about $90k in the end. This is a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom 2 living area house.
Yeah, the house is great We were in a small cottage with one bathroom before and it is SO good being able to sloth around in our own ensuite while the kids each hog the other toilet, bathroom and vanity doodat. Before we got the furniture in Miss 3 was trying to claim our WIR as her bedroom.
But the best thing - Mr 1 now has his own bedroom and he sleeps through the night fairly often now, we never had a night with less than 3 wakeups before he had his own room.
