When starting a building or remodeling project, one decision you'll have to make is whether to use on-site carpentry work or pre-fabricated modular construction. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and the right choice depends largely on the unique requirements and scope of your project. This blog breaks down the key differences between the two methods to help you determine the best fit.
On-Site Carpentry
Traditional on-site carpentry involves skilled trade workers using raw lumber and other materials to construct and install elements like walls, floors, roofs, trim, and cabinets directly at the job location.
Pros:
Fully customized look and feel regarding design attributes like walls, ceilings, millwork and trim
Flexibility to make changes during the build
Materials can be locally sourced
Cons:
More disruptive to have work done on-location
Weather issues can more easily delay projects
Typically more expensive for labor and building process
Modular Building
Modular construction fabricates major components like walls, rooms, and kitchens under controlled industrial factory conditions. These finished modular structures are then delivered to the site and installed.
Pros:
Less expensive than on-site carpentry
Faster construction timelines
The weather has little impact on timelines
Efficient process with less material waste
Cons:
Options for customization are more limited
Usually involves some on-site work for specifics
Restrictions for challenging build sites
