While the nostalgia for old-fashioned buildings is understandable, today's factory-built homes offer a compelling alternative and address the realities of the country’s aging housing stock.
A recent home listing featuring a nondescript 1990s house read "a great place to start over." The details focused on the land and its prime coastal location – nothing about the house. Though the home was relatively young, the seller assumed the buyer would demolish the house to build new.

The lament goes beyond mere nostalgia. It’s a rejection of today’s throwaway culture, where products are designed to last only until the next trend or model. It reflects a longing for the quality craftsmanship and longevity that characterized homes of the past. However, the sentiment overlooks the remarkable advancements in construction technology today.

New technologies, materials, and processes are making it possible to build homes that are more efficient, sturdy, and long-lasting than ever before. Factory-built homes, like those constructed by BuildLabs, embody this evolution. These homes benefit from precision engineering, superior materials, and innovative construction methods, resulting in structures that not only meet but exceed the standards of traditional craftsmanship.
