Take a look at Tektum's House2.0, the housing of the future.
With housing affordability on everyone's lips, we take a look at a cheaper, environmentally sustainable and efficient model of housing that is prefabricated.
Called House2.0, the prefabricated home is the latest in architecturally-designed modular housing by Australian company Tektum. Prefabricated housing is manufactured off-site in advance, and transported and assembled on-site, saving construction costs. Tektum's House2.0 takes just 12 weeks to build in the factory, and is ready to occupy within a week of installation on site. This home was recently launched at Bilgola Beach in New South Wales, and the owner allowed it to be viewed by the public throughout August.
Experts say prefab housing has the potential to reduce the cost of a new dwelling by at least 10 per cent (excluding the purchase cost of land), making prefabricated homes an attractive solution for first home-buyers or those in areas of increasingly high prices, like Sydney.
