Questions about buying prefab

A prefab (prefabricated) structure is built in a factory in sections or as a complete unit, then transported and installed on your site. Common types are container houses, portable cabins, site offices, security cabins, toilet blocks and industrial sheds.

Yes. Sending an enquiry and receiving quotes is free and there is no obligation to buy.

No. Prefabbers is a marketplace. Independent manufacturers build, deliver and install the structure, and your order and warranty are with them. We help you find and compare the right maker.

It depends on size, materials, insulation, interiors and delivery distance. Each product shows a starting price; your quote is based on your exact requirement. As a rough guide, simple portable cabins are priced per square foot and furnished container homes per unit.

Prices shown are indicative and usually exclude GST, transport and installation. Your written quote will show these separately, and you get a GST invoice from the manufacturer.

Payment terms are agreed with the manufacturer. A common arrangement is an advance on order, a payment before dispatch and the balance after installation. Always ask for a written quotation and GST invoice.

Most standard cabins and container units are ready in 4–6 weeks from order confirmation. Large or custom projects take longer — your quote will include a timeline.

Most structures need a level base — usually concrete pillars, a plinth or a PCC bed. The manufacturer shares a foundation drawing after you order. Foundation work is normally done by the buyer.

Manufacturers on Prefabbers deliver across most of India. Transport cost depends on distance and site access and is included in your quote.

Usually yes — most manufacturers handle unloading and installation. Check your quote for what is included, for example crane hire, electrical connections and plumbing.

Rules depend on your state and local authority and on whether the structure is temporary or permanent. Check with your municipal or panchayat office before installation.

Common options are MS (mild steel) or GI frames, PUF or EPS insulated panels, and corrugated steel shipping containers. Each product page lists the materials used.

Warranty is given by the manufacturer and varies by product. Ask for warranty terms in writing with your quote.
