The amount of labour and building materials required is moderated significantly comparing to regular construction, plus the benefit of not wasting any supplies due to weather, theft, or vandalism – as everything is kept in the production facility.
2. Mass timber prefab is quicker to construct
A pre-fabricated building takes far less time to build than a house built on-site. This is because in a production facility, production is precise and not affected by weather or material delays. Once shipped to the build site, the pre-fab timber can be assembled in a matter of days. Timber prefab, unlike stone or brick, uses renewable wood to save considerable amounts of time and money.
3. Environmentally friendly

Since most of the construction process of completed in a production facility, rather than on-site, the use of shipping and construction vehicles is significantly cut back. Additionally, this means that less building materials are used, and far less product is wasted.
