10 Reasons To Choose A Prebuilt Cabin

When you are ready to build a cabin, it can feel like the only options are to make a cabin from log timbers or a stick-built cabin. But what about a prebuilt cabin? These are often associated with shed cabins, but with Zook Cabins, our pre-built cabins are constructed in our shop, built to meet or exceed your local building standards, and then assembled on-site. In this blog, we will provide you with six reasons why choosing a pre-built cabin is the best option for you

1.) Prebuilt Cabins Are An Easy Process

In the past, building a simple log cabin was hard, tedious work. You would call a company, wait for them to send you floor plans, pick the floor plan you want, make edits, and then spend lots of time going back and forth about how things would go. 

Now with Zook Cabins, we offer an impressive array of prebuilt cabin home styles and designs. To make it as easy as possible for you, we include a 12-step program to help you plan and execute the construction of your new luxury log cabin. To get a taste of how easy and straightforward the process is, check out Fred Eibling’s Cabin Project Diary, where he explains everything about his cabin life from a first-hand experience.

2.) Weather Safe-Construction

Since all of our construction happens inside our giant warehouse, the weather never slows us down. We can construct your cabin year-round, regardless of the weather. This way, the rafters, floor joists, and beams will never get warped or cracked from the rain and snow. We love that we can install everything in your cabin without having to lose the quality of the materials due to inclement weather.

3.) Save Time On Construction

Without the interference of weather, we can complete your cabin much faster than stick-built construction. Regardless of the weather or time of year, we can dedicate 100% of our time to completing your cabin. 

No one wants to wait years to have their cabin built. Especially when you have just finished all your blueprint drawings and your excitement is running high! Roughly 85% of the construction is done at our location, and then we deliver the components to your property, where our team of professional carpenters completes the installation.

4.) Various Design Options

Contrary to what most people think, our modular homes come in a variety of options. In our cabin living options, we do not have a “one size fits all” approach. We know that you want your cabin to be unique and reflect your personal style as much as possible. That is why we offer numerous options for size, style, and floor plans to help you find the best fit for your cabin! Even options like a cathedral ceiling can be added to help create a bigger space.

Something that makes Zook cabins different from other log cabin builders is our full product lineup. We also offer modern cabins, HUD cabins, ADUs and Park Model Tiny homes. All of our homes are built to residential standards; however, park models may have some special stipulations in your state. Take a look at the list below to see what requirements your state has for park model tiny homes.

5.) Lower Cost 

When considering a prebuilt cabin, keep the cost in mind. At Zook Cabins, a cabin like ours is going to help save you money in the long run. When you receive a finalized quote from Zook Cabins, you can trust us to stand by that price. On the other hand, stick-built on-site homes are known to have price creep, where the cost quickly becomes unaffordable compared to what was previously agreed upon. 

The reason we can keep our costs lower is that we oversee all the details at our shop, allowing us to offer a more affordable price overall. You will be glad to save yourself the stress and the money when it comes to building your cabin for your extraordinary cabin life.

6.) Less Stress

Since most people do not build cabins every day, they do not understand how much work it takes for inspections, meeting building codes, and organizing contractors and materials. One of the biggest features we offer is that we will do all the hard work for you. We do everything, such as construction, plumbing, wiring, and insulation. We even make sure to build your cabin to meet construction codes and local building requirements. We are happy to do the work for you so that you can spend your time planning and dreaming for your future cabin life, regardless of where it is.

7.) Customizable

Unlike most traditional builders, a prebuilt cabin can be customized to meet your specific needs. Want a larger closet to store winter clothes? No problem. Would you like to remove the knee wall at the entryway? We can do that. With a pre-built cabin from Zook Cabins, we are happy to provide any of the accommodations we can.

8.) Minimal Disturbance to Property

When you are looking to add a prefab cabin to your property, it’s reasonable to be worried about how your property will be treated. However, when you have a prefab cabin delivered to your property, most of the time, we do not have to make any disturbances to your property. So your property stays intact, and you have a beautiful home to enjoy.  

9.) Easy to Place

One of the beautiful things about a prefab cabin is that it is easy to place. While traditional construction can be challenging to accommodate all types of soil, that is rarely the case with a prebuilt cabin. This is because with a prebuilt cabin, you can select the kind of foundation that fits the needs of your soil.

10.) Multiple Sizes

Multiple sizes allow you to have a say in various aspects of the project. First, the size of the homes available to you will enable you to select the one that best suits your property. Second, the sizing will allow you to find a cabin that works with your budget.
