- Prefab house
The manufactured home- or factory prefabricated home – is one of the most reliable and affordable options on the residential construction market. It allows you to save a lot on the costs of new construction, in addition to offering a level of reliability that is difficult to obtain on a conventional construction site.
Since its beginnings, Batitech has been refining its construction methods. From year to year, our company takes up the challenge of innovating in the construction of prefabricated houses, which allows our customers to count on an accessible and reliable solution to build their new home.
Are you thinking of buying a kit house? In this article, you will find a list of the many advantages offered by Batitech houses to save time and money, to reduce the environmental impact of your construction site and to simplify access to property.
What is the difference between a prefabricated kit house and a conventional house?
Between a 100% site-built home and a fully assembled home in a warehouse, our prefab panel home package offers the best of both worlds.
When we compare construction methods, we realize that this type of house has many advantages for buyers, in addition to simplifying the assembly and transport of materials.
Instead of handling raw materials and operating heavy machinery in the open to build your home, Batitech manufactures the panels (insulated walls, windows, interior divisions and pre-assembled floors) in a highly controlled environment.
How can a prefabricated house make construction more reliable?
The main idea is to combine efficiency with sustainability. And to have a durable structure, it is essential to manufacture each part in the best conditions ;
- far from the whims of nature;
- in a place that is not exposed to showers and humidity;
- protected from sudde drops or increases in temperature which can damage, deform or weaken materials;
- out of reach of parasites and insects which can take advantage of long exposures outdoors to infiltrate the materials.
These are the same materials that should ultimately provide you with safety and comfort. By reducing exposure time and optimizing assembly time once the panels arrive on site, you greatly maximize the reliability of each element of the structure.
This is why we took the route of prefabricated panels. By ensuring better control over the manufacturing of the elements of the house structure, we can guarantee better assembly quality and a final result worthy of the best-built conventional houses.
All the benefits of a custom structure, with the superior quality of a factory prefabricated building
Meticulously designed in the best conditions of the Batitech factory and delivered for assembly on your site, the wall sections are already equipped with windows and insulation with absolute waterproofing.
Once the panels are delivered, the walls, floors and roof trusses are then joined according to the house plan that you have personalized from the models available in our catalog.
Personalization therefore never comes at the expense of quality. If you would like to modify one of our plans, oue team can assist you in creating a plan that contains as many rooms, storage spaces and floors as you wish. With our advisors, you can even create your own custom home.
And our customization options aren’t just limited to homes. Because if Batitech succeeds in the rapid delivery of residential structures, our commercial component allows us to create custom made buildings just as efficiently :

Houses made here, four our climate

With Batitech, your house can be assembled quickly in the factory, protected from the caprice of the climate and hostile temperatures. Once the panels arrive on site, assembly can be carried out without delay, to the great pleasure of the people who will have to take care of them!
Methods that innovate, year after year
The immense technical and technological advances of recent years – both across the industry and within our company – make kit homes a more than sensible choice.
For us, the construction of manufactured homes represents a future that will allow buyers to access property more easily, while respecting their budget, while opening up a world of possibilities.
Less risk for new buyers
It goes without saying that by purchasing a brand new house, never inhabited before, you do not have the worries that come with purchasing a used house. You know that the place does not require any renovation, that the foundation is in optimal condition and, above all, that you will not have to undergo the real estate epic that can lead to tough negotiations, offers with or without conditions, one-upmanship…
Knowing that buying a new house immediately involves less risk, a kit house project offers even more transparency. You will have peace of mind from the first day.
Reduced cost of materials and labor
Mass production means economy of scale! You benefit directly from the savings we make by reducing material waste and optimizing manufacturing methods.
Thanks to our well-established design phase, you are sure of no surprise costs from us once the quote is accepted.
In the long term, such well-designed panels, which can count on quality materials, will also reduce your heating bill. A Batitech kit house is an investment that pays off upon signing and the savings last!

Reduction of waste and ecological impact
At first glance, building a kit house is short-lived, which minimizes the fuel required. Thanks to the precise calculations of Batitech plans, a quarter of potential waste is eliminated and only essential materials are moved. That means fewer trucks on the roads. During assembly, you can place your house on a concrete slab, called “monolithic”, “floating” or “on the ground”.
Standardized manufacturing quality
The dimensions of a kit house can vary enormously. However, ous sustainability standards remain unchanged, regardless of the allocated budget.
It is thanks to rigorous planning and monitoring of the production line by our vigilant experts thats we ensure such consistency over such a large turnover.
First step: find your land
If you have any questions when searching for your land, do not hesitate to contact us to find out the criteria for building a Batitech project.
Most people first find their location, then choose their house model based on the parameters requested by the municipality.
Several factors must be considered to determine what the plot of land can accomodate: the difference in height, ease of access, town planning regulations, etc. Some clients then do the opposite and choose the location based on the desired house.
As soon as you have signed the acquisition of the land and received the specifications requested by the municipality concerning the land and what can be built there, you are ready to take the steps with our friendly team.
It is after this first step that we can complete the construction of your house together in just a few months.
