Building Homes.

When scouting for a house these days, whether for acquisition or just rental, one of the things that is usually asked is "Did typhoon Ondoy flood this area last year?". Truly, after that destructive flooding that hit the metro months ago, a lot is now more cautious about the property's location. Of course, nobody wants to have their fruits of hard work submerged in murky flood waters, right? Nobody wants to risk the lives of their loved ones and a secured home, that is famine-free (as much as possible) is what we want to provide our families.

I know several friends who were victims of the said catastrophic typhoon. But it's pretty amazing how they were able to get back on their feet and start lives anew. The very proofs of their resiliency are their houses that are well fixed and made up in a blink of an eye as if they weren't hit at all. I wonder if they utilized new mobile homes similar to the ones that are commonly used in the US. Do not confuse mobile homes with motorhomes and rv trucks. Also called manufactured homes, these mobile homes for sale use cutting edge technology where the house is built in the factory then transported to the site through panelized and pre-cut homes and installed. We do not have this technology yet but I know for sure that the local house manufacturing industry is looking at this already as many homebuilders in the US opt for these. They have cheaper price as opposed to site-built ones and implore environment friendly processes.
