Wooden house on fire 1  

It is fiction that a wooden house may spontaneously combust during very high temperatures, whether or not in combination with a long exposure to direct sunlight.
It is also fiction a that a wooden house is not fire resistant. Believe it or not, but in some scenarios a wooden house will last longer in a fire than a steel frame buiilding.

17. WE HATE NAILS 

 Nails  

We do no use one nail in our connections. Driving nails in hardwood is asking for trouble. The wood easily splits and/or cracks whereas the nail can hardly be pulled out due to the very dense cell structure of hardwood, leaving behind significant damages to the wood. We connect our prefab parts by means of cut-to-fit threaded steel rods in pre-drilled holes, secured with washers and nuts.

18. DO IT YOURSELF

DIY  

All of our engineered houses, (small, large, 2-storeys, over water units), gazebos, tree and tea houses are specially designed for the "Do It Yourselfer".  Due to our unique connection system very easy to assemble, not one nai used, no contractor needed and no lifting equipment required. Our 3-D assembly manual works like an IKEA© kit, part-by-part with detailed numbered connection codes. It can't go wrong. Have fun assemble the house or gazebo with family and/or friends

Prefab World Bali

Reviews from Prefab World Bali

"Of so many websites I had visited, yours is one of the best designed and focused. I am truly surprised at the amount of information regarding your company's expertise and experience that you willingly publicized online.

It's little wonder that copy cats are lining up, salivating to emulate your achievements. However they will never be able to muster the expertise in both structural and architecture knowledge that is endowed in the educational background.
Few also will be able to emulate your:
o  business integrity (which is extremely rare nowadays)
o  passion to experiment on what works best and continually incorporating them into your design and end products and
o  using the highest quality raw materials and their treatments thereof to ensure a defect free building that will withstand the     test of time.
Little wonder that your company is the foremost prefabricated wooden house company in Indonesia.
Keep up the great work and may I wish you the very best for years to come
Leong Yue Peng, Malaysia."
