Prefabricated houses

Converting a rural property into a permanent residence without the required licences and planning permissions can result in criminal liability in Spain.

Pursuing peace of mind and inner tranquillity has long transcended the Eastern world, finding its way into Western homes.

The Spanish luxury real estate sector remains unmatched, with all stakeholders adapting to current trends. The same can be said for prefabricated homes. While the term once carried a negative connotation, today, the opposite is true.

Architect Ángels Castellarnau relocated to Ayerbe, near Teruel, several years ago, where she established her architecture studio.

Being able to build your dream home is wonderful. Before you start, however, you should consult with and ask several architects and builders for information. The same applies to prefab housing. In this article, we list the best modular home companies in Andalusia. 

Modular houses are becoming more and more common in Spain. Not surprisingly, they're built quickly and are also usually cheaper than traditional houses. Requesting a mortgage from a bank is one way to finance a prefab house, although it's worth keeping in mind that they have some particularities.

Mobile prefab homes are increasingly in demand in Spain. A clear example is the number of companies selling them, which grows every day. Some firms offer self-sufficient mobile homes built with 100% recyclable materials and cutting-edge technology. They are ideal for campsites or modular resorts and start at €49,900.

Sustainability and speed of construction are two of the attributes that define today's prefabricated houses. A clear example of this can be found in this 128-m2 home designed by Tini Living that was assembled in just 10 days in Barcelona. Another of its qualities is its efficiency and sustainability. It has large windows to optimise natural light, which considerably reduces energy consumption. As for the price, a project of these characteristics ranges between €1,800 and €2,000 per square metre.

In 2024, a 20% growth in modular home manufacturing is expected, and forecasts indicate that by 2030, 40% of new homes in Spain will be prefabs. In this context, Kyabin was born, a 36-m2 modular house built in just 30 days and installed in one, powered by American Building System (ABS) and produced in its factory in Azuqueca de Henares, Spain.
