Premium and high-end prefab house manufacturers

It prices the finished house at 2,850 €/m², the same rate across its whole range, 59% above the median for turnkey houses priced in Spain. What you pay for is bespoke design on a galvanised steel chassis and a house that arrives with a fitted kitchen, bathrooms, built-in wardrobes, an air-source heat pump and heat-recovery ventilation, plus the design project, site management and planning paperwork. VAT and everything that depends on your plot are extra: utility connections, earthworks and, according to its FAQ, the foundations. For buyers who want it made to measure with the price clear from the outset; not for those comparing on price per square metre.

What brings it close to the high end is the architecture, not the price: reused shipping containers whose Corten steel is left exposed, and a house that arrives with a fitted kitchen with a quartz worktop, oven, microwave, hob and extractor hood, full bathrooms, design project and administrative paperwork. It charges a mid-range price per square metre for turnkey homes (1,639 €/m²), so it does not charge for design as a luxury. For buyers who want the house to look like what it is, a container; not for those after a classic look.

It presents itself as a builder of high-end homes, and what backs that up is how much it handles for you: its fixed price includes the planning, topographic and geotechnical studies, the design project, site management, the building permit and the placement of its steel modules with concrete floors, which arrive with an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and cooling, a fitted kitchen, bathrooms and built-in wardrobes. VAT is not included in that price. For buyers who want to hand the whole build to a single company and not deal with architects or the town hall on their own.

Its case rests on reinforced concrete and what goes inside it: precast walls assembled in days and a finished house with an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning with a thermostat in every room and balanced ventilation. It charges above the median price per square metre for turnkey homes (2,025 €/m²), and its quote generator gives you the figure instantly, per square metre and per region. For buyers who want concrete and a clear price before picking up the phone; not for those looking for timber or a small house.

What brings it close to the high end is the design: straight-lined cubes with flat roofs, porcelain floors, Silestone, Dekton or wood worktops and a choice of stone, engineered wood or porcelain façade. Its price does not: it charges a mid-range price per square metre for turnkey homes (1,489 €/m²), and the brand itself describes its homes as traditional build quality at a tighter price. Its fixed price already includes the design project, the permit, the slab and site management. For buyers who want a designer house without paying the price per square metre of the most expensive ones.

What sets it apart is not the finishes, which are simple (vinyl flooring, plasterboard partitions and electric heating), but how far its most complete price goes: design project, permits, site management, earthworks, foundations, transport and installation of its concrete modules on a steel frame. Per square metre it comes to 1,630 €/m², so what its buyers pay for is the building work taken care of, not luxury. For buyers who want to close the whole build at one price; not for those looking for high-end interiors.

It declares the Passivhaus standard across its range and backs it with continuous external insulation, free of thermal bridges, plus ducted air conditioning and an air-source heat pump. Its fixed price is for a finished house and goes a long way: design by an architect and a building surveyor, site management, ground studies and, depending on the model, kitchen, tiled bathrooms, made-to-measure wardrobes and parquet or stoneware floors. Its turnkey houses come to a median of 1,791 €/m², with the median for all turnkey homes at 1,639 €/m². For buyers who want a very efficient house from a Spanish manufacturer.

It is a British architecture studio that designs cabins, saunas and timber houses with a Nordic look, and its high end lies in that signature. For living in, it offers bespoke houses and a single-storey catalogue model, the Hytti, which it sells in the United Kingdom and in Europe. Its price is a pound sterling price list, converted, and customisation is extra. For buyers who want a timber house with signature design rather than a fixed catalogue.

Its high end lies in what the photos don't show: a house designed for healthy indoor air, with wood-shaving insulation it makes itself, shielded electrical wiring, solid wood parquet and doors and branded sanitaryware, designed to measure and with an interior designer to help choose the finishes. It is a German price list, with German VAT included and calculated for its delivery area there, so it cannot be compared with prices in Spain. For buyers who put the health of the interior ahead of everything else.
