All about modular homes: pros and cons of this type of housing

In recent years there has been a lot of talk about modular office building for sale homes and how this niche market has grown in Spain. However, the concept of these homes is often confused with other types of construction, which involve different materials, but have nothing to do with modular construction.

What is a modular home?

A modular house is a house made in a certified factory, which is transported by modules to the site where it will be assembled and finished. This type of house, as Doutor Finanças explains in this article prepared for idealista/news, requires a previous preparation of the land, normally at the buyer's expense, and is seen as a great solution for those who want to build their own house in a short time.

In terms of appearance, it is possible to build a modular house with a modern style, but there are also companies that offer more rustic or minimalist options. Nowadays these houses are no longer limited to a first floor, because many of the companies in Portugal offer projects and house plans with first floor and second floor.
