We get asked this all the time:
“What’s the actual cost of a prefab home?”
And it’s a fair question — because when you’re relocating, retiring abroad, or just planning smarter, budget is everything. The good news? Prefab homes tend to be far more predictable in cost than traditional builds. But there are still a few key things you need to factor in.
Let’s break it down.
Base Home Kit Price
This is the starting cost of your chosen home design — including the materials, wall systems, windows, roofing, insulation, and structural elements.
At Expat Homes, prices typically range from £85,000 to £180,000, depending on:
- Size (m²)
- Design complexity
- Finishes & insulation level
- Custom upgrades
Delivery & Logistics
Prefab homes are delivered in parts — meaning the transportation cost depends on:
- Your location
- Local road access
- Crane or lifting requirements
Ballpark range: £4,000–£12,000
We’ll confirm exact figures before you commit.
On-Site Build / Assembly
You’ll need a qualified team to erect the house on your prepared foundations. We coordinate this globally.
Typical cost: £20,000–£40,000
(Faster and cheaper than traditional brick builds)
Foundations, Utilities & Services
These are location-specific costs and include:
- Groundworks & slab
- Plumbing & electrics
- Heating/cooling installation
Estimate range: £20,000–£50,000 depending on country, site access, and service availability.
Optional Extras
Things like:
- Saunas
- Solar panels
- Carports or garages
- Upgraded kitchens/bathrooms
Add what matters — skip what doesn’t. We’ll guide you.
