What Are Modular Homes?
Modular homes are permanent timber-frame dwellings built off-site in a factory and delivered in sections for rapid on-site installation. They meet building regulations, require no permits, are energy-efficient, and offer shorter build times with lower costs. Every unit can be customised to suit layout, finish, and usage requirements. With a typical lifespan comparable to traditional homes, modular housing provides a modern and cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality or comfort.

Modular Home Pricing
Modular homes are a cost-effective alternative to rising house prices in Ireland. You get the same structural lifespan as a traditional build, without the delays, disruption, or constant site management. Most modular homes don’t require planning permission, so you avoid costly applications and long waits.
Cabcon offers fixed pricing based on size, with the option to upgrade finishes. Every unit includes a fully fitted bathroom, with additional extras like kitchens, interior furnishings, and cladding available to suit your budget.
Modular Homes vs Traditional Homes
Modular homes offer a faster, cleaner, and more efficient way to build. Factory construction eliminates weather delays, reduces on-site labour, and produces less waste. With timber frame construction and minimal construction and demolition (C&D) waste, modular homes are more environmentally responsible. Most don’t require planning permission, making the entire process simpler and cheaper.
