Prefab houses in Montenegro

We build prefab houses for year-round living, weekends and renting out: single-storey or two-storey, with a rendered facade or timber cladding. We prepare the structure in our workshop near Rožaje and assemble it on your plot, anywhere in Montenegro.

30 to 90 days from the start of assembly

What is a prefab house

A prefab house is a house whose elements are made in advance in a workshop and then put together on the plot into a finished building. It is no different from a traditional house in quality, only in the way it is built.

The walls, roof and structure are prepared under controlled conditions, so rain and cold do not affect the quality. While work goes on in the workshop, the foundation is laid on the plot. That is why assembly takes weeks rather than months, and less time means less risk and lower costs.

  • A house ready to move into 30 to 90 days after assembly starts
  • A fixed price and clear deadlines in the contract
  • An energy-efficient structure and lower heating bills
  • Materials from trusted sources
  • Turnkey construction, from design to move-in

Types of prefab houses

We adapt every house to the plot and to the way you will use it. These are the shapes we build most often.

Three ways to build

The same house can be built in three ways. The difference lies in the look of the walls, the price and the maintenance.

  1. 01

    Classic prefab house

    Insulated panels, a timber frame and the facade of your choice. The best balance of price and quality for year-round living.

  2. 02

    Solid log house

    Solid beams and visible joints, the look of a real mountain house. Ideal for holiday homes and tourist accommodation. More on the log cabins page.

  3. 03

    Hybrid house

    Solid timber combined with a panel structure: visible wood with modern thermal insulation, larger glazed areas and a more modern layout.

How much does a prefab house cost?

The price is calculated per square metre and depends on the structure, insulation, roof, windows and doors, and on whether we build a shell or a turnkey house. Every item is explained on the prefab house price page. For an estimated price for your house, send us the floor area and the building location.

  • 02StructurePanel, solid, hybrid

  • 05Stage of worksShell or turnkey

Which size to choose

  1. 01

    A house for year-round living

    For living in all year round we choose thicker insulation and triple-glazed windows. A family house is usually 80 to 140 m2.

  2. 02

    Holiday home

    For occasional use, 40 to 80 m2 is enough. We often suggest a log cabin, because it needs less maintenance while the house stands empty. See holiday homes.

  3. 03

    Houses to rent out

    Several smaller houses in a row often earn more than one large one. A modular design lets you add houses in stages. More about holiday rentals.

  4. 04

    Turnkey house

    If you would rather not manage tradespeople and purchasing, we take on the whole job with a fixed budget, from choosing the tiles to the lighting. See what a turnkey house includes.

How the build works

One contractor from the first conversation to handing over the keys.

  1. Enquiry and quote

    You send us the building location, the approximate floor area and what you need. We reply with a layout idea and an estimated price within 24 hours.

  2. Design and contract

    We agree the layout, materials, deadlines and payment stages. The contract sets out a fixed price and the handover date.

  3. Foundation and workshop production

    While the foundation is laid on your plot, we prepare the walls and structure from dried timber in our workshop in Kačapore.

  4. Transport and assembly

    We bring the elements on our own truck and assemble the structure, roof, windows, doors and installations on the plot.

  5. Handover

    We hand over the house with a warranty on the structure and the work carried out. We stay available after you move in, too.

Permit, foundation and plot

Most residential buildings need a building permit, so check the zoning of the land before you buy a plot. We help with preparing the documents and with working alongside a local architect. More in the article do you need a building permit for a prefab house.

A prefab house stands on a concrete foundation or slab, which is built while the structure is being prepared in the workshop. For a comparison with traditional construction, read prefab or brick house, and for timescales, read how long it takes to build a prefab house.

Where we build

Our workshop is in Kačapore near Rožaje, and we build all over Montenegro: from Rožaje, Berane and Bijelo Polje to Podgorica, Nikšić, Žabljak and the coast. We have also built in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania.

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, call us or send a message on WhatsApp.

All questions
Is a prefab house cheaper than a traditional one?

Usually it is, but the difference is not only in price. The bigger difference is in control over deadlines and quality, because the structure is made in the workshop. Less uncertainty also means fewer hidden costs.

How long does it take to build a prefab house?

Assembly on the plot itself usually takes 30 to 60 days, and from the start of assembly to move-in it takes 30 to 90 days. From preparing the documents to moving in, it takes 3 to 6 months on average.

How long does a prefab house last?

With good construction and regular maintenance, more than 50 years. What matters most is the choice of timber, the insulation and precise assembly of the roof and facade.

Do I need a building permit?

For most residential buildings, yes. We help with preparing the documents or with working alongside a local architect.

Can I choose the materials myself?

Yes. You choose the timber, facade, roof, windows and doors and the interior finish, and we guide you through the options that suit your budget.

Is a prefab house warm in winter?

Yes, if the insulation and the windows and doors suit the climate. We size the insulation for the climate zone your plot is in.

How do I get a quote?
