Prefab houses are not only made of wood and stonework, as prefabricated steel houses are also attracting more and more interest in Italy. Let's find out how much a modular construction house built with steel costs in Italy.
Advantages of steel prefab houses
Thanks to the raw material used in their construction, prefabricated steel houses are able to guarantee a strong, light and flexible structure. They therefore offer excellent performance from an anti-seismic point of view, ensuring the best possible response in the event of an earthquake. Unlike a traditional building made of reinforced concrete, for example, which even if it does not fall during an earthquake, may subsequently crash and have to be demolished, steel remains standing and is generally not damaged.
But in addition to total seismic safety, a prefabricated steel house is a housing structure with zero degradation due to the resistance of the raw material even over the years. The construction system is fast and precise, the components are produced in a factory and assembly takes place on site by inserting them into new generation casings, with dry systems, which guarantee extremely high thermal and acoustic insulation, also ensuring energy saving, soundproofing and durability.
In addition, once all the necessary building permits have been obtained, a prefabricated steel house can be built, assembled and delivered in 6 months (but it can also take as little as 4 months, the time frame also varies depending on the case). A prefabricated steel house is also suitable for adding height modules because they are very light.
Prices of prefabricated steel houses
How much does a steel modular home in Italy cost? As far as price ranges are concerned, there is not much difference compared to the costs of wooden and concrete prefabricated houses. Focusing on turnkey prices of steel prefab homes in Italy, we start from an indicative figure of 1,200 euros per square metre, but as with everything, the price can vary depending on the project and can go up to 1,300 euros per square metre with high quality finishes. If we are talking about a luxury villa, there is obviously a further difference in costs.
If you want to focus on a prefabricated steel house with a home automation system, the price per square metre for a house of more than 200 square metres is around 1,450 euro per square metre in Italy, while for a house with a surface area of 110 square metres, the price will be around 1,600 euros. The most advanced models of prefabricated steel houses may be capable of consuming more energy than they consume, in order to cut energy bill costs as well.
Biccari, Italy: 'We have set up an online catalogue of houses from 1 to 30,000 euros'
The village of Biccari is located in Apulia, in the province of Foggia. A town of 2,600 inhabitants with a medieval feel, it is surrounded by rich and fertile nature (such as Lake Pescara and Mount Cornacchia). Here the 1 euro house project is struggling to get off the ground because people coming from abroad prefer to buy homes in a better state of preservation, and not in need of such serious work. We talk about this with the mayor, Gianfilippo Mignogna.
Italy property auctions: Italy's top properties for sale at auction
If you're thinking about buying a house in Italy in 2024, one way to get a great deal is to buy a property up for auction. Property auctions in Italy, known as "aste immobiliari," are a common method for buying and selling real estate, and often allow you to save a considerable amount of money on the purchase of a home. Italian property auctions usually mean the chance to buy a property for 20-30% less than its market value.
