🔍 What’s the difference between a container home, mobile home, and lightweight/modular home?

Although all three fall under the prefabricated home category, there are key differences in structure and function:

Container home:
Built from new or used shipping containers, which are insulated, clad, and fitted with mechanical systems. Durable with an industrial aesthetic.
Mobile home:
Designed for easy transport and quick installation. Built with a wood or steel frame, independent of container dimensions.
Dimensions conform to road transport regulations.
Lightweight or modular home:
Partially or fully assembled on-site. Commonly used for family homes.
Typically larger, and intended for permanent residence.

🏠 Which type is recommended for long-term living?

For long-term, comfortable living, we recommend a modular or lightweight prefabricated home, especially if the goal is year-round residence.

💸 Do mobile homes retain their value over time?

The value of a mobile home depends on multiple factors:

Permits – consult the local building authority before buying
Design & construction process – should be transparent and traceable
Transport distance – longer distances may significantly increase final cost
Site infrastructure – check water, electricity, sewage, and terrain conditions
