Why steel frame
What leading steel builders get right — adapted for Cyprus
The same strengths you see from top modular steel firms worldwide: precision, resilience and a clearer path to keys — tuned for Mediterranean heat, coastal air and local permits.
Straight, stable steel structure
Light-gauge galvanized frames stay square — no warp, twist or rot. Strong strength-to-weight ratio and detailing suited to Cyprus seismic expectations.
Built for island climate
High-performance insulation and envelopes for summer heat and winter cool. Moisture-aware detailing for coastal and humid plots.
Factory precision, fixed packages
Modules built under quality control while foundations are prepared. Clear Shell, Shell + first-fix or Turnkey scope before we break ground.
Faster than typical concrete
Parallel factory + site work often lands keys in about 6–10 months once permits are in place — typically faster than a conventional concrete villa programme.
Permits with one coordinated team
Planning and building permits are required for permanent homes. Architects, permit specialists and builders stay on one path from sketch to handover.

We work across all cities in Cyprus — with site visits and installs in Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca, Nicosia and beyond.

Prefab homes in Cyprus — FAQ
Prefab, modular & steel frame homes in Cyprus: your questions answered
Common questions about building a prefab, modular or steel frame home in Cyprus with Cyprus PrefabHomes — steel is our main system; wood frame is also available.
How much do prefab houses cost in Cyprus?
Cyprus PrefabHomes packages start from €1,299/m² shell, €1,599/m² shell + first-fix, and €1,899/m² turnkey (VAT not included) on a defined standard scope with Cyprus permits — construction on your land, not materials-only kits. Starting prices include a typical raft or footing on flat or mild plots. Retaining walls, piles, rock excavation or heavy cut-and-fill are quoted after site survey. Large glass and luxury finishes are extras. Full ranges: see Pricing.
How long does it take to build a prefab or steel frame home in Cyprus?
The steel structure is built off-site while foundations are prepared in parallel, so most Cyprus PrefabHomes projects land keys in about 6–10 months once permits are in place — typically faster than a conventional concrete villa. Exact timelines depend on design, permits and site readiness.
Do I need planning permission and a building permit for a prefab house in Cyprus?
In almost all cases, yes. A prefab or modular home on a permanent foundation needs planning and building permits via the IPPODAMOS portal — same path as a traditional house — and must meet Cyprus Building Codes and Eurocodes. We work with licensed architects and permit specialists from design to approval.
Are prefab and steel frame homes in Cyprus permanent and considered real estate?
Yes. Once assembled on a permanent foundation and connected to utilities, a prefab or steel frame home is a permanent legal real-estate asset — valued, taxed and able to be sold or inherited like a traditionally built house in Cyprus.
Can I get a mortgage for a modular or prefab home in Cyprus?
Usually yes. With a permanent foundation and full permits, most Cypriot banks treat it as real property and offer standard housing loans; some lenders may ask for a higher deposit. A staged construction loan is often converted to a permanent mortgage after certification and utility connection.
Are steel frame houses in Cyprus earthquake and weather resistant?
Yes. Galvanised steel frames are engineered for Mediterranean conditions — seismic performance, high winds, and high-performance thermal and sound insulation when specified in the full package. Design follows Cyprus Building Codes and Eurocodes; insulation and detailing matter as much as the frame, which is why we specify a complete build package, not steel alone.
Can I customise a modular house design?
Yes. Start from a catalogue design or a fully custom steel-frame plan. Layouts, finishes, bedrooms and bathrooms can be adapted to your plot, budget and lifestyle in Cyprus.
Do you deliver turnkey modular homes across Cyprus?
Yes. We design, manufacture and install prefab and modular homes turnkey across all cities in Cyprus — including Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca and Nicosia — from first design to move-in ready handover.
Do you also build wood frame / timber houses in Cyprus?
Yes. Steel frame is our core offer, but wood frame is available when it fits your plot, design and preference. Same permits path, fixed-scope packages and turnkey delivery island-wide. Mention timber preference in your free plot review.
What is the difference between light steel and heavy steel frame homes?
Light-gauge steel (LGSF) uses cold-formed galvanised profiles for fast single- and two-storey homes. Heavy steel uses larger sections for bigger spans, extra floors or higher loads. We recommend the right system for your size, design and budget — both engineered for Cyprus conditions.
Is there a government grant or subsidy for building a prefab home in Cyprus?
Cyprus has run housing subsidy schemes for younger buyers and families that can also apply to modular homes on permanent foundations. Amounts, age limits, size caps and deadlines change often. Confirm the current scheme and your eligibility with the Ministry of Interior before you budget — we do not guarantee subsidy approval.
What does each package include (Shell / first-fix / turnkey)?
Package 1 (Shell) from €1,299/m²: structure and weather envelope with typical foundation on a standard plot. Package 2 (Shell + first-fix) from €1,599/m²: adds rough-in electrics, plumbing and related first-fix work. Package 3 (Turnkey) from €1,899/m²: finishes to a defined scope so you can move in. Exact inclusions are locked in your fixed-scope quote — see Pricing for the full comparison.
What do I need for a free plot review?
Pin the exact plot on the map (or give a clear address), desired m² and bedrooms, preferred package if known, land status, and a phone number we can reach. No obligation and no site-visit fee — you get a clear yes/no on fit before you commit.
What warranties do you provide?
Written cover typically includes a 10-year structural warranty on the galvanised steel frame and a 2-year workmanship warranty on build quality and finishes, as set out in your contract. Package materials follow the fixed scope — no silent substitutions.
Who handles permits and the building site?
One coordinated Cyprus PrefabHomes path: architects and permit specialists for planning/building permits, factory production of the structure, and on-site assembly and finishing to your package — not a DIY materials kit you manage alone.
How well insulated are the homes for Cyprus summers?
Packages specify high-performance insulation and envelope detailing for Mediterranean heat and cooler winters. Exact build-ups and energy performance depend on the design and finishes locked in your quote; we size the envelope for comfortable, lower-energy living on Cyprus plots.
How do payments and deposits work?
After a free plot review we issue a fixed-scope quote. Payment is staged against agreed milestones (typically deposit, production/permits progress, then completion) as written in your contract. Exact percentages are set per project — we confirm them before you sign.
