Small prefab houses are increasingly popular in Europe for residential extensions, holiday use, and functional spaces.
This project features the installation of 20-foot small prefab houses in Greece, designed to provide a compact, efficient, and flexible building solution. The project was developed for a private site located in a natural environment, where fast construction, minimal site impact, and clean design were key requirements.
Project Overview
- Project Type: Small Prefab Houses
- Unit Size: 20 FT
- Location: Greece
- Application: Small residential and functional space
- Structure: Prefabricated steel frame system
The prefab house structure was delivered in modular components and assembled directly on site. The steel frame and roof panels were installed first, followed by wall systems and interior preparation. This method allowed the building to be completed within a short construction period, even in a wooded area with limited access.
The flat roof design and clean structural lines help the building blend naturally with its surroundings, making it suitable for both private and semi-residential use.
Why Small Prefab Houses Were Chosen
Compared with traditional construction, small prefab houses offer several practical advantages, especially for projects in Europe, where speed and environmental impact matter.
- Fast Installation
Most construction work is completed in the factory, reducing on-site building time. - Compact and Efficient Design
The 20-foot size is ideal for limited spaces while still providing practical interior layouts. - Lower Construction Disruption
Prefab assembly minimizes noise, waste, and disturbance to the surrounding environment. - Flexible Usage
Units can be used as guest houses, studios, offices, or holiday cabins.
On-Site Application in Greece
In this project, the small prefab house is intended for:
- A private functional living space
- Temporary accommodation
- Multi-purpose residential use
The modular design allows future upgrades, relocation, or expansion if needed, providing long-term flexibility for the property owner.
Frequently Asked Questions About Small Prefab Houses
Q1: What are small prefab houses?
Small prefab houses are compact buildings manufactured in a factory and assembled on site. They are designed for quick installation and efficient use of space.
Q2: Are small prefab houses suitable for the Greek climate?
Yes. They can be equipped with insulation, moisture protection, and ventilation systems suitable for Mediterranean weather conditions.
Q3: How long does it take to install a 20FT prefab house?
Once the foundation is ready, the main structure can usually be assembled within a few days, depending on site conditions.
Q4: Can the interior layout be customized?
Yes. The interior can be customized to include living areas, bathrooms, kitchens, or storage spaces based on the project’s needs.
Q5: What is the expected service life of a small prefab house?
With proper maintenance, small prefab houses can be used for 15 to 25 years or longer.
