Prefab Homes Ireland – Our latest Loghouse.ie blog post, focuses on the problem of the housing crisis in Ireland. As the costs of buying and renting traditional houses are rising and supply is limited, many first-time buyers are being priced out of the market. But there is a bright light emerging – prefabricated homes. As a fast, affordable, and sustainable housing solution, prefab homes are helping more and more Irish families to own their homes.

The Prefab Housing Boom in Ireland

The market for modular construction in Ireland has grown at 8-9% per year and will continue to grow in the next four years. Experts estimate that the market for prefab construction will reach €2.5 billion by 2028.

As Ireland’s population increases, the need for homes is not being met. Prefab homes, which are manufactured off-site and then transported to the site, can partly meet this demand. The construction process is much faster than that of traditional on-site construction. For developers and homebuyers, the prefab model is a way to solve the housing shortage in Ireland.

How Prefab Homes Solve Ireland’s Housing Problem

The supply of housing stock in Ireland is at an all-time low, with only 10,380 homes listed for sale in January 2025, 0.5% of the total housing stock – (Source – https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0219/1497647-housing-stock-levels-fall-to-new-historic-low/) . First-time buyers have a limited choice of affordable homes below €200,000 and many have to rent.

Pre-fabricated homes are a way to affordable homeownership. Constructed in controlled factory conditions that minimise costs and waste relative to stick-built construction, prefab homes are the result. To developers, weather risk is eliminated and labour productivity is enhanced by building away from the job site. These cost savings are translated into the prices of the prefab homes, which can be on average 20% cheaper than that of the site-built houses.

In addition, modular construction produces much less construction waste than traditional construction methods. To buyers, this sustainability means better quality homes at lower prices. Prefab homes are the answer to Ireland’s housing supply problems in terms of affordability and quality.

How to Fund Your New Prefab Home

This is because, as the popularity of prefab is increasing in Ireland, the funding options are also increasing. Some banks in Ireland now provide home loans for prefab homes, especially if the homes are developed by renowned prefab builders like Loghouse.

Furthermore, there are other financing options from credit unions and other providers like Loghouse’s Log Cabin Finance partner – HUMM. It offers funding of up to €30,000 for tiny prefab homes and log cabins. Due to the improvement in access to credit and the availability of tailored loans, it is now easier to own a prefab home even on a low income.

Prefabricated manufacturing is a process that produces much less construction waste than traditional building processes.

For homeowners, this sustainability means lower energy bills and a better impact on the environment. The prefab housing sector in Ireland is providing homes that are friendly to the environment and to the people living in them.
