With shorter delivery times, controlled costs, and the ability to adapt to different terrains, modular and industrialized homes are becoming an increasingly popular option in Argentina.
Prefabricated houses, like those manufactured by Idero, are created in a factory and then transported for installation on the land. Gentleness
Modular homes offer many benefits; firstly, the system allows for fast construction , lower costs, high energy efficiency, customizable design, and greater sustainability due to reduced waste.
Idero makes a key conceptual distinction: “It’s a mistake to talk about prefabricated housing . Industrialization is a process that prefabricates parts and/or components for later assembly in an engineering process. It’s very similar to the automotive industry , where no one calls a vehicle prefabricated.” They emphasize: “ We build industrialized housing, entirely in a factory .”
Regarding the models, they explain that the Ceibo, Urbana, Evolutiva, and Mediterránea lines offer options ranging from 30 m² to 78 m², with one to three bedrooms and up to two full bathrooms . They detail that these homes are designed to provide functional spaces and even high-end finishes, ready to move in, and also allow for various customizations such as overhangs, pergolas, terraces, or balconies .

Idero offers a catalog featuring 15 different options, tailored to each specific plot of land and the needs of various family groups. All of their prototypes enjoy consistent demand, from smaller models ideal for couples to expandable designs for families of six . The two-story , 60 m² Procrear model, designed with a footprint of only 30 m², has also been particularly well-received by developers, providing a perfect home for a typical family of four.
They also highlight that, in addition to the traditional purchase format, they launched Casa Propia, a program that integrates industry, architecture, and technology to facilitate access to housing. “It allows individuals and families to buy their home in stages, at their own pace and without extra expenses, with micro-purchases starting at US$10 until they reach 60% of the value , at which point they can opt for delivery of the modular home through a 5-year lease ,” the company explains.
The ease of installation is another key point highlighted by Idero. “ These prefabricated homes can be installed on any plot of land , anywhere in the country. Before installation, an assessment is carried out to determine the best foundation,” they explain. And they emphasize a key advantage: “They are fully relocatable , meaning they could be moved to another site in the future .”

The company emphasizes the sustainable nature of these homes, as they are built with 100% recyclable steel and feature an efficient design that minimizes environmental impact . "They offer excellent thermal insulation and the best price-to-product ratio on the market," they assert. In terms of time, they claim it is possible to build and deliver move-in ready homes within a maximum of 90 days .
Similarly, Marcelo González, commercial manager of Modular Services and Systems, emphasizes flexibility and weather resistance. “The first advantage of modular homes is that you can assemble them wherever you want . It can be any terrain, any shape, any layout,” he explains, adding that even on complex terrain, “you drive the pilings, assemble it, and leave it where you want, without any earthmoving.”
He also highlights the change in construction times: “A typical 100-square-meter house can take eight months to build. With modular homes, they travel by truck, arrive, are unloaded, and are already pre-assembled.” He adds, “The house is assembled in a week, and then the finishing touches begin. A high-end home can be completed in 120 to 150 days.”
According to experts at the company Evolutiva, the key to these new constructions lies in efficiency.
For his part, Augusto Mustafá, co-founder of Evolutiva, agrees that the key lies in efficiency . Among the most sought-after features, he mentions the dry construction system (Steel Frame), fast delivery within 45 to 60 days, and complete thermal and acoustic insulation. He also highlights compact and optimized designs, with sizes ranging from 21 m² to 84 m² .
Regarding the best-selling models, the company lists everything from a 21 m² studio apartment or tiny house , ideal as a first home or for rental, to an 84 m² two-bedroom house designed for family use, with the possibility of future modular expansion. As for installation locations, the company states that they are suitable for urban or rural land, gated communities, or developing lots, always in accordance with regulations.

Regarding prices, he states that a 21 m² Tiny House , ideal as a first home, rental property, or weekend getaway, which includes a bathroom, kitchenette, and integrated living space, starts at US$40,000 . Another, measuring 42 m² , with one bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, starts at US$80,000 ; finally, a compact two-bedroom house of 84 m² , designed for family use with the possibility of future modular expansion, starts at US$150,000.
Finally, the leader of Evolutiva summarizes the advantages: “These are houses that have a lower cost, up to 30% less than traditional construction ; the speed stands out , the fixed price to avoid unforeseen events, also the possibility of expanding by modules and, of course, a lower environmental impact and controlled quality.
