Vidmantas Kiaulakis, director of Timber House, said that people are currently interested in both modular summer houses and garden houses and saunas.
“Every year, interest in modular homes begins to grow in the spring. People begin to lack space where they can spend time in nature. Most often, residents choose modular houses with an area of 20 to 50 square meters. A 50-square-meter house, depending on the materials and design, costs between 20 and 25 thousand. euros. The price of saunas starts from 5 thousand. euros ”, said the head of the company.
According to him, no building permits are required for small mobile homes.
“However, if it is already a larger house, modular or not, a building permit is required, and it also depends on where a person wants to build it: in the city, town, garden or elsewhere.
The modular house requires water, electricity and sewerage communications. If they are at the planned construction site, just go online. And if they don’t exist, people look for different solutions. For example, electricity is generated by generators. Still, most customers are looking for a place where all the comforts can be entered, ”said V. Kiaulakis.

According to him, people like this type of house more because it does not take time to build.
“It just came to our notice then. Construction takes a month to two. The residents themselves do not need to be involved in the construction process.
And the main reason for its popularity is probably the desire to escape the city. Especially in the summer, people want to have a place where they can spend their weekends, ”explained V. Kiaulakis.
Modular house for personal and commercial use
Mindaugas Andriušis, director of Smodular, said that various types of buyers are interested in modular homes.
“Some clients, returning from abroad, plan to build a house in Lithuania. However, in order to live somewhere immediately, these people build a modular house. Later it becomes a guest house or cabin. Other clients already they have a house, and a modular house becomes a resting place for them.
Other clients are building modular homes for commercial purposes. For example, they provide water entertainment services and want to offer their clients accommodation in modular cabins, ”said M. Andriušis.
A specialist in modular homes notices that interest in these homes grows in the spring and fall.
“Customers usually choose a house with an area of 28 to 30 square meters. They usually have one or two rooms. The price per square meter is 650 euros. So, in total, the house costs around 20 thousand euros. This price includes exterior and interior finishes, foundation and transportation costs would still have to be paid separately.
The electricity, water and sewerage communications should also be at the construction site, “commented M. Andriušis.
According to him, the procedure for building modular houses is quite simple.
“However, you need to pay attention to where you plan to build a modular home. If a person wants to build it in the garden, no permits are required. However, if a resident wants to build a house on the territory of a regional park, a permit is required. The construction of a modular house takes about 2 months ”, said the head of the company.
According to him, people choose this type of house because they are mobile, if necessary, a modular house can be moved to any other place.
Lithuanians choose larger residential houses
Kęstutis Jorudas, House modul Sales Manager, said the company is building modular and wood panel houses.
“It just came to our knowledge then. The modular house is factory built, even installed inside the house, furnished. Then it remains to remove it and place it in the location desired by the customer.
We also make panel houses, they are also made of wood, but they are already built from separate walls. Such a house is assembled and built in the place chosen by the client, not in the factory ”, explained the sales manager.
According to him, wooden houses are becoming more and more popular in general, but stereotypes are also found.
“I still think that it will be a few more years before we get rid of all the stereotypes. Some people still think that a wooden house can be unstable, it can be destroyed by fire.
However, the houses we produce meet all the necessary energy requirements of buildings and are no different from other houses. We produce modular houses for both Lithuanians and Scandinavians. They prefer smaller houses, about 40 square meters. And Lithuanians want larger houses with an area of 80-100 square meters.
In Scandinavia, it is popular to build a smaller one near an already built family home, where parents or children come out to live. Scandinavians want to live next to each other, but at the same time you have separate spaces, ”said K. Jorudas.
According to him, a square meter of modular house costs about 900 euros.
“It is worth mentioning that this amount includes all the decoration of the house, furniture, appliances, bathroom equipment. So a 40 square meter house would cost around 36 thousand. EUR, and 100 square meters – 90 thousand. “Explained the sales manager of the company.
According to him, a modular house can be built in a month.
“But if we have more clients, we have to queue. So the construction of a modular house can take from 1 month to half a year,” said K. Yorudas.
The modular house stands out for its quality
Ignas Grudzinskas, Recon Modul sales manager, said that most modular homes are manufactured and built abroad, not in Lithuania.
“The most popular are houses with an area of 80 to 100 square meters. And people choose them to live permanently, not to rest. I think there is a false impression about modular houses. Many people see small modular houses in the photos and think that they can only be summer houses.
In fact, a modular home can be the same as any other residential home. They are simply manufactured from modules in the factory. This means that the majority – 80 percent. or 90 percent. it is manufactured and built in a factory, not on a construction site, ”said the company’s sales manager.
According to him, the thermal or energetic properties of a modular house are no different from other houses.
“But a modular home is lighter. It is easier to transport and see its quality. It takes a week to build a house.
The price of a modular house ranges between 700 euros and 1,300 euros per square meter. So, a house of 100 square meters can cost from 70 thousand. up to 130 thousand ”, said I. Grudzinskas.
Building permit procedure
In a comment posted to the tv3.lt portal, the State Inspectorate for Territorial Planning and Building explained that building permits are required for properties that are real estate. If a modular home can be moved, you don’t need a building permit.
However, the Building Inspectorate encourages residents not to rush to start the works and to always consult with the Inspection specialists about any problems that arise.
Residents are also invited to complete a questionnaire on the Inspectorate’s website. In this way, they will also know if the desired building requires a building permit or not.
