Prefab house builders in Eastern Europe

message from Erik Kolset on 11 May 2004
I am planning to build my house in the Netherlands.

Any good links for companies in Eastern Europe that does this ?

Kind regards

That builds the kits, or builds the house? Eastern Europe? You had better
beware of quality and conforming to local building regulations.

What I am looking for are companies that can produce walls, floors and
roofs, or complete houses.
Talked to a local building company here in the NL, and they told me that all
their wood constructions and window frames etc, would be built in Lithuania.
Transported to Western Europe and put together by local workers.
Foundation, tiles and bricks would be bought / made locally.
Due to the cheap labor costs in Lithuania they would be able to sell me the
house for 10-30 % less than their competitors. The house would be build
according to the local (NL) building regulations
I am wondering if this will be the new trend for the coming years in
Europe?
So if you have any links or experience with any of these eastern European
building companies let me know.
Thanks

The new EU countries will not be cheap for much longer. In the Uk any
external houses tend to be made in Canada. the Germans do a few high
quality homes. The eastern block? I am only aware of raw materials coming
in, not complete house, or sections of houses. If you get some contacts,
post them here.

It soon will as the Uk is embarking a major house building programme.
