Fully fundable

Those that are located on urban land can be mortgaged, as long as the approved project is presented and the pertinent municipal licenses are obtained. All this will be facilitated by our associated architectural firm.

Turnkey services

The client will be in charge of executing the previous conditioning of the land, the foundations and connections of the facilities according to instructions and plans provided by our architectural firm, to prepare the location of your home or office.

Also, it will be necessary to transport the containers from our facilities and a crane for their placement after studying the access to the land.

In any location

In urban land with the same procedures as a traditional house, meeting the conditions of habitability and requirements of the CTE (Technical Building Code), with its municipal license and endorsed by the relevant professional associations. On rural land, it will depend on the project. If it maintains its condition of movable* and transportable property, due to the existing legal vacuum, we will take care of consulting with the city council the necessary requirements for its implantation in the land as well as to process the connection with the water, sanitation, electricity, gas, etc.

Our products have the advantage of being considered movable or immovable (the latter in compliance with the applicable regulations) depending on the land where we are going to locate it.
