Question 6

What is the difference between a modular home and a prefab home in Ireland?

Question 7

Are modular homes energy efficient in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

New Chapter modular homes are designed for A-rated BER performance, with premium insulation, heat pump heating, and airtight construction. Actual BER performance depends on final specification and is confirmed on completion. Actual energy savings depend on usage, specification and the property being compared.

Question 8

Can I put a modular home in my garden in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Planning requirements depend on the proposed use, size, location and circumstances of the property. A permanent modular home used as a dwelling generally requires planning permission. Certain smaller garden structures may qualify for an exemption, subject to all applicable conditions. Customers should obtain site-specific advice from their local authority or planning professional.
