Order tiny house & modular home catalog 2026 free of charge
A tiny-house or modular-home catalog shows compact, usually factory-finished living concepts and often quotes guide values without a foundation slab and site connection. Because the area is small and the fittings high-quality, the prices per square metre are comparatively high: in 2026 roughly 3,000 to 5,000 euros per square metre ready to move in.
What distinguishes a tiny house from a modular home in the catalog?
Both concepts rely on a high degree of prefabrication in the factory and short construction times, but differ in detail. A tiny house is a very compact dwelling, often up to around 45 square metres, that can be permanently founded or mobile on a trailer. The catalog usually states a complete price for the living unit — without plot and site connection.
A modular home consists of factory-finished room modules that are placed on a foundation by crane and connected to one another. It can be extended, stacked or later relocated, thus covering areas from a single module to a fully-fledged family home. The catalog describes module sizes, basic fittings and often calculates the price on a project basis.
For both: the printed price is a guide value for the delivered unit. Foundation or foundation slab, transport and crane, site connection and building permit are added. Some providers handle the formalities on request — the catalog should clearly state what is included in the guide value and what is provided on site.
| Criterion | Tiny house | Modular home |
|---|---|---|
| Area | Very compact, often up to around 45 m² | Combinable from a single module to a family home |
| Installation | Permanently founded or mobile on a trailer | Placed on a foundation by crane and connected |
| Extendability | Usually intended as a finished unit | Extendable, stackable, relocatable later |
| Price information | Often a complete price for the unit as a guide value | Frequently project-based depending on the number of modules |
Which manufacturers offer tiny-house and modular-home catalogs?
Tiny houses and modular homes are made by specialised providers. The following list names, alphabetically, manufacturers from our provider overview that offer compact or modular living concepts. The enumeration is neutral and does not represent a ranking or rating.
Because concepts and scopes of delivery differ greatly, a direct comparison of several catalogs is especially worthwhile. Check whether the stated guide value covers only the unit or already includes further services such as transport, foundation or permit.

The list is sorted alphabetically and does not rate individual firms. Which provider suits you depends on the concept, scope of delivery, region and budget, not on the position in the list.
What should I look for in a tiny-house or modular-home catalog?
With compact and modular concepts, different items determine the total cost than with a classic prefabricated house. The stated guide value almost always refers only to the delivered unit. So check whether the foundation or foundation slab, transport, crane operation, site connection and building permit are included or are added on site.
Also clarify the legal side: a permanently founded tiny house needs a building permit like any building; a mobile tiny house is subject to different rules. The self-sufficiency fittings — such as a heat pump, photovoltaics or a composting toilet — also affect the price. The following checklist makes the catalogs systematically comparable.
Reviewing a tiny-house and modular-home catalog — checklist
- Scope of delivery: what exactly does the unit's guide value include?
- Foundation: is a foundation slab, point foundation or trailer planned?
- Transport and crane: are delivery and installation included?
- Site connection: electricity, water, sewage and paths on site or included?
- Permit: permanently founded or mobile, and who clarifies the formalities?
- Building services: are a heat pump, ventilation or self-sufficiency options included?
What does a tiny house or modular home cost according to the 2026 catalog?
For tiny houses and modular homes, catalogs usually state a guide value for the delivered unit. As a rough market guide, ready-to-move-in units in 2026 range from around 3,000 to 5,000 euros per square metre. The price per square metre seems high because a complete, high-quality set of fittings sits within a small area.
Because the area is small, even a well-equipped unit results in a manageable total sum — tiny houses often move in the low six-figure range, larger modular homes above that. Decisive for the real purchase sum, however, are the additional items: foundation, transport, crane and site connection. Add these from the individual quote before comparing catalogs.
| Item | Rough order of magnitude | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Unit ready to move in | around 3,000 to 5,000 euros per m² | Guide value usually without foundation slab and site connection |
| Foundation / foundation slab | project-dependent, calculated separately | Point foundation or foundation slab depending on the concept |
| Transport and crane | project-dependent, rising with distance | Ask separately about delivery and installation |
