Movable, stylish and eco-friendly; prefabricated houses may be an alternative for younger Indonesians looking to own their first home.

With the increasing cost of land and contractors in the country, many Indonesians are seeking out more affordable ways to design and build a home to their liking. For some, these considerations lead to “prefab houses” which are homes made from prefabricated components.

The prefabricated house components may be made out of wood, concrete or metal or composite panels made out of aluminum. The prices vary, depending on the material and the location. For example, a 40 square meter prefab house made out of light-weight brick could cost Rp 90 million (US$6,315). While a 37 sq. m prefab house made out of wood could cost up to Rp 400 million.
