When you’re looking for the price of a mobile home, most providers give you just one number—the price of the unit itself. This figure is practically useless for budgeting, as it represents only a portion of the total cost. In this article, we break down all the items, including those we don’t charge for, and show two realistic cost estimates from order to move-in.
The cottage itself costs between 27,000 and 32,940 EUR excluding VAT, depending on the selected amenities and level of customization. The actual total budget—including foundations, utility connections, documentation, and municipal fees—typically ranges from 40,000 to 60,000 EUR.
The range is wide because the biggest variable is not the house itself, but the land. A lot with utility connections already in place along the road is significantly cheaper to develop than a lot that still needs to be connected to infrastructure.
Key rule: The price of the cottage is fixed, and you know it in advance. Land costs are variable and must be verified before you order the cottage.
The base price of our homes ranges from 27,000 to 32,940 EUR, excluding VAT. The price includes a fully finished unit—structure, insulation, windows and doors, interior finishes, electrical wiring, plumbing, and a bathroom.
The final price is primarily influenced by the choice of interior finishes, cladding materials, glass surfaces, and any floor plan modifications. You can find a detailed overview of the design and technical specifications on the "About the House" page.
Manufacturing takes about one month, and shipping by sea takes an additional two months. The cost of transportation depends on the final location and the accessibility of the lot—a narrow access road, steep slopes, or the need for a crane will increase the cost.
This point is overlooked far too often. We recommend that you describe the accessibility of the lot to us when you first inquire, so that we can provide you with a realistic estimate rather than a general one.
The cabin must be built on a suitable foundation. There are two options: pile foundations or a reinforced concrete slab. The choice depends on the soil’s bearing capacity, the slope of the terrain, and whether you plan to make it a permanent structure.
The cost depends on the condition of the site and the scope of the preparatory work. We recommend obtaining at least two quotes from local contractors—there are often significant differences between quotes for this item.
This is the item with the widest range in the entire calculation, as it depends entirely on your parcel.
The municipal fee is a charge paid to the municipality for the use of municipal infrastructure. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account the size of the lot, the net floor area of the building, the available infrastructure, and the intended use of the building.
The amount varies greatly from municipality to municipality—in practice, it ranges from approximately 2,300 to 25,000 EUR, with amounts in urban areas generally being significantly higher than in rural areas. Good news for small properties: since the fee is partially calculated based on floor area, for a unit of about 15 m², the amount falls at the lower end of the range.
You can check the exact amount for your plot of land with the municipality or by using the municipality’s utility fee calculator. It makes sense to do this before purchasing the land, not after.
For a small residential structure, simplified documentation is sufficient, which is significantly less expensive than traditional construction. Include the cost of site information, documentation preparation, and administrative fees in your budget.
We've described the process in detail in the article "Do You Need a Building Permit for a Mobile Home? "—we recommend that you read it before purchasing a plot of land.
The prices listed for the cottage do not include VAT. The standard VAT rate in Slovenia is 22%, but a lower rate may apply to certain types of residential construction. Which rate applies to your specific case depends on the classification of the property and its intended use—we will calculate this precisely for you when preparing a quote.
The examples below illustrate the difference between a favorable and a more challenging scenario. The amounts are approximate and exclude VAT.
| Item | A Favorable Scenario | A More Challenging Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Little House | 27.000 EUR | 32.940 EUR |
| Transport and Installation | based on the offer | based on the offer |
| Foundations | basic point foundations | Reinforced concrete slab on uneven ground |
| Connections | public utility network adjacent to the lot | well and wastewater treatment plant |
| Municipal Fee | rural municipality, lower range | municipality, higher range |
| Documentation | simplified | simplified |
The difference between the two scenarios almost never stems from the cottage itself, but rather from the lot. That is precisely why we recommend that you inspect the lot before placing an order.
By way of comparison: a traditional single-family home in Slovenia requires a significantly higher investment, a longer construction period, and more extensive project documentation. A mobile home does not replace a family home—but it does provide a solution in situations where traditional construction is disproportionate to the need.
No. That is the price of the cottage excluding VAT. The total budget also includes the foundation, utility connections, the municipal fee, and documentation, which depend on your lot.
If you have a lot with utility connections already in place and the appropriate land use designation, the total cost can approach 40,000 EUR. Without utility connections in place, this figure is unattainable.
We’ll discuss financing options when we prepare the offer. It’s important to know that banks treat mobile homes differently than traditional real estate, which affects the type of loan available.
Production takes about one month; delivery takes two. The actual total lead time depends primarily on obtaining permits and preparing the foundation, not on production.
Basic equipment is included, and the scope depends on the selected configuration. We will provide a detailed list of included items with the quote.
If you would like a specific figure for your situation, we need three pieces of information: the location of the parcel, the status of the utility connections, and the intended use. Based on this information, we will prepare a detailed quote that clearly shows what you will pay us and what you will pay third-party contractors.

Note: The amounts listed for foundations, utility connections, and the municipal fee are for reference only and vary significantly between municipalities and individual parcels.
