FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about KODIMA modular homes – from pricing and planning permission to the technical details of each model.

1. How much does a KODIMA modular home cost?

Prices for all models are listed directly in the KODIMA catalogue – no enquiry form or quote request required. Each home entry includes dimensions, floor plan, features and key technical specifications.
 

The final price depends on the specific model, size and level of finish. You can download the catalogue in the Mobile Homes or Family Homes section.
 

If you have specific requirements or are looking for something not covered in the catalogue, get in touch – we'll be happy to help you find the right model for your situation and budget.

 

2. What kind of plot do I need for a modular home?

To install a modular home, you need a plot for which the building authority will grant permission and to which the home can physically be delivered.
 

The access road does not need to be paved or wide. We regularly work with field and forest tracks – what matters is their width, passability and room for manoeuvring during installation.
 

Before every order, we carry out an inspection of the access route. This way you know in advance whether delivery is feasible and whether any adjustments are needed.
 

 

3. Do I need planning permission for a modular home?

Yes, planning permission is required. This applies to any home connected to electricity, water or sewage that is intended for residential use – including properties with a well or septic tank.
 

Many suppliers argue that a "mobile home" designation or the absence of a permanent foundation removes this requirement. In practice, however, this means the building cannot be approved as a residential or recreational property – something the buyer typically discovers only when trying to legalise it.
 

KODIMA homes are designed as fully compliant residential buildings with valid planning permission. We don't look for workarounds – transparency on this point is our standard.

 

4. Can I visit an existing KODIMA home at a customer's property?

We do not arrange visits to homes owned by existing customers. This is to protect their privacy.
 

Instead, we offer tours of our production facility. You'll see several homes at once, at various stages of production, and get answers to technical questions that a regular homeowner typically can't provide. You can arrange a visit through the contact form on our website.

 

5. How does the approval process for a modular home work?

The KODIMA models are designed as fully compliant structures intended for approval as residential family homes.
 

Following successful approval, you can obtain a house number, register your permanent residence and use the property in the same way as any conventional family home. In some cases, approval as a recreational property is also possible – this depends on the local zoning plan and site-specific conditions.

 

6. Is a modular home a better choice than buying a flat?

At a comparable price, a modular home typically offers more usable space, a private plot, parking, a garden and privacy without shared areas or neighbours through the wall.
 

With a reasonably priced plot, the total investment can come in at the same level as a comparable flat – or below it. This holds true across many European markets, not just major cities.
 

For families looking for long-term housing with their own outdoor space, a modular home is generally the more practical choice.

 

7. What is the difference between a modular home and a container home?

Modular homes and container homes are two distinct technologies – even though the terms are frequently used interchangeably on the market.
 

Container buildings are made from structures originally designed to transport goods, not to serve as living spaces. The result is typically thermal bridges, limited ceiling height and solutions driven by the constraints of the original material.
 

EMIKO by KODIMA is designed from the ground up as a residential building in modular form – with its own structural system, its own static calculations and none of the comfort limitations inherent to container construction. The difference is most apparent during a personal tour of our production facility.

8. How long does a KODIMA modular home last?

With normal use and routine maintenance, KODIMA buildings are built to last over 100 years.
 

The load-bearing structure consists of solid steel, designed and verified through professional structural calculations. These are not mobile homes or temporary structures – they are residential buildings constructed using a modular method, with a lifespan comparable to conventional construction.

9. What heating system do KODIMA modular homes use?

Most KODIMA homes use underfloor heating, which provides even heat distribution throughout the living space without visible radiators.
 

Combined with the elimination of thermal bridges and high-quality insulation, this creates a system with excellent thermal comfort and low running costs. The result is energy-efficient housing suitable for year-round occupancy.

10. How much does delivery of a modular home cost?

Delivery is priced individually based on the destination. Distance, route complexity and local conditions all directly affect the final cost.
 

KODIMA delivers across Europe and has extensive experience transporting modular homes. You'll receive a specific delivery quote once the location and access route have been confirmed.

11. Is the project documentation included in the price?

No, project documentation is handled separately through a KODIMA-appointed architect.
 

After placing your order, you will receive contact details for the architect, who will prepare the complete documentation required for the planning process. The completed project file is then submitted to the relevant building authority.

12. What makes KODIMA technology different?

KODIMA technology was not developed by adapting existing solutions. It is our own structural system, built from scratch and verified through static calculations in professional engineering software.
 

Many of the technical solutions are not immediately visible, but their impact is felt every day: higher thermal comfort, lower running costs and a long building lifespan. This combination is what sets KODIMA homes apart from standard market offerings.

13. What is EMIKO?

EMIKO is a single-module family home with dimensions of up to 13 × 4 metres, designed as a fully compliant structure for permanent residential use.
 

It is the best-selling KODIMA model in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic. EMIKO offers the best balance of price, floor plan and specification level – for families looking for an alternative to a flat or conventional construction.

14. What is MINERVA?

MINERVA is the premium version of the EMIKO model, designed for clients with higher expectations.
 

Compared to the standard EMIKO, it offers a higher level of interior finish: premium furniture solutions, built-in wardrobes, refined transitions between rooms and attention to detail that elevates everyday living. If EMIKO represents a strong standard, MINERVA is its more refined counterpart.

15. What is SOFT HOME?

SOFT HOME is a spacious family home built using modular construction methods, reaching a usable floor area of up to 96 m² depending on configuration.
 

It uses the same technology as EMIKO but offers significantly more living space – for families who want the benefits of modular construction without compromise on size.
