Short answer: use Frame House EU / PrefabHome as a timber-frame factory lead, not as a ready-to-buy small modular model. Before any deposit, ask for Ireland delivery in writing, the exact contracting entity, VAT treatment, transport/offload terms, structural documents, and a finished quote that separates factory kit, installation, foundation, and services.
What the current evidence says
Source route
The legacy frame-house.eu site says it has moved to PrefabHome and is no longer the supported site.
Price signal
Current PrefabHome copy states timber-frame houses from 440 €/m², starting from 80 m². Older Frame House pages show legacy kit examples from €37,524 to €48,872.
Build type
Prefabricated timber-frame / wooden frame-panel construction from Latvia, positioned for low-energy European houses.
Missing for Irish buyers
No 25-60 m² model row is buyer-ready yet, and Ireland delivery needs direct confirmation.
How it compares with stronger buyer-ready records
- Berko Pod Systems is the Irish benchmark in the current data because it has two priced 1-bed records, Ireland/Northern Ireland coverage, and images.
- The compare table is better for immediate 25-60 m² shortlisting because it filters by price, image, evidence grade, Ireland status, and 45 m² fit.
- Container homes Ireland remains a supporting cluster for garden offices, gyms, glamping and annex use cases, not the primary Frame House comparison.
Confirm before deposit
- Ask whether the quote is from Frame House Group SIA, PrefabHome, or another contracting entity.
- Confirm Ireland delivery, offload, site access assumptions, VAT, and whether installation is included.
- Ask for drawings, wall build-up, U-values, structural calculations, warranty route, and who signs off Irish compliance documents.
- Check whether a sub-80 m² option exists, because the current public PrefabHome page starts from 80 m².
Next step
For a fast buyer shortlist, start with priced 25-60 m² models, then use the Frame House provider profile as a factory lead to verify directly.
