Although most of the 26 measures of the licensing simplex will come into force on March 4, some have already been in effect since January 1 of this year, and prefabricated houses are covered by the law, and will now have to comply with the rules that already exist for buildings in general, as set out in the General Regulations for Urban Buildings (RGEU).
Thus,
prefabricated houses, technically known as
modular constructions, are
subject to licensing or prior control, depending on the circumstances of each specific case, as are allotment
projects for new constructions, which now have to
include areas for "public housing, controlled costs or affordable rent".
Modular housing is a popular trend in recent years, and can be much cheaper and quicker to build than traditional constructions, although it will have to comply with the same rules and regulations that already exist for general buildings.
According to the measure, "permanent" constructions that are distinguished by "using modular construction elements or systems, structural or non-structural, partially or totally produced in a factory, previously connected to each other or on site, regardless of their removable or transportable nature" are now included in the simplex of licensing.
