What fits on your plot?
Enter the plot size and the ratio.
Before you buy a plot
- Make sure the plot is building land (bouwgrond / terrain à bâtir). Cheap land is often rural land where you cannot build a home.
- Ask the municipality (or your notary) for the planning information on the plot: stedenbouwkundig uittreksel in Flanders, renseignements urbanistiques in Wallonia and Brussels.
- Check the utilities at the plot boundary: water, electricity and sewer. Ask each supplier for a connection quote before you sign.
- Check access. Modular homes arrive by truck in large modules and are set in place by crane: road width, bends, slope and space for the crane all matter.
- Get a soil study before final pricing. The foundations, and their cost, depend on the ground.
- Ask about setbacks, rights of way and flood risk. They limit where the house can go on the plot.
Permits for prefab and modular homes in Belgium
- Belgian law requires an architect for any house that needs a permit, prefab and modular homes included. Self-builders with an architecture or engineering degree can ask the provincial governor for an exemption. Source
- The permit depends on the region: omgevingsvergunning in Flanders (filed online via the Omgevingsloket), permis d’urbanisme in Wallonia and in Brussels. Source
- The plot must be zoned for housing (woongebied / zone d’habitat) in the regional and local plans. Land in agricultural or natural zones is not building land. Source
