Updated 1 October 2026. “Fully furnished”, “ready to install” and “move-in ready” are common expressions in prefabricated housing. They sound similar, but they do not mean that the catalogue price includes the complete project or that the home may legally be placed on any plot.
We use two real models from one range to explain the distinction: Nestron Cube One and Cube Two. CasasCápsula has no commercial relationship with the company and has not audited its products. The dimensions, weights, prices and equipment below are manufacturer declarations taken from its official pages on the date above.
Two sizes, with differences beyond floor area
| Model | Declared area | External dimensions | Declared weight | Published starting price* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cube One | 23.59 m² | 7 × 3.37 × 3.1 m | ≈ 5 t | US$59,800 |
| Cube Two | 32.4 m² | 9 × 3.6 × 3 m | ≈ 7 t | US$79,800 |
*Starting prices displayed on the official product pages on 1 October 2026. The manufacturer states that prices vary by configuration and location. These figures are not a quote for delivery and installation in Spain.
Cube One is presented as a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home for one or two occupants. Cube Two enlarges the layout, offers one- or two-bedroom configurations and is marketed by the company for households of three or four. The extra 8.81 m² may provide more storage, circulation and separation between activities, but the unit is also wider, longer and heavier to transport and place.
What the manufacturer says leaves the factory
The product pages describe the units as finished and furnished. Published inclusions cover an insulated structure, windows and doors, power and plumbing preparation, a compact kitchen, bathroom, LED lighting and preparation for climate control.
The FAQ defines the kitchen scope more closely: sink, induction cooktop and range hood are included, while the fridge, microwave, coffee machine, cookware and small appliances are not part of the base price. Solar systems, floor heating, extra furniture and an outdoor platform are separately priced options.
The lesson applies to every brand: “furnished” does not automatically mean “everything included”. Before comparing offers, request a contractual schedule listing the brand, model and quantity of every item, finish, appliance, furniture component and option.
What remains outside the factory price
Nestron explicitly separates the unit price from destination-dependent costs. Its delivery and installation page lists ocean freight, customs, port-to-site transport, crane work, foundations, site preparation, utility connections and permits as locally priced items.
For a project in Spain, the budget may need to include:
- international transport, insurance, port charges and possible customs costs;
- truck routing, special authorisations and final access;
- crane, unloading and lifting equipment;
- geotechnical survey, topographical survey, base or foundations;
- technical design, site supervision, permits, fees and taxes;
- water, drainage, electricity and telecommunications;
- adaptations required for local rules, climate and intended use;
- commissioning, testing, warranties and maintenance.
This is why total cost cannot be calculated by adding a fixed percentage to the catalogue figure. An accessible serviced plot can behave very differently from a sloping site with a narrow entrance and distant utilities.
Does “installed in one day” mean a fast project?
The company says crane placement and utility connection can be completed in one day when the foundation, access, permits and services are already prepared. That qualification is crucial: installation day is not total project duration.
Before the unit arrives, the siting design, planning compatibility, technical documentation, ground works, logistics and utilities must be resolved. A home can leave the factory complete and still require months of preparatory work elsewhere.
Width matters as much as floor area
Cube One is listed at 3.37 metres wide and Cube Two at 3.6 metres. These dimensions exceed the width of an ordinary vehicle, so route planning and transport conditions require specific study. Check turns, narrow streets, trees, overhead cables, slopes, road strength and the space needed to stabilise the crane.
A large plot does not guarantee a simple delivery. The critical point may be kilometres away at a bridge, roundabout or the final access road.
Seven documents to request before reserving
- A dimensioned plan stating usable area, constructed area and external dimensions.
- Specifications for structure, insulation, windows, services and finishes.
- A signed list of everything included and excluded.
- Weight, centre of gravity, lifting points and transport manual.
- Requirements for foundations, drainage, ventilation and utilities.
- Technical documentation applicable to the specific country, use and location.
- A complete budget through to commissioning, with responsibilities and timescales.
Conclusion: “move-in ready” starts at the factory and ends on the plot
Industrialised construction can reduce on-site work and improve process control. It does not remove the land, planning rules, logistics or utility connections. The models discussed leave the factory with a high level of completion according to the brand, but an informed purchase still separates unit, transport, site installation and authorisation.
The right question is not only “How much does the home cost?” but “How much will it cost to have it legally installed, connected and usable on my plot?”
