Searching for a “modular home” in Guadeloupe is a legitimate question. The answer is exactly what's missing. Every result is selling something. None explain how to tell two products apart when they share the same name. The term describes a way of building, never what the product contains or how far it goes. This dossier lays out five verifiable criteria for comparing what sits behind the word. On each one, what a Home Kit Home habitat answers.

Modular homes in Guadeloupe: five criteria to know what you are being sold.
I · Original purpose What the product was built for before it became a home
“Modular home” describes a method of manufacturing: most of the structure is built somewhere other than the plot, then shipped there. The same term covers both site equipment (offices, sanitary blocks, cabins) and homes meant to be lived in year-round; catalogues often list them side by side, with no distinction made.
This category is usually presented first through the savings it promises, which says nothing about its original purpose. The question worth asking first: was this product designed as a home from the outset? That's the case for the Home Kit Home range, see the habitats page.
II · The material What the structure and cladding are made of
At Home Kit Home, the structure is galvanised steel, and the cladding is always aluminium, in vertical slats or panels finished with fluorocarbon paint. Four finishes are available: two in aluminium louvre cladding, 50 mm slats with a 15 mm gap, in a brown tone (Zénith, two-pitch roof, and Pinède, flat roof), and two in smooth white panels (Pure, two-pitch roof, and Linéa, flat roof). Design, carried out in Europe, follows a strict specification covering comfort, durability, CE compliance, electrical safety and insulation; manufacturing takes place on partner production lines in Asia, built to Home Kit Home's plans and under direct supervision.
These two criteria — the material and what the delivery actually contains — can be checked on the product itself, before it even leaves the workshop.
III · What arrives Delivered equipped: what the price contains
Joinery, interior fit-out and finishes are all completed in the workshop; the habitat leaves delivered equipped, ready to be lived in once installed. The range presents four models: ESSENCE (20 m²), HORIZON (36 m²), HORIZON T (46 m²) and SIGNATURE (46 m², 180 to 360° glazing, home automation), covered in the current project files.
A displayed price says nothing until you know what it actually includes.
IV · Who's responsible for what The module, the delivery, and what stays with the client
Home Kit Home sells the module and its delivery. The freight forwarder handles sea transit, customs and octroi de mer, transport from the port to the plot, and crane installation. Foundations on pilings, structural fastening, utility connections, permits and administrative steps remain contracted and paid for directly by the client, with local companies. Home Kit Home can present and estimate these costs for guidance, but never contracts or invoices them.
The companies working on site carry their own insurance; Charlemagne Groupe supports the credit side and the construction guarantees — the ten-year warranty of the companies involved, and the client's own damage insurance (dommages-ouvrage).
V · The whole budget A dated range, what it includes and what it doesn't
In Guadeloupe, a Home Kit Home habitat delivered equipped ranges from €68,365 (ESSENCE, 20 m²) to €128,451** (SIGNATURE, 46 m²), price as of 25 July 2026 (see the current rate on the habitats page). This range covers the habitat delivered equipped, its transport to the plot, customs and octroi de mer. What stays with the client are the items contracted directly on the plot: foundations on pilings, utility connections and administrative steps.
** Starting price, all taxes included, for standard delivery. The final amount varies according to site accessibility, transport and installation conditions — costed in the quote.
In the overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana), the overseas tax credit may apply depending on the project and its intended use; you remain 100% owner. Financing runs through Charlemagne Groupe, over a term of up to 15 years (see how financing is prepared). Indicative estimate, to be confirmed with our specialist partner: every case has its own specifics.
These five criteria are no substitute for a quote: talk to Home Kit Home remains the surest way to check, project by project, what a displayed price actually covers.
Frequently asked questions
Does a modular home withstand cyclones in Guadeloupe?
Resistance can't be deduced from the manufacturing method alone: two products built off-site can have nothing in common. It shows up in the product's documentation (specification, CE compliance) and also depends on the ground anchoring, carried out by the companies appointed by the client.
What is the price of a modular home in Guadeloupe?
Two products at the same price can contain very different things. What makes a price comparable is what the delivery actually includes. At Home Kit Home, the habitat delivered equipped is priced by model and territory, excluding items contracted directly by the client (pilings, connections, permits). Current prices are on the habitats page. The final amount varies according to site accessibility, transport and installation conditions: it is costed in the quote.
How long between ordering and moving in?
Six months, sometimes less, from the first conversation to the handover of keys, plus the planning permissions handled by the client. The detailed timeline, from workshop to installation on pilings, is set out in our dossier on construction time in Guadeloupe.
Who installs the habitat on the plot?
Home Kit Home sells the module and its delivery to the plot. Foundations on pilings, structural fastening and connections are carried out by local companies, contracted and paid for directly by the client, which carry their own insurance.
