A prefabricated concrete house in Alcalá de Henares, with the project adapted to a 1991 plan and to Torrejón Air Base’s height restrictions.

The studio in Alcalá de Henares

Your prefabricated house in Alcalá de Henares, with an architect on your side

Alcalá is a large city with a highly protected historic centre and newer neighbourhoods around it. A prefabricated concrete house makes sense in the detached-housing areas outside the historic centre, where the plot allows the modules to be brought in and assembled.

We draw up a custom project, obtain the licence and supervise the assembly. If you are comparing manufacturers, we give you a single project so they all quote for the same thing.

Alcalá: the 1991 plan, World Heritage and Torrejón Air Base

Alcalá still uses its 1991 General Plan, whose consolidated rules were published in January 2026. The review started in 1998 and the draft was last put on display in 2020, with no final approval yet.

The University and historic centre have been a World Heritage Site since 1998, and the historic town has been protected as a Site of Cultural Interest since 1968. Inside that area a Special Plan with fifteen protection levels applies, and a prefabricated house fits poorly. Outside the centre, the issue is usually different.

Alcalá heads the list of municipalities affected by Torrejón Air Base’s height restrictions (Royal Decree 120/2019). If your plot is inside them, the building and the crane need approval from the aviation authority before assembly.

Ask on WhatsApp
Can I put a prefabricated house in the historic centre?

It is very difficult. The centre has a Special Protection Plan and works need a heritage report. Outside the historic precinct there is more room.

What are the Torrejón restrictions?

They are height limits around the air base. On affected plots, the house and the crane need prior approval. We check the official maps.

Does Alcalá’s new plan change anything?

Until it is approved, the 1991 plan applies with its consolidated rules. We tell you if your plot is in an area the draft proposes to change.

Will you come to Alcalá to see the plot?

Yes. The first consultation can be online using the land registry data, and then we visit the plot.
