As Panama’s real estate market evolves, so does the way homes are built. With increasing demand for faster, more resilient, and climate-adapted housing—especially in coastal and mountainous regions—prefabricated homes and sandwich panel construction are emerging as the top solution for modern living.
At ChiQ World, we offer advanced prebuilt houses through our construction partner Gatun Lake Construction, built using the FRESH Building System, Panama’s most innovative modular building solution.
What Is the FRESH Building System?
FRESH stands for Fast, Resilient, Efficient, Sustainable Housing—a modular building method tailored to Panama’s unique environment. Homes are manufactured off-site using precision techniques, then assembled on your land for a smooth and timely delivery.
FRESH homes use reinforced steel framing, sandwich panel wall systems, and engineered foundations—offering enhanced structural integrity, thermal comfort, and climate durability.
Why Prefabricated Homes Make Sense in Panama
From remote beachfront lots to elevated land in Campana, Panama’s geography requires flexible and adaptable construction methods. The FRESH Building System is specifically designed to handle a wide range of terrains and climates.

Sandwich Panel Homes: Built for Performance
FRESH homes use sandwich panel walls and roofing systems, designed for high strength and energy performance. These panels:

This technology, combined with concrete foundations and corrosion-resistant materials, ensures a long-lasting structure suited for Panama’s tropical climate.
