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.
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.
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.
Construction timelines reduced by up to 50 percent
On-site work minimized, reducing exposure to delays and disruptions
Built for coastal humidity, salt air, seismic activity, and high winds
Elevated platforms and piling foundations for flood-prone or sloped sites
Thermal and acoustic insulation for comfortable interiors
Solar-ready and water collection options are available
FRESH homes use sandwich panel walls and roofing systems, designed for high strength and energy performance. These panels:
Keep homes cooler in hot climates
Block out external noise in highland and beachfront areas
Minimize energy consumption for cooling
This technology, combined with concrete foundations and corrosion-resistant materials, ensures a long-lasting structure suited for Panama’s tropical climate.
Yes. The FRESH system is engineered to meet and exceed Panama’s national building codes. Structural framing, wall panels, and foundations are designed for long-term performance in environments with high humidity, salt exposure, and tropical weather conditions.
Absolutely. The modular nature of FRESH homes makes them ideal for:
Off-grid or jungle lots
Steep or uneven terrain
Areas with limited construction access
Gatun Lake Construction specializes in engineered solutions that allow for smooth implementation even on challenging sites.
