It is the first question almost everyone asks us. The answer depends on the service, the floor area and the finishes, but there are concrete numbers to start with: each service's reference prices and what our latest projects actually cost.
Reference prices by service
Housing Steel's current starting prices are: Shell (Obra Gris), from US$ 900 per m²; Turnkey Standard Full, from US$ 1,100 per m²; and Turnkey Premium, from US$ 1,400 per m². They apply to projects of 100 m² or more, in Rosario and within 50 km, and vary with the chosen quality and finishes.
What each one includes is detailed item by item in the services table.
What our completed homes cost
To give you a real number, we analyzed the expense records of six turnkey homes we completed between 2023 and 2025 in Funes, Alvear, Pueblo Esther, Fighiera and Piñero. We converted each payment at the official exchange rate on the day it was made.
Result: the final cost was between US$ 900 and US$ 1,300 per m², including design and site management, with semi-covered areas counted at 50%. We do not publish the cost of each house to protect our clients' privacy.
What changes the price
Floor area. Some costs barely change with size (design, slab, kitchen and bathroom installations), so the cost per m² is higher in small homes.
Finishes. Flooring, tiles, windows and doors, cabinetry and fixtures can move the final number a lot. This is the main difference between the services.
Covered terraces, eaves and second stories. Semi-covered areas, stairs and two-level structures add structure and labor.
Extras. Barbecue areas, fences, a pool or sidewalks are quoted separately, except the perimeter sidewalk, which is included in Premium.
What is not included
No service includes Architects' Association fees and stamps or the land. Shell also excludes municipal permits, windows and doors, and interior finishes.
