Building in Cabrils, Passivhaus in the premium hillside Maresme

Why build in Cabrils now

Cabrils is a municipality of close to seven thousand inhabitants located on the inland slope of the Maresme. Its topography of gentle hills, low residential density and proximity to both Mataró and the Barcelona corridor make it one of the most sought-after areas for premium single-family homes in the comarca.

The residential market concentrates on plots that typically range between 800 and 2,000 m², with low-density detached typologies. Proximity to Cabrera de Mar and Vilassar de Mar allows village character to be combined with quick access to services and Renfe stations. The families who choose Cabrils value plot orientation, open views and acoustic calm.

We have not yet built within Cabrils itself. We have in Premià, Argentona and Llavaneres, less than ten kilometres away, with the same teams that would work here.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work regularly in Cabrils?

We do not yet have a direct case in Cabrils, but we work regularly in the Maresme: K-Llavaneres ten kilometres away, K-Argentona and K-Premià. Our site logistics in the comarca are consolidated and the municipality is perfectly accessible for our team.

What minimum plot does the Town Council require in Cabrils?

It depends on the sub-area. For detached single-family homes usually between 600 and 1,200 m², with sectors reaching 2,000 m². The specific planning record defines the exact parameter applicable to each plot.

How long does a building permit take in Cabrils?

The resolution usually takes between 6 and 14 weeks from the complete submission of the documentation. There may be a deadline extension if sectoral consultations on heritage or landscape are involved, quite common on plots bordering non-developable land.

Can you build Passivhaus on sloping plots?

Yes. Most plots in Cabrils have a slope. The Passivhaus building system is independent of the plot's topography. We adapt the layout, the floor slabs and the enclosures to the terrain, maintaining certifiable energy performance.

What indicative budget should be expected in Cabrils?

The construction cost with PAPIK Group is the same across the whole Maresme; it varies by system, programme and finishes. The main difference between municipalities is the plot value. Use the budget configurator or request a visit to firm up the figures.
