KIEV (Reuters) - Business is thriving for a company manufacturing portable houses in Ukraine as people cooped up in tower blocks under lockdown yearn to live closer to nature.
Unitfab, which launched in November, makes a basic house for $55,000 (44,708.2 pounds) in three months. At around 70 square metres, it is bigger and cheaper than the average apartment, although land, fittings and optional extra floors would add to the price.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
