Too often, pricing is hidden behind rough estimates or conditional offers, making it difficult to plan with confidence. At DutchGreenhouses, we believe that clear numbers form the foundation of trust. That’s why we developed the GrowPro series with transparent, model-based pricing. No vague ranges, no surprise add-ons—just straightforward costs you can rely on. With GrowPro, you know exactly where you stand from the very beginning.
Greenhouse Pricing
Transparency for growth
In agriculture, every building project is a decision about the future. Whether it’s a barn, a poultry house, or a modern greenhouse, knowing what it will truly cost is essential.
How GrowPro Pricing Works
The GrowPro series has been engineered with Dutch precision to serve a wide range of operations. Each model is standardized for predictability, yet adaptable to crops and climates around the world for the next 30 years. Miniumum.

- Basic – At 4.0 m (13 ft) high, the Basic model is compact and cost-effective. It’s a strong entry point for farms where space is limited but reliability is essential. Well-suited for soil-grown crops such as lettuces, strawberries, radishes, or cabbage varieties, it offers controlled conditions without unnecessary complexity. Learn more ›
- Expert – Standing 5.0 m (16.4 ft), the Expert model brings more air volume and climate stability. It enables hydroponic growing with higher yields and tighter crop control. This model balances affordability with advanced capabilities, often proving the best long-term value. Learn more ›
- Plus – At 6.0 m (19.7 ft), the Plus model is designed for scale. With maximum air volume, it supports sensitive crops and large-acreage production. Built with expansion in mind, it’s ideal for those planning ahead for growth and efficiency. Learn more ›
All three follow the same transparent pricing structure, published in both EUR/m² and USD/sq.ft, so comparisons can be made directly across regions.
A clear cost breakdown
Just as with barns or poultry houses, our greenhouse pricing is divided into three straightforward categories:
- Materials – The backbone of the structure: steel framing, glazing or film, shading, ventilation, and all core components. Selected for durability, energy efficiency, and long service life.
- Assembly – On-site construction carried out by experienced teams, ensuring quick build-up and dependable quality.
- Total Estimate – A combined figure, presented per square meter and per square foot, providing a reliable starting point for investment planning.
This clarity makes it simple to forecast project size, compare models, or expand step by step with confidence.
Proven Numbers
The GrowPro pricing models are not born from spreadsheets alone. They are built on projects that already stand across Europe, North America, and far beyond. From mild coastal climates to harsh, sun-baked regions, these greenhouses have been assembled, planted, and put to the test.
So when you see the numbers, you are not looking at abstract estimates—you are seeing the reflection of real installations that are already producing. That history creates confidence: confidence that the structure will perform, that the costs are grounded in reality, and that your own plans will rest on solid foundations.
It is worth noting, however, that these figures focus on the essentials: the greenhouse itself and the installations required to deliver it on site. Tools, equipment, and additional systems such as cooling or lighting are not included. Think of it as the starting point—the framework on which every specific crop and every local requirement can be added. From there, the path forward can be shaped to match your farm, your climate, and your ambitions.

A Tool for Better Planning
Clear pricing is more than a number on a page. It’s a way of turning what once felt uncertain into something solid and workable. Suddenly, the path ahead looks less like guesswork and more like a roadmap.
It becomes easier to see how future harvests might balance with monthly commitments. Expansion no longer feels like a leap into the unknown, but a simple calculation of how much more space—and yield—you want to add. Conversations with family, business partners, or trusted advisors gain clarity, because everyone is looking at the same figures instead of rough estimates.
And when the time comes to move from planning to action, decisions happen faster. What was once a “maybe someday” idea shifts into a plan with weight behind it—concrete, grounded, and ready to grow.
Your Next Step
Of course, every farm is unique. Soil conditions, climate, utilities, and crop selection all influence the final design. That’s why the published pricing is the starting point, not the conclusion.
Your next step is simple: take these transparent numbers and start the conversation. Our team is ready to help you translate them into a tailored plan for your farm, your region, and your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions about Greenhouse Pricing
Transparent pricing often raises new questions. Below you’ll find answers to the most common topics growers and investors ask us about—ranging from cost per acre and per hectare to the breakdown of materials and assembly costs in high-tech glass greenhouses. These FAQs are designed to help you compare models, understand what’s included, and see how our pricing framework applies to your specific project.
A 1-acre glass greenhouse with Dutch technology typically costs between €1.03 million and €2.53 million depending on the model and configuration.
-
Basic (4.0 m): approx. €1,030,000 total, or €247.60/m² (≈ $26.70/ft²).
-
Expert (5.0 m): approx. €1,270,250 total, or €281.53/m² (≈ $26.09/ft²).
-
Plus (6.0 m): larger-scale models start at 2 acres, with proportionally lower €/m².
These totals include both materials and local assembly & concrete, giving a realistic benchmark for investment planning.
One hectare equals 2.47 acres. Based on GrowPro models, a high-tech glass greenhouse typically costs €2.5–€6.2 million per hectare, depending on the height and technology level:
-
Basic (4.0 m): approx. €2.55 million/ha.
-
Expert (5.0 m): approx. €3.1 million/ha.
-
Plus (6.0 m): approx. €2.4–€2.5 million/ha at larger scales.
As projects grow larger, the cost per m² decreases, making multi-hectare projects more efficient.
Material costs (hardware supply) typically represent 60–70% of the total project budget. This includes:
-
Steel structure and aluminum glazing system
-
Glass cladding
-
Rainwater discharge and gutters
-
Heating system (pipe rail, grow pipes, manifolds)
-
Screening installations
-
Irrigation and fertigation system
-
Electrical drives and motors
-
Climate computer
For example, in the Basic 1-acre model, hardware is about €750,000 out of the €1,030,000 total.
Assembly and concrete works typically represent 25–40% of the total project cost, depending on local labor rates and soil conditions. This covers:
-
Foundations, floors, and concrete works
-
Local contractor labor and equipment
-
On-site installation of the greenhouse structure and systems
For example, in the Expert 1-acre model, local assembly and concrete cost approx. €407,800 out of the €1,270,250 total.
Separating material and assembly costs creates transparency and makes it easier to plan projects worldwide:
-
Materials are supplied by DutchGreenhouses as a fixed package of proven systems.
-
Assembly & concrete are usually executed by local contractors, influenced by local wages, regulations, and site preparation needs.
This model ensures you can compare like-for-like costs while adapting to regional realities.
The GrowPro hardware package is comprehensive and includes:
-
Structural steel and aluminum profiles
-
Glass cladding and ventilation systems
-
Rainwater discharge and gutters
-
Heating installations
-
Energy, shading, and blackout screens
-
Irrigation and fertigation equipment
- Hydroponic cultivation system (Expert and Plus series)
-
Electrical motors and wiring
-
Central climate computer and automation
This provides a turnkey base for controlled environment agriculture. Optional systems like LED lighting, cooling, CO₂ enrichment, and fogging can be added depending on crop and climate.
The cost per m² decreases significantly with scale. Smaller greenhouses (¼ acre) can be nearly €395/m², while larger projects (8 acres Plus model) drop below €230/m². This economy of scale comes from spreading fixed costs over a larger surface and more efficient use of labor and logistics.
Yes. While GrowPro models are standardized, final project costs vary based on:
-
Local labor and concrete costs
-
Climate and energy requirements (heating, cooling, lighting)
-
Transport and logistics
-
Permitting and compliance
Our published prices give a reliable baseline, but we tailor each project to your region.
