In a world that is constantly evolving, the construction industry is looking for ways to become more efficient, sustainable and cost-conscious. This is where modular construction comes into play, an innovative method that has the potential to fundamentally change the way we approach large construction projects.
Speed and efficiency
One of the most impressive examples of the efficiency of modular construction is the "Kita Bassum" project. A complete facility was built from timber frame modules in just five months. This speed is revolutionary and puts traditional construction methods in the shade. By prefabricating the modules in controlled environments, the construction process is not only accelerated, but also protected from the elements, which in turn ensures the quality of the end product.
Nachhaltigkeit als Standard
Sustainability is not a trend, but a necessity. Modular construction with wood, as used in the "Riverhaus Leipzig" project, shows how construction projects can be realized in an environmentally friendly way. As a renewable raw material, wood reduces the CO2 footprint and contributes to a healthier living environment. The ability to dismantle modules and reuse or recycle them makes modular construction a prime example of sustainable building.
Design meets functionality
The "New apartment building at Jäckstraße 2, Bamberg" clearly shows that modular construction is not only fast and environmentally friendly, but also aesthetically pleasing. The wooden façade with green color accents shows that modular construction leaves room for individual design and can blend seamlessly into existing urban landscapes.
Future-proof technology
Der Einsatz von 3D-Planung und BIM (Building Information Modeling) im Modulbau ermöglicht eine bisher unerreichte Präzision und Koordination. Projekte wie „Umbau alte Staatsbank Schwerin zu Tresor Hotel Superior“ profitieren von dieser Technologie durch die effektive Vorab-Kollisionsprüfung und nahtlose Zusammenarbeit aller Gewerke.
The vision for tomorrow
Visionaries like Eduard Schaumlefel have recognized that modular construction is not only an answer to today's challenges in the construction industry, but also provides a solid foundation for the future. With the possibility of realizing large construction projects faster, more cost-effectively and more sustainably, modular construction will undoubtedly play a central role in the development of future construction projects.
We are on the cusp of a new era in construction, and modular construction is the key to unlocking this door. Large-scale projects that used to take years can now be completed in months without compromising on quality or design. The combination of speed, efficiency and sustainability makes modular construction one of the most promising developments in modern architecture.
The spectrum of sustainability considerations in the construction sector is broad and detailed, which makes optimizing the quality of a building or urban district a complex but rewarding task. With this blog, the DGNB aims to make the advantages of sustainable construction methods transparent and to present and scrutinize current topics and trends in the field of sustainable construction. By pooling knowledge and best practices, the DGNB aims to steer the construction industry in a more sustainable and responsible direction to protect and support both current and future generations.
