Strong partner for module construction

Appropriate product solutions for sustainable housing construction

Building must get faster in Germany! This applies especially to residential construction. As a lifesaver, the modular construction method comes to the rescue and promises cost and planning certainty. Sun protection expert Warema sees itself as a partner for modular construction and supports its business partners with customized products for modular solutions.

Modular construction - a clarification of the term

"Serial construction" or "element construction method," "module construction" or "modular construction" are terms from an industrially oriented construction method that sees itself as an alternative to the construction tradition still practiced in Germany, in which the house is built on the construction site section by section. The modular construction method combines the principle of pre-assembly within all trades in a production hall with the early planning of construction projects in different elementization phases. This creates building elements such as a facade module with integrated shading and ventilation, walls and ceilings, or even entire room modules. The latter can achieve a degree of prefabrication of up to 80 percent.

The elements that are prefabricated in the factory hall are only assembled on site according to the modular principle. When the cranes stand and the transporters arrive, new living quarters, a school building or a complete office complex are created in a very short time.

What advantages does this construction method offer?

The main argument for the modular construction method is planning and cost certainty. Thanks to network planning, it is possible to determine exact fixed costs and binding construction times. In the digital twin, all relevant construction data are digitally modeled in advance and recorded so precisely even before the construction phase that they can serve as the basis for the digital detailed planning of production. Manufacturing under controlled conditions enables better quality control and ensures compliance with delivery dates. Series production reduces fixed costs and shortens construction time on site by up to 70 percent.

The modern modular construction method has nothing to do with prefabricated buildings that have a reputation for being inferior and monotonous. Today, digitized planning and advanced construction technology enable the highest quality standards and attractive design. Serial prefabrication in prefabricated house construction has already established itself in the detached house sector. Modular construction with prefabricated room modules is becoming increasingly popular in object construction. In housing construction, Germany's federal and state governments have agreed with the 2023 Acceleration Pact to boost the urgently needed construction of affordable housing with type approvals. The housing industry is pursuing a similar goal with its framework agreement (GdW) on modular construction. The energy-efficient renovation of existing residential buildings, such as with precast building envelopes and serial prefabrication, is also of great importance.

Partner for sustainable construction methods

Warema is already represented in numerous modular construction projects with its shading products. As a cooperation partner of companies offering modular solutions for residential construction, Warema is also making a strong statement with its product solutions in favor of sustainable residential construction - as a leading solar shading manufacturer with an active willingness to provide cross-trade solutions.

Warema's WMS wireless control system enables quick and easy integration into the construction process: Work can be carried out from outside, so there is no need to enter the flats. Connection lines can be installed on the old existing facade and are located in the insulation level after the facade elements are installed. Source: Warema

Whether for shaft, pre-construction or surface-mounted systems, all of Warema's shading solutions can be perfectly matched to the manufacturing processes and wall construction of its modular construction partners. Warema's WMS wireless system enables wireless installations. In the serial renovation of five apartment buildings in Mönchengladbach-Hardt according to the Energiesprong principle, for example, 100 front-mounted and surface-mounted roller shutters from Warema were integrated into the façade modules together with the WMS wireless system in the factory hall and could be assembled directly by modular construction partner ecoworks. During the production of their 409 room modules for the new Maienweg residential park project in Hamburg-Alsterberg, modular construction partner Max Bögl was able to take advantage of Warema's expertise and install 468 V4 surface-mounted roller shutters in the windows during prefabrication. The Delta drainage profile developed by Gutmann is a cross-disciplinary and economical solution that links the fields of shading, window and window sill and closes off the so-called compartment gap over the entire surface and process safely.

As the largest manufacturer of blinds, Warema offers its modular construction partners not only its extensive expertise and its innovative and broad product portfolio for joint modular construction solutions. With a high production capacity and an excellent service network, Warema is also a strong and efficient partner for modular construction - from the planning to the after-sales phase.
