Housing Types and Standardisation
Configurable architectural dwelling modules that achieve economies of scale while enabling exterior architectural variety.
Concrete Deliverables & Engineering Outputs
Every delivery includes fully coordinated CAD/BIM models, verified calculation sheets and quality acceptance records.
Modular Kit-of-Parts (Baukasten) Catalogue
Standardized Structural & MEP Interface Matrix
Cost & Repetition Optimization Framework
Inputs Required from Client & Site
Target demographic, desired dwelling mix (1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed ratios), and budget brackets.
Scope Boundaries & Clear Responsibilities
Defines the prototype catalogue and rules; plot-specific site adaptation is performed per project.
Detailed Methodology & Execution Scope
Map homes and modules separately
A dwelling may use several modules, while one module family may contribute to different dwelling types. The type matrix records usable arrangements, area definitions, bathrooms, kitchens and structural interfaces. This prevents a count of apartments from being mistaken for a count of identical manufactured units.
Control the right variations
Layouts, wet-area positions, façade options and finish levels can be organised within defined limits. Mirrored plans and corner conditions are reviewed for their structural, services and envelope effects rather than treated as cost-free copies. The aim is to make variation deliberate and understandable for designers, purchasers and production teams.
Price development and adaptation clearly
The service identifies original type design, agreed variants, common details and subsequent adaptation work. Repetition may reduce some design effort, but each building still needs its own coordination and local review. A controlled type register allows improvements to be approved and assigned to future batches without losing earlier revision history.
Standard 4-Step Delivery Process
All interfaces between engineering, factory line and on-site assembly follow a verified schedule.
Brief & Zoning
Site zoning, dwelling mix and preliminary budget limits defined.
BIM & Eurocode
Eurocode 3 structural frame and LOD 400 MEP coordination completed.
Module Assembly
Climate-controlled production and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
Crane Lift & Sign-Off
Swift crane installation, weather sealing and turnkey handover.
Frequently Asked Questions about this Service
Does standardization mean all houses look identical?
Not at all. The internal steel chassis and shafts are standardized, while facades, balconies, claddings and roofs are fully customized.
What is the minimum volume to achieve scale savings?
Noticeable savings begin at 10-15 units, with maximum economies of scale reached in developments of 50+ residential modules.
