Modular construction
A comfortable, healthy and future-proof living environment makes dreams come true. The foundation of such an environment is formed during the actual construction process. That is why Daiwa House Modular Europe has chosen sustainable, industrialized modular construction. The innovative answer for modern housing needs.
This method of modular construction is highly sustainable, with minimal impact on the environment or society. It revolves around high quality, circularity and scalability, while ensuring comfort and affordability for future residents.
Complete housing solutions realised in our own production facilities
We manufacture major components of our housing solutions under controlled conditions in our own production facilities. At the project site, we then assemble these components to create our housing solutions. This building method goes beyond prefab construction, which only involves the advance production of individual elements.
With industrialised modular construction, entire residential modules combine to form a single building. For example, sanitary facilities are already pre-installed in our apartments before they leave our production facilities. On location, these are then combined to create an apartment complex.
Circular and detachable
Industrialised modular construction revolves around circular and detachable building. But what is modular construction in practice? It is an approach that offers myriad benefits for people and society, ensuring homes can be reused and repurposed for decades to come. Just like traditional buildings, our modular housing solutions will last for decades. Instead of being demolished at the end of their life cycle, they will be reused for other purposes – often at a different location and with a different structure or design. Daiwa House Modular Europe’s housing solutions are circular and ready for the future, whatever it may hold.
Standardisation, fits well within any streetscape
But there is more. This method allows for the standardisation of the building process. Our housing solutions and the range of available options are fully designed already. Nevertheless, every new project that Daiwa House Modular Europe takes on is unique. Another major advantage of industrialised modular building is the customisability of the outer shell of the residences. We developed a range of styles that form the basis for the exterior of our housing solutions.
This serves as a great example of the tailor-made solutions we at Daiwa House Modular Europe strive to offer. As a result, we can realise our projects faster and with greater quality. Likewise, scaling up is not an issue. The realisation time of our housing solutions is thirty to fifty percent shorter than that of conventional construction methods – regardless of whether a project consists of just a few or several hundred residences.
Greater speed and quality
There are several reasons for the higher speed of realisation. The standardisation allows us to start our work on the project immediately once the building plans have been approved. The on-site activities can be conducted alongside the production of the residential modules.
Automation and robotisation support this process by facilitating higher labour productivity and a greater production speed. That increased productivity allows us to expedite the process at any scale, all while manufacturing every single element with the utmost precision. We can consistently guarantee the highest quality and offer our clients a realistic and feasible schedule. Last but not least, future residents can begin to enjoy their new home that much sooner.
Frequently asked questions
What is modular housing?
Modular housing is a modern construction method where entire housing units, or modules, are produced in controlled factory conditions and then assembled on-site. This process ensures consistent quality, faster delivery times, and sustainable building practices compared to traditional construction.
Why is modular housing considered sustainable?
Modular housing is designed with circularity and reusability in mind. At the end of their lifecycle, modular buildings can be relocated or repurposed instead of being demolished. This reduces waste, minimises environmental impact, and supports a future-proof approach to living.
Is modular housing available in the UK?
Yes. Daiwa House Modular Europe has its headquarters in Swansea, United Kingdom. We are actively involved in delivering modular housing in the UK as well as across Europe, providing sustainable and affordable solutions for various housing needs.
How quickly can modular housing be realised?
Thanks to our industrialised building process, modular housing can be completed 30–50% faster than traditional construction. Modules are produced in our own facilities while site work is carried out simultaneously, which significantly reduces overall project timelines.
Can modular housing be customised?
Absolutely. Although our process is standardised for efficiency, each modular housing project is unique. Exteriors, layouts, and finishes can be customised to match the local streetscape and client requirements, ensuring a tailor-made solution for every project.
