Construction of brick elements the advantages | Alex Garden

Prefabricated houses are in fashion: according to a study by Interconnection Consulting, in 2016 the market share of prefabricated houses rose above 20% for the first time. A great result for the sector and a visible sign that the construction boom in the real estate sector is far from being at its peak. The success of prefabricated houses is evident: thanks to their intelligent construction they reduce the construction time of the property.

But prefabricated houses also have their disadvantages compared to the method of building a solid house. Solid houses are usually made of brick or concrete, while prefabricated houses have several wooden elements. These parts usually have to be transported long distances from the manufacturing site to the installation site. However, the material used in prefabricated houses can be an advantage for the builder if, for example, he wants to build in a particularly sustainable way. Construction with brick elements combines the advantages of massive and prefabricated houses. But what are they exactly?

Solid house or prefabricated house?

Which type of construction is more attractive: prefabricated or solid house? We have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of both types of construction for you:

prefabricated house

A prefabricated house is a building with a prefabricated base structure. This is first produced to measure and then assembled on site. Thanks to the simple composition, the prefabricated house can be assembled in just a few days. This saves time, money and, most importantly, the builder’s nerves. Furthermore there are fewer problems or complaints during the construction phase because the prefabricated construction has been well thought out in advance. However, we often read that prefabricated buildings in particular have disadvantages in terms of longevity and energy properties. This is attributed to the construction method and materials used.

Solid house

A solid house, on the other hand, is built stone by stone. The proven brick construction method is often used here. A solid house therefore scores points with positive properties in terms of thermal insulation, fire protection and sound insulation. However, a solid home takes much longer to complete than a prefab home and can require several months of construction. Additionally, builders often have to dig deeper into their pockets to have a solid home.

Rötzer brick construction combines the advantages of prefabricated and solid construction

Rötzer combines the popular features of a solid brick house with the faster construction times of a prefabricated house. Thanks to the innovative Rötzer brick element concept, the individual elements for the brick house are prefabricated under ideal conditions in the brick element factory.
