Modular construction
Modular and
serial construction with precast concrete elements
The use of precast concrete elements in prefabricated construction opens up a wide range of possibilities for modular and serial construction. The combination of reinforced concrete is characterised by high load-bearing capacity, excellent sound insulation and fire protection as well as extremely flexible shaping. The robust components can take on almost any desired geometry and shape

Modular construction
In view of the urgent need for 450,000 affordable homes in Germany, we see this not only as an opportunity, but as our obligation to play an active role.
At HEBERGER, we recognise the need to promote the sustainable use of raw materials in the construction industry. Modular construction offers the ideal solution here, as it is not only more efficient, but also more environmentally friendly. Modular construction is particularly convincing in times of inner-city redensification, when building land is in short supply. With flexible geometries and shapes, we can optimally meet the challenges of urban spaces. We are firmly convinced that modular construction is not just a forward-looking decision.
Take a step into the future of construction together with HEBERGER – sustainable, efficient and pioneering.
High-quality production
Our optimised production conditions result in components with precise dimensional accuracy and a surface quality that ranges from flawless exposed concrete to the highest standards.
The production of prefabricated parts offers a wealth of advantages:
- Production is continuous, regardless of the vagaries of the weather.
- Thanks to the optimal conditions, production can be precisely scheduled without disruptive construction site influences.
- Just-in-time delivery to the construction site is made possible.
- Assembly is usually carried out directly from the delivery vehicle, which eliminates the need for storage space on the construction site.
- The high degree of prefabrication ensures short construction and assembly times.
- There are no waiting times until hardening and stripping on the construction site.
- The production of room modules in the factory results in significantly less waste, which can also be better managed.
- The high degree of prefabrication not only shortens the construction time, but also minimises noise and dirt pollution to an absolute minimum.
- They can also be easily dismantled and reused in new locations.
- The individual modules can also be completely dismantled, separated by type and the materials recycled.
Disadvantages of modular construction
Despite the advances in technology and the flexibility that modular construction offers, there are also some disadvantages to consider. One of the challenges is that not every architectural design can be easily realised in modular construction, as the modules are usually cubic in shape. This can make it difficult to realise certain designs.
Size restrictions must also be taken into account, as the modules are dimensioned for transport on lorries. The maximum stacking is usually limited to around 2 full storeys. When room modules are placed next to each other or on top of each other as independent units, this results in a doubling of internal walls or ceiling constructions, which leads to a higher gross floor area without a corresponding gain in living space.
Conventional construction is better able to deal with differences in height on the plot, as the modules have to connect seamlessly. In addition, the construction of larger column-free rooms often requires the combination of modular construction with conventionally constructed components.
The decision between room modules and conventional construction depends on the specific framework conditions and the requirements of the building. Although modular construction offers advantages in terms of time, quality and the environment, the limitations mentioned should be taken into account during planning and realisation.
