The prefabricated houses market has been around in the country for decades. However, devaluation put this industry aside, and it has mostly been used so far in mining, large sites and industrial buildings, among others. Today, though, prefabrication is gaining strength in the housing sector, responding to the current demand for housing in the short term and sustainability in the long term.

To give you an idea, here are some of the advantages of wood prefabrication that you might find interesting.

 

Technology and Efficiency

The low acceptance of prefabricated houses was due to people's distrust in the quality of the structures, and a poor perception of wood as a raw material. Thanks to technology, progress has been made in the efficient design of these buildings and the low assembly times and elimination of waste has made this an attractive alternative. On the other hand, progress has led to improvements and solutions such as CLT, which have made timber the material of the future.

Sustainability

Wood, which used to be considered a material of the past, today stands out as a sustainable solution for construction in the long term. This is thanks to the development of CLT as a replacement for other raw materials such as concrete and steel, which it equals in structural characteristics, in addition to its capacity to capture CO2, reuse and recycle.

Versatility and Adaptation

One of the qualities of prefabrication is its capacity for adaptation. Because they are dismountable structures, the flexibility of the design to the needs of space, climate, distribution and style of the user facilitates adjustments and remodeling, thereby reducing costs and extending the useful life.

Intelligent Design

Energy efficiency, thermal insulation, space maximization and design flexibility are addressed in the composition of the structures, thanks to innovative construction techniques such as the use of 3D modeling tools and computer numerical control, among others, as mentioned by the Madera21 website.

Market Expansion

Today, the wood prefabrication market is growing, with a view to large-scale housing projects, high-rise buildings and general structural solutions; nourished by the technology that makes prefabrication an efficient and innovative option in multiple formats. This market growth has made CLT available to large suppliers and startups nationwide, with excellent solutions for each particular case.
