Through the highest possible prefabrication and the reduction of expenses on the construction site, we can easily save costs and time. In timber construction there is generally a demand for high quality workmanship; with Fixpod this requirement can be met very easily.
High level of prefabrication
It's no secret that you basically have to estimate twice as much for an hour of assembly on the construction site as for an hour of production in the factory. So if we manage to reduce the hours on site (including travel, set-up, expenses, etc.) and increase prefabrication in the factory, you can quickly calculate the potential savings that are possible.
The company Hector Egger Holzbau AG from Langenthal recognized this potential and pre-installed the ceiling elements of a residential complex with 80 residential units completely with Fixpod. During the execution process, it quickly became apparent what great advantages this would bring.
The complete prefabrication of the ceiling elements (installations, insulation, planking including construction sealing) resulted in the following advantages:
- Ceiling elements pre-assembled in the factory without complex inspection openings under ideal conditions
- Increase in execution and processing quality through 100% prefabrication in the factory
- Increased work safety because there are no fingers (hands) between floating components
- Reduction and cost savings in crane hours on the construction site
- Reduction in assembly costs when erecting the buildings
- No additional work required for rework
- no kinked or crushed pipes
- Easy loading of the elements as there are no protruding cables
- Reduction of water damage due to rain
- Waste reduction of pipe and cable lines of up to 50%
Due to these process optimizations through the Fixpod, significant time and therefore cost savings were achieved.
Meets the high quality standards in timber construction
Who is not familiar with the various teaching pipe outlets in the ceiling and wall areas but also in the blind boxes and in the outside area? In reality, the previous outlets are usually not visible visually or structurally.
What added value does the Fixpod offer in this area?
- Increasing the visual quality of the workmanship with a flush finish.
- Outdoors, these can easily be made airtight without the need for laborious masking
- Improving sustainability by avoiding waste
- No empty pipes that are kinked or have disappeared into the element
- Higher level of prefabrication without rework on the construction site
- Easy stacking and loading of elements/modules
We would be happy to provide you with further information on process optimization, cost savings and possible applications at our Fixpod stand 113.I in Hall 8
