In contrast to traditional flats, the focus here is on functional space efficiency.

Why is modular construction particularly suitable for micro-apartments and boarding houses?

Modular construction is ideal for small-scale, repetitive floor plans and this is exactly what characterises micro-apartments and boarding houses. Advantages at a glance:Serial production of identical residential unitsShort construction times thanks to parallel productionConsistently high qualityReduced construction time on siteMinimised noise pollution in the urban environment

How long does it take to build micro-apartments in modular construction?

The construction time depends on the project size, location and approval period.However, our industrial prefabrication means that micro-apartments and boarding houses can be realised much faster than in conventional construction. Typical project process:Planning & approvalParallel module production in the factoryFoundation work on the construction siteAssembly of the modules within a few weeksInterior fit-out & commissioningThe construction time on site is significantly reduced as ready-made room modules are delivered and assembled.

Flexible living concepts

Germany is facing an ongoing housing crisis. There is a major shortage of affordable housing in particular: students are searching in vain for affordable flats in university cities, local authorities have to provide accommodation for refugees at short notice, social organisations are struggling to find sufficient capacity for homeless people and companies need affordable housing for temporary workers. At the same time, construction costs are rising, while legal requirements for energy efficiency, fire protection and sustainability are constantly increasing.

Today, residential accommodation has to perform better than ever before. They need to be available quickly, take into account the different needs of residents, be planned cost-effectively and at the same time provide a permanent, safe and dignified living situation. In addition to conventional forms of construction, prefabricated construction methods are becoming increasingly important as they offer fast and plannable realisation.

A boarding house (also known as a serviced flat house) offers furnished flats for medium-term stays, typically between a few weeks and several months.

Modular construction is ideal for small-scale, repetitive floor plans and this is exactly what characterises micro-apartments and boarding houses.

Advantages at a glance:

Serial production of identical residential units
Short construction times thanks to parallel production
Consistently high quality
Reduced construction time on site
Minimised noise pollution in the urban environment

The construction time depends on the project size, location and approval period.
However, our industrial prefabrication means that micro-apartments and boarding houses can be realised much faster than in conventional construction.

Typical project process:

Planning & approval
Parallel module production in the factory
Foundation work on the construction site
Assembly of the modules within a few weeks
Interior fit-out & commissioning

The construction time on site is significantly reduced as ready-made room modules are delivered and assembled.

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of modular construction is the flexibility in the life cycle:

Adding additional modules
Extension by further building wings
Conversion from boarding house to dormitory or office
Dismantling and reuse of modules

This adaptability significantly increases long-term investment security.

Micro-living as an investment in the future

Modular micro-apartments and boarding houses are a concrete response to the tense situation on the housing market. Rising construction costs, scarce living space in urban centres and a growing demand for temporary forms of living require fast, economical and flexible solutions. Compact, fully equipped flats are becoming increasingly important, especially for students, commuters, skilled workers and project teams.

The modular construction method enables a significantly shorter realisation time, high cost transparency and plannable processes. At the same time, modern modular buildings fulfil high energy and sustainability standards. Whether redensification in city centres, living space on campus areas or boarding house concepts in economic regions, modular micro-apartments create scalable living space that is quickly available and sustainable in the long term.
