Geiger Group Pioneers Modular Construction to Address Germany's Housing Shortage

The Geiger Group advances modular construction with indoor prefab modules to tackle Germany's housing and educational facility shortages efficiently.

    Key details

  • • Geiger Group builds prefabricated modules indoors to avoid weather delays.
  • • Modules are for residential buildings, schools, and kindergartens in Baden-Württemberg.
  • • Indoor assembly reduces construction time and overall costs.
  • • Modular construction helps address Germany’s housing and infrastructure demand.

The Geiger Group, based in Oberstdorf, is revolutionizing the German construction sector with its modular building techniques, targeting the critical housing shortage and the high demand for educational and military facilities. In Wangen, Baden-Württemberg, the company manufactures prefabricated wooden modules for residential buildings, kindergartens, and schools inside climate-controlled halls. This indoor assembly protects construction from weather disruptions such as frost, rain, or snow, ensuring consistent progress and quality.

The process involves assembling floors, walls, and ceilings efficiently under optimal conditions. Walls are lifted by cranes to connect them to floors and ceilings, which significantly reduces construction time and costs compared to traditional on-site building methods. This approach allows for scalable solutions to meet Germany's urgent infrastructural needs, especially in the housing and education sectors.

By focusing on modular construction, the Geiger Group aims to capture the large demand for faster, cost-effective building solutions. This method not only accelerates project delivery but also provides high-quality structures due to controlled manufacturing environments. The company’s efforts highlight modular construction as a promising avenue to alleviate Germany’s pressing housing shortage while supporting public infrastructure growth.
