There, complete elements or components of a building are produced &#8211; such as bathroom modules, facades, structures or installations &#8211; which are then transported to and incorporated into the final project site. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach breaks with the logic of traditional construction, where each process is executed on site, often conditioned by climatic factors, labor availability or coordination problems.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>On-site industrialization models<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrialization can be applied at different levels depending on the type of project:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Industrialization by components<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: manufacturing of specific parts such as walls, stairs, electrical or sanitary installations.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Modular systems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: manufacture of complete modules (rooms, kitchens, bathrooms) that are assembled like a Meccano at the final location.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Complete 3D Volumetry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, almost complete dwellings are built in the factory and only require final connection on site.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2><b>Why is interest in this methodology growing?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rise of industrialization is due to several key factors:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The need to reduce lead times in a market that demands speed and efficiency.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a market that demands speed and efficiency.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lack of skilled labor in many countries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in many countries.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pressure to build more sustainably and with less environmental impact.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and with less environmental impact.<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digitization of the sector<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digitalization of the sector, which makes it possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/3dgconsulting.com\/en-us\/services\/bim-modeling\/\">design, plan and execute with greater precision thanks to tools such as BIM (Building Information Modeling).<\/a><\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2><b>Current situation: how is industrialization evolving?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In countries such as <\/span><b>Sweden<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">industrialization already accounts for <\/span><b>more than 90% of residential construction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>The Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have also opted for this model, with figures that are growing steadily.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><b>Spain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">progress is slower, but steady.
