With over 25 years of experience both domestically and internationally, we have extensive expertise in the design and construction of prefabricated building systems.
Although there are many names for it, the core principle is moving the construction process into factory halls.
This is a revolution for the traditionally conservative construction industry. Often met with skepticism from conventional construction companies, prefabrication shifts work away from local job sites, introducing a new and different competitive dynamic to traditional building methods.
By producing in factory halls, the construction process is protected from weather conditions, preventing moisture issues during assembly and ensuring a healthy indoor climate.
Modular construction enables frequent quality checks, as architects and engineers work closely with the production process. This minimizes errors.
In traditional construction, architects and engineers are not necessarily present on-site daily, making quality control and supervision more challenging -especially for large-scale homebuilders operating across wide geographic areas.
Ladegaard Architecture collaborates with both Danish and international manufacturers, including partners in the Baltics, where production costs are lower than in Denmark.
Danish-produced prefabricated construction is typically priced similarly to traditional construction due to high factory operation costs.
However, prefabricated construction is often significantly more efficient, leading to an overall lower project cost compared to traditional construction.
Unexpected additional costs are far less frequent in prefab projects. Since everything is planned and priced before construction begins, there are no costly surprises for the client.
We have been working with modular construction in the Baltics for over 10 years and are well acquainted with local conditions and quality standards. In many cases, the technical level in the Baltics exceeds that of Denmark.
Our studio supports projects from concept design to completion. Our team consists of academically trained architects with extensive experience in prefabricated system-based construction.
We handle:
Prefabricated construction includes building components such as wall elements, roof structures, and bathroom pods that are manufactured in a factory but still require on-site assembly.
Window production was one of the first construction phases to be moved into factories, and today, it’s hard to imagine windows being made directly on-site.
Modular construction consists of room-sized modules produced in a factory, often delivered as turnkey solutions. On-site work is minimal, mainly involving the assembly of the modules.
Prefab is an abbreviation of “prefabricated buildings/houses” and originates from the USA. It is identical to modular construction: room-sized modules manufactured in a factory and delivered as turnkey units.
