Traumbungalow in Berlin

Unique construction project with special requirements

The project was unique in several respects: the shell of the house was completed on site in Berlin within just 48 hours thanks to comprehensive BIM planning and the use of prefabricated wall and ceiling elements. The bungalow in lightweight steel construction was planned completely digitally – a “digital twin” of the building served as the basis for the planning. All installation materials, such as doors and windows, were ordered in advance based on the model, which enabled an extremely precise and efficient construction phase.

Special requirements of the client taken into account

Special requirements of the client, such as improved sound insulation due to the proximity to railroad tracks, a construction method that can be dismantled as far as possible, maximum reduction of the construction time and the avoidance of waste on the construction site, were successfully implemented. By using the modern lightweight steel construction method, it was possible to significantly reduce the construction time and at the same time create a sustainable and healthy indoor climate.

Effective planning and preparation for optimum results

The precise planning with the BIM model enabled smooth collaboration between all the trades involved. “The client was informed about every planning step and therefore had constant insight into the progress. This led to a high degree of transparency and satisfaction. Special challenges were also overcome in terms of customer service: the client was able to make adjustments to the model at short notice and already had a clear idea of what the property would look like before construction began,” says Sebastian Reimann, Managing Director of Expocover.

Use of modern technologies and innovative products

Prefabricated wall and ceiling constructions in lightweight steel construction were used throughout the construction process, which were closed on both sides and in some cases already fitted with windows. BIM planning made it possible to digitally simulate the entire construction in advance, which resulted in considerable time savings and cost reductions.

Expocover and Protektor as ideal partners for this project

Expocover and Protektor proved to be the ideal partners for this construction project. The reasons are obvious:

1. Sustainability: The materials used are quality-tested, harmless to health and promote a healthy indoor climate. A material passport provides additional transparency.
2. Short-term delivery: Thanks to scalable production, the wall elements can be delivered quickly.
3. Multifunctionality: The lightweight, slimline design and non-combustibility enable flexible use, whether for single-family homes, apartment buildings, offices or industrial buildings.
4. Shorter construction time: Prefabricated elements significantly shorten the construction time and enable the building envelope to be closed quickly.
5. Cost savings: BIM planning and series production are more cost-effective than conventional methods.
6. Weather-independent production: Production in factory halls ensures no delays and guarantees better quality assurance and documentation.

Conclusion and outlook

The project impressively demonstrates how the use of modern technologies and innovative construction methods can create high-quality living space in the shortest possible time. Together, Protektor, Expocover and BSU Holding have proven that they are able to meet the demands of the modern construction industry while ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction.

“We are over the moon with the result,” says the client and Managing Director of BSU Holding GmbH, Mike Ortmann. “Everything was perfectly organized, the quality is extremely high and the house offers an extremely pleasant living environment. It only took 55 days from the first day of installing the wall elements to moving in. We would recommend Protektor and Expocover at any time.”
