fermacell® gypsum fibreboards for modular construction
Fast. Cost-effective. Sustainable
Industrial modular construction stands for fast, precise and sustainable building. Up to 90 per cent of the construction work is carried out under controlled conditions, regardless of the weather, in the manufacturers’ production halls. The prefabricated room modules are then assembled into buildings on site. In addition to timber modules, steel module designs and hybrid construction methods are also used, combining the material advantages of a load-bearing steel structure with timber wall or façade elements.
From modular construction to industrial architecture
Modular construction refers to the customised prefabrication of complete room units, which are produced in series and with high efficiency. Whether residential modules, bathroom units or utility rooms – this construction method is every bit as good as conventional building methods.
For planners, this means: predictable quality, reliable deadlines and a partner who helps to identify the most cost-effective design right from the preliminary planning stage.
Timber modular construction: Sustainable & eco-friendly – renewable raw materials, excellent insulation properties, quick and easy to install
Steel frame construction: Highly durable & flexible – large spans. High load-bearing capacity, maximum freedom in floor plan design
Hybrid construction: Synergy of materials – combining the strengths of two worlds for maximum efficiency
Why use fermacell® in modular construction?
The use of fermacell® gypsum fibreboards in modular construction offers specific procedural and technical advantages. Thanks to their technical and structural properties, as well as their ease of installation, they ensure smooth processes during production and assembly. Their versatility means they can meet a wide range of requirements in modular construction. Most applications in modular construction can be carried out using just one type of board.
We work alongside architects and planners right from the preliminary planning stage and identify the most cost-effective system design for every project.

These products are ideal for Suitable for prefabrication – Rapid implementation of your project to the highest technical standards
Standardised processes lead to massive cost savings and genuine planning certainty – from design through to installation
Design freedom: No standard boxes
Nowadays, modular construction is synonymous with sophisticated architecture, flexible floor plans and high-quality building materials. The preconception of square, monotonous buildings is a thing of the past.
With the right building materials, it is possible to create bespoke interior designs and façades that meet the very latest standards – moving away from the ‘square, practical, good’ image.

Sustainability and efficiency combined
Modular construction not only enables rapid building processes, but also represents sustainable solutions.
fermacell® gypsum fibreboards are manufactured using an environmentally friendly process based exclusively on natural materials, without any added adhesives.
With their Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), they meet key criteria for common building certification schemes such as DGNB, BNB, BREEAM and LEED.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver certification confirms that fermacell® gypsum fibreboards have been consistently developed with closed-loop material cycles in mind.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver certification assesses a product’s focus on material health and recyclability, and confirms that fermacell® gypsum fibreboards have been consistently designed with closed-loop material cycles in mind.
