fermacell® fibre gypsum boards for modular construction
Fast. Cost-effective. Sustainable
Industrial modular construction is synonymous with fast, precise and sustainable building. Up to 90% of the construction work is carried out under controlled conditions, regardless of the weather, in the manufacturers’ production facilities. The prefabricated 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 benefits 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: reliable quality, predictable 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 – made from 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 of layout
Hybrid construction: Synergy of materials – combining the strengths of two worlds for maximum efficiency
Why choose fermacell® for modular construction?
The use of fermacell® fibre gypsum boards in modular construction offers specific procedural and technical advantages. Thanks to their technical and structural properties and ease of installation, they facilitate smooth processes during production and assembly. With their versatile applications, 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 with architects and designers right from the preliminary planning stage to identify the most cost-effective system design for every project.

Standardised processes lead to significant cost savings and genuine planning certainty – from design through to installation
Design freedom: No standard boxes
Today, modular construction is synonymous with sophisticated architecture, flexible floor plans and high-quality building materials. The preconception that such buildings are square and monotonous is a thing of the past.
With the right building materials, it is possible to create bespoke interior designs and façades that meet the latest standards – moving away from the ‘square, practical, and safe’ image.

Sustainability and efficiency combined
Modular construction not only enables rapid building processes, but also represents sustainable solutions.
fermacell® fibre gypsum boards 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 BREEAM and LEED.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver certification confirms that fermacell® fibre gypsum boards 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® fibre gypsum boards have been consistently designed to support closed-loop material cycles.
