More efficiency with serial prefabrication
The second pillar of ecobuilding AG is ecoprefab GmbH, under which the two companies prefab nrw GmbH & Co. KG and prefab sax GmbH & Co. KG for our planned precast plants are located.
The serial prefabrication of components, also known as prefabrication, is efficiently linked with Building Information Modeling (BIM). Digital control of the production process allows time and resources to be reduced enormously – an important step towards making construction more ecological, efficient and cost-effective.
In order to reduce CO2 emissions and conserve natural resources, properties need to be built using less energy and materials. The growing shortage of skilled labour is also forcing the industry to become more efficient. At the same time, the shortage of housing requires shorter construction times and lower costs.
We see an important solution to these challenges in linking digital planning with the serial prefabrication of building components. Thanks to digital construction plans, very different components can be produced to the highest quality, so that architectural individuality is retained. The prefabrication of walls and ceilings with a lower thickness and the use of a higher proportion of recycled concrete also saves building materials.
In future, we want to manufacture windows, insulation, empty conduits, balconies, stairs, columns and pillars as well as ceilings and walls in our new prefabrication plants under the EMC 2.0 label, thereby achieving a degree of prefabrication of more than 60 percent. Compared to conventional construction methods, this reduces costs by at least a tenth and halves the construction time. The CO2 savings are also 50 percent.

EMC 2.0
EMC 2.0 stands for the development of a state-of-the-art, innovative platform for the delivery of ready-to-install construction elements for shell and finishing trades. The first EMC 2.0 project under the umbrella of ecobuilding AG is the realization of a precast plant in Nörvenich, North Rhine-Westphalia.
When selecting locations for our prefabrication plants, it is important that they are close to urban centers and metropolitan areas with high levels of construction activity, as well as having good infrastructure and local connections. The plant we are planning in Nörvenich is logistically located at an ideal hub between the Benelux countries and the German metropolitan areas on the Rhine and Ruhr.
The factory design of EMC 2.0 is modular and adaptable to a wide variety of topographies. In order to reach the eastern parts of the country easily, we are considering an additional location in Saxony.
