Statements based on an online press conference on 12 June 2026 on the topic of "System Construction: Challenges & Opportunities"
"Serial construction has long been a reality in many areas. Anyone who regularly develops similar buildings automatically standardizes processes, components and procedures – even if it hasn't always been called that until now."
"Policymakers should focus less on short-term measures and instead ensure reliable framework conditions. Planning security over several years would be the most important contribution to more new construction."
"Sustainability must not be reduced to individual key figures. The decisive factor is the long-term view of a building over its entire life cycle."
"The traditional construction industry is increasingly reaching its structural limits. Serial and modular construction are not panaceas, but they are important building blocks for creating new living and usable space faster, more predictably and more economically."
"Systemic construction means much more than prefabrication. It encompasses the entire value chain – from planning, production and logistics to the operation and life cycle of a building."
"If we want to establish serial construction more strongly, we need a paradigm shift: away from improvised individual projects and towards standardized, plannable and sustainable processes."
"System construction and architectural quality are not mutually exclusive. The challenge is to intelligently combine design quality with the possibilities of serial and standardized construction processes."
"Serial and systemic construction methods offer considerable sustainability potential because processes become easier to plan, material use more transparent and qualities easier to verify."
"We should steer more through goals instead of detailed specifications. If the desired quality is demonstrably achieved, innovative construction methods must be given more freedom."
"The greatest potential of serial and modular construction methods lies in significantly shortening construction times and effectively countering the shortage of skilled workers. Especially in residential construction, this potential is far from exhausted."
"Many reservations about serial construction date back to past decades. Today, modern system providers have a high degree of design flexibility and can adapt very well to different locations."
"Type approvals can be an important lever for accelerating approval processes. However, for this to happen, the legal framework must be consistently developed and designed in a practice-oriented manner."
