“In contexts of strained housing markets, serial, modular and systemic construction demonstrates that accelerated building processes are compatible with high architectural quality – whilst at the same time standing out from the monotony of historical mass-production methods.” -_{^{Guido Spars}}

Future-oriented construction combines environmental, economic and social sustainability with technological innovation. In the context of serial, modular and systemic construction, this means utilising digitalisation, the circular economy and industrial processes in such a way as to create durable, adaptable and socially responsible buildings.

Current research is investigating how these principles can be effectively implemented under different global conditions.

This article contextualises serial, modular and systemic construction methods within the framework of current challenges facing housing construction and examines key framework conditions, potential and obstacles. In particular, it discusses the role of the round table and the contribution these construction methods make to speeding up the building process and ensuring quality.

The special issue S7, ‘BKI Object Data’, provides a robust data foundation for the evaluation of construction projects in the context of serial, modular and systemic construction methods.
It is available at the Chair of Economics of Planning and Construction and can be viewed by arrangement.
