Concept design - customer adapted design and resource efficient production

Purpose and goal

In a society focusing on growth and sustainability, construction has an important role. The project had a purpose to show a method of housing construction, combining efficient utilization of resources (industrial production) och the end constomer´s demand of individuality (architectual design). The aim of the project was to describe a method where design and efficient production were intertwined.

Results and expected effects

Knowledge of the building system, good market and customer knowledge, efficient decision making between actors and trust in the process, are results of the project. These confirm earlier results of the possibilities of industrial production to create good living environments, but also the need for an integrated process. The term and model concept design indicates the opportunities to obtain an efficient process and end result by increasing integration of actors.

Approach and implementation

The project concerns housing construction and specifically new build. Traditionally, housing construction is a sequential process and with a fair amount of time on the construction site. The conduct of the project has been to study how architectual design can be combined with industrial production in a real life construciton project. The actors involved in th project are realizing a housing construction project within the Housing fair Vallastaden2017 in Linköping.
