Lucas Carné, co-founder of 011h, highlights how their architectural software transforms the design process by allowing architects to use prefabricated components, streamlining construction significantly. He states, "Our software is our superpower. We use a lot of prefab; that reduces the need for on-site labour." This approach not only accelerates projects but also addresses the pressing housing shortages in Europe. The firm aims to build more dwellings annually, fostering innovation in the construction sector.
The construction tech firm 011h emphasizes the balance between modern technology and traditional building methods. By integrating prefabricated components into the architectural design process, they hope to improve productivity and reduce the reliance on scarce on-site labor. Carné explains, 'Prefabricated construction relies on factory-made parts that are joined on-site. It's far from new, but we make it easier for architects to embrace this approach with our software.'
Reflecting on the current housing crisis exacerbated by the pandemic years, Carné mentions, 'A lack of housing, and a shortage of construction workers has been evident across Europe. Our push to streamline design processes is not just innovation; it’s a necessity to meet the pressing housing demand in Spain and beyond.' 011h's strategy leverages technology to enhance building practices, paving the way for more efficient housing solutions.
