Not on a render. Not on a drawing table. In reality. The team could barely wait to walk over and see it. I went too. Even better up close. We assembled 2D panels for the walls, while the house structure itself is built entirely from 3D volumetric elements. The 16-centimeter thermal insulation layer is clearly visible in blue. Underneath, a simulated base slab fitted with waterproofing. The end wall is solid, joints are precise, the gap is minimal — 15 millimeters. We used wooden formwork for now, for speed. The final steel formwork solution is coming. But the point isn’t that it looks good. The point is that this building is already teaching us. Small nuances came to the surface — things that would cost serious money on a live project. The waterproofing overlap, for instance — a few millimeters of bulging can affect how the entire structure behaves. When you manufacture to precision, every single millimeter matters. That’s exactly why we built the prototype before building anyone’s house. 🔧 The rest of the day we worked on our own internal operations. We’re a loose, agile team — we never liked formal rules. But now we’re making so many decisions, and we need to define our processes in such detail to stay efficient, that keeping it all in our heads just doesn’t cut it anymore. We started a new habit: every meeting gets an immediate protocol, which then gets developed into a formal standard. AI is a daily tool in this — not just for me, but for the whole team. Hilti also visited. Not just as a tool supplier — they showed us IT solutions that can support our workflow too. We’ll see where it leads. 📐 The highlight of the day was BuildEXT’s presentation. Csaba Livják and Sándor Nagy’s design firm showed us how they work with BIM day to day. Futuristic. We want that future too — but not to show off. We want real results and real efficiency back from the system. At the end of the day, Gáspár Panghy came by — the founder of Nordii. We reviewed costs, coordinated the next projects, then walked out to the prototype building together. Gáspár rarely says anything positive. Today he said: “Now this is a professional product.” Then he added that half of Europe will come to see what we Hungarians put together. We’re not thinking vertically — we’re not building ten-story towers. We’re going horizontal. Ground floor, one level, two-three stories. High-quality modular prefab where everyone wins. This isn’t a dream. It’s standing in Berente right now. We’ll hold an open day soon, and we’re planning a one-day conference too. Gáspár will be there, sharing the philosophy that hooked me from the start: how to build so that not only the construction is fast, but the maintenance stays affordable too. Tomorrow we continue. Steps forward. #prefab #precast #constructiontech #modularconstruction #BIM #innovation #HungarianEngineering #prototype #concretetechnology #smartbuilding
