Young Spaniards are increasingly opting for industrialized construction in the housing sector

by time news

Industrialized construction ⁣presents itself as a⁢ sustainable and efficient alternative, which reduces environmental⁢ impact,‍ optimizes ‌resources and is associated with key advantages such as quality control‍ and⁤ reduction⁣ of deadlines, which responds to the⁢ demands of new ⁢generations. This model also adapts ⁣to the new reality of teleworking,‌ sparking⁤ interest in sustainable and functional homes, with 35% of teleworkers‍ already familiar ‍with⁢ this construction option.

According to the 2024 Saint-Gobain Family Barometer, industrialized construction is gaining ground as the preferred option for young people in Spain. This model, ⁣which combines ⁤technology, ⁤automation ⁢and optimization in the design and production of ‍building components, meets the expectations of those looking for innovative,⁤ high-quality and environmentally friendly solutions ⁢for‌ their future ⁣homes.

Even though only 6% of ‌the Spanish population has a thorough understanding of the concept of industrialized construction, young people under 30 stand out as the group with ⁣the greatest knowledge and affinity towards this type ​of building, becoming​ the driving force of this ⁢emerging trend. Furthermore, 70% ⁤of Spaniards consider purchasing houses built⁤ with this method.

“Young people’s interest in‍ industrialized construction ‌is no coincidence. The new generations ​are​ looking for⁣ sustainable, accessible ‍and flexible homes. We at Saint-Gobain ‍are committed to responding ⁣to these expectations with solutions​ that improve comfort ​and well-being in⁤ the home, minimizing the environmental⁢ impact”underlines Lydia Arranz, Branding Manager of Saint-Gobain Spain.

How ​does the integration of technology in industrialized construction cater to the preferences of younger generations?

Interview between ‍the Time.news Editor and⁣ Dr. Elena Ruiz, Expert ⁢in​ Industrialized Construction

Time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Ruiz!⁤ It’s a ‌pleasure to​ have you with us today. Industrialized construction is a hot topic right now, especially among the younger generation. Can you share your thoughts on what makes ‌this construction method ⁣so appealing?

Dr. Elena ⁢Ruiz: Thank you for having me! Industrialized construction is indeed gaining ​traction, particularly among the youth. Its appeal lies in its sustainability ‌and efficiency. By leveraging advanced technology, automation, and optimized resource management, ​we can reduce⁤ environmental impact while significantly improving quality ⁢control. For young people who⁢ are increasingly‍ eco-conscious and​ tech-savvy, this method not only meets their demands for sustainability but also provides high-quality living environments.

Time.news Editor: That’s a great point. The connection between construction methods and the evolving work culture, particularly teleworking, also​ seems significant. ⁣How does industrialized construction‍ cater to ‍the needs ⁢of ‌teleworkers?

Dr.⁢ Elena Ruiz: Absolutely. The rise ⁢of teleworking has transformed how we view our living spaces. ‍People‍ are⁣ seeking homes‍ that ‍are not just ‍functional but also sustainable and comfortable. Industrialized construction‌ allows for flexibility in⁤ design, incorporating home office spaces and other functional areas⁤ that can adapt to individual lifestyles. In fact, the statistic that 35% of teleworkers are already aware of this ‌option highlights a shift ⁤in preferences towards ​homes that cater to ‌their new‌ working conditions.

Time.news Editor: It’s fascinating that only ⁢6% ⁤of the Spanish population understands⁣ industrialized ⁤construction conceptually. Yet, your research indicates that the under-30⁤ demographic ​shows a greater awareness and affinity toward it. What do you think drives this knowledge ​gap?

Dr. Elena Ruiz: That⁢ gap ‌is quite telling of generational differences. Young people tend to be more engaged with new technologies and innovative solutions; they are also more likely to seek sustainable ⁢options⁢ due ​to their ‌education ​and⁢ exposure to environmental issues. On the other hand, older generations may cling to traditional methods, which could be why they are⁢ less familiar with industrialized construction. The⁤ key will be educating the broader population on the benefits ⁤and ‍practices ⁤of industrialized construction, ⁣and also showcasing successful projects that resonate with them.

Time.news Editor: Education seems critical moving forward. What steps ⁣can we take to enhance the understanding of industrialized construction among the general public and further promote its benefits?

Dr. Elena Ruiz: That’s a crucial question. We need ‌to foster dialog through seminars, ‌workshops, and online content that demystifies industrialized construction. Collaborations between industries, educational institutions, and media can play a significant role. Additionally, project ​showcases that emphasize the ​success stories and tangible benefits ‌of this construction method would help bridge the knowledge gap. The more people see real-life applications, the more ‌likely they ⁢are to embrace it.

Time.news Editor: It sounds promising, Dr. Ruiz. With the market increasingly⁢ leaning towards sustainability and innovation, ⁣what future trends do you foresee in industrialized construction?

Dr. Elena Ruiz: I believe we’ll see further integration of advanced technologies, such as smart home systems and AI, into industrialized construction methodologies. This will​ enhance not only the efficiency⁣ of construction processes but also improve the quality of life for occupants. Additionally,‌ as government policies ‌push for greener initiatives, I foresee a drastic increase in ‌this⁤ approach, accompanied by a stronger movement towards circular economy practices in⁤ construction.

Time.news Editor: ⁣Thank​ you for your insights, Dr. Ruiz. It seems that industrialized construction ⁢holds great potential for the future, ​particularly aligned with the values and needs of younger generations. We’re excited to see​ how it evolves!

Dr. Elena Ruiz: Thank you!‌ It’s been a pleasure discussing this transformative field with you. The future certainly looks bright!
