2012 NTUA Study

4-story construction research at the National Technical University of Athens, about the masonry of “ Prefabricated Houses company”

The study was funded from the GSRT and realized from the NTUA in 2012.

A four-story building constructed using the " – Prefabricated Houses” company construction system was studied from a scientific team which consisted of:

  • Dr. H. Mouzakis, Project Manager NTUA
  • Dr. L. Karapitta, Researcher NTUA
  • Dr. V.K. Ntertimanis, Researcher NTUA

in order to extend the action of prefabricated wooden buildings of company, to multi-story constructions and give further knowledge to the company to improve its competitiveness in the construction industry.

The technical report of the NTUA scientists, among others, says:

Benefits for participants:
Participants will develop new scientific knowledge, Specifically, the company is expected to use the study results, for a modern, highly competitive manufacturing.
Benefits for society:
The final product is expected to be a positive step towards meeting the green design philosophy. The cost of the resulting construction will be highly competitive, affordable and attractive for society, with obvious economic and environmental advantages. Moreover, the proposed construction will help reduce the misperceptions about the wooden prefabricated houses and, since the current market is limited, can lead to an expansion, offering new jobs and increasing competition, for the benefit of the consumer.

This proposal aims to become the first holistic research in Greece, which will study the wooden prefabricated buildings, taking into account the local environmental conditions and the seismic actions.

The results obtained will provide the company all the necessary knowledge and corresponding tools to work further…

The research was funded by the General Secretariat of the Hellenic Republic.
