Temporary residential buildings

Create living space quickly and flexibly

The demand for affordable housing is increasing. But the reality is often different: Long construction times, rising construction costs, a shortage of skilled labour and bureaucratic hurdles are delaying projects and exacerbating the housing shortage. Cities and conurbations in particular are lacking urgently needed housing, while pressure on the property markets is growing.

This is where container construction comes in: It offers a flexible, fast and sustainable alternative to traditional construction methods. Prefabricated containers mean that residential buildings can be realised in a short space of time and with high quality and energy efficiency. The ability to reuse or recycle existing containers also makes the construction method particularly environmentally friendly.

FAQ on containerised residential buildings

Temporary residential buildings in container construction consist of prefabricated containers that can be quickly assembled on site and just as easily dismantled or converted again. They serve as a short-term, flexible housing solution, for example for emergency accommodation, transitional homes or temporary living quarters.

Modern room containers offer much more than what many people think of as "container flats". Among other things, they have efficient thermal insulation (in accordance with GEG), heating and, if necessary, air conditioning, sophisticated ventilation concepts for a pleasant indoor climate, sanitary units (shower/WC) for individual or shared use and modern electrical installations and lighting. The fittings can be customised according to requirements and user group - from simple functionality to higher-quality living.

Temporary containerised housing complexes are particularly interesting from an economic point of view because they are quickly available and cost-efficient at the same time. Compared to traditional new builds, many lengthy and expensive construction processes are eliminated. In addition, the room units can be reused elsewhere after initial utilisation, which secures the investment in the long term. Modern container solutions also perform well in terms of operating costs, as they are designed to be energy-efficient and are equipped with durable materials. FAGSI offers flexible models for renting, leasing or purchasing - depending on the budget and project duration.

Yes, FAGSI can take on complete project responsibility as a general contractor on request. This means that we manage all phases of the project - from planning, production and assembly through to technical equipment and commissioning. We also coordinate the dismantling or conversion at the end of the deployment period. This means that our customers have just one central point of contact and benefit from clear processes, fixed schedules and a reliable budget. This ensures maximum relief and planning security, especially for time-critical projects with a public contract or urgent housing requirements.

Housing shortage as a social challenge

The housing shortage in Germany has long since become a structural challenge. Particularly in large cities, university towns and economically dynamic regions, the demand for housing has exceeded the available supply for years. The reasons for this include the backlog in new housing construction, continuing immigration, changing household structures and demographic change. Rising construction costs, a shortage of skilled labour in the construction industry and lengthy planning and approval procedures are also making the rapid expansion of living space even more difficult.

Population groups with low incomes, young people, students, refugees and anyone in need of short-term support are most affected. Local authorities, districts and social organisations are under increasing pressure to provide suitable accommodation quickly in order to avoid social hardship and facilitate integration.

Temporary residential buildings in containerised construction offer a realistic, practical solution that is available at short notice. They make it possible to provide modern, functional and secure living space within a very short space of time - customised to the respective target group and can be implemented at any location. Thanks to the modular design, even larger units can be realised quickly, expanded if necessary or dismantled and used elsewhere.
