Green Prefab

2025 was a turning point for construction in Europe.
More structure, more capital, more pressure — and clearer and .
At Green Prefab, we had the opportunity to observe this shift closely, working with real data, companies, and projects across Europe. We’ve learned a lot from this ecosystem, and as we step into #2026, we want to give something back. 🤗
In October 2025, at World of Modular Europe in Madrid, we presented “WINNERS AND LOSERS. Strategic lessons from Europe’s modular frontline”, which received an outstanding reaction.
Today, we’re excited to share with you a sanitized version of that presentation.
Here’s a preview of 8 slides from the full 56-slide deck, packed with sector data and aggregated financial insights on what really works, and what doesn’t.

Comment “interested” and we’ll gladly share it with you.

Post #500 🎉

We celebrate our 500th post at Green Prefab Inspire with a remarkable Italian project where experimentation meets tradition.

House VG by ES-arch enrico scaramellini architetto is a poetic rural renovation in Madesimo, where a new timber structure is inserted within ancient stone walls. A project that speaks of craft, continuity, and invention.

Here’s to the next 500.

From automotive to modular construction!

With ARaymond, a global leader in fastening systems for the automotive sector, we support the transfer of advanced technologies to the modular construction industry.

Last week in Milan, during a private session at EDERA - enabling deep regeneration, we presented these solutions for the first time in Italy to selected companies from the prefab and retrofit sectors.

The interest and feedback were very encouraging — a sign that the building sector is ready for faster, smarter, and more flexible assembly methods.
