How do we industrialise architect's projects?
This is how any architectural project can be adapted to the inHAUS modular construction system.
At Casas inHAUS we know that each architectural project is unique and that each architect has his own vision and style. Our flexible system allows us to adapt and optimise the construction while remaining true to the original concept and plans.
Transforming a conventional design into a project optimised for modular construction requires a precise and well-structured technical process. This is where the DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) methodology comes into play, a process that allows us to adapt any architectural design to our modular construction system and solve it. It is a methodology that ‘translates each project into our construction language’, industrialising it into parts or components specified to the maximum detail and described down to the millimetre to make them manufacturable. In this way we achieve better results while being economically efficient, guaranteeing quality and meeting deadlines.
When any architectural firm, private client or investor comes to inHAUS with the aim of industrialising their already designed project, we analyse it, we solve it with our construction system, providing optimisations and adapting to the original design to make it manufacturable with our 3D construction system. We adapt measures and dimensions, preserving the distribution and the original perimeter of the house.
We explain below with examples of real cases manufactured by inHAUS, how we can industrialise your project and build it.

What is DFMA and how is it applied in modular construction?
DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) is a methodology widely used in sectors such as the automotive and aeronautics industries, and at inHAUS we apply it to modular construction to achieve maximum efficiency in the manufacture and assembly of our homes. Dividing the project into components that will be manufactured individually and then assembled on site.
Our construction system EMOHA (Modular Concrete and Steel Structures) is very flexible, which allows us to adapt easily, quickly and preserving the pure essence of each architect’s project or architectural design proposal to industrialised construction.
At inHAUS we advise the architect, from any moment of the process, to be able to adapt any design to the modular system in a faster and more efficient way and even to be able to carry out more efficient and economical projects that acquire the same aesthetics. There is total creative freedom for the architect so that his idea can be executed later, manufacturing the house in an industrialised manner, within the inHAUS Lab building in Valencia.
This technique allows us to:
– Optimising architectural designs to make them viable within a modular system without losing their essence. Thanks to the optimisation we carry out, we can manufacture each house or project in pieces, without changing the original design and being economically and technically viable and more attractive.
– Reduce production times and costs by avoiding unforeseen events in manufacturing and assembly. As every construction detail is developed and maximised in detail in the inHAUS plans, communication with suppliers, factory operators and architects is faster and smoother, with no surprises as we provide a 360º service.
– Improving construction quality thanks to controlled industrialised processes. Building our houses in our factory in Valencia allows us to control the process to the maximum.
– Ensure compliance with regulations and technical requirements without affecting the aesthetics or functionality of the project.

Adapted project inHAUS structural system
*Real architect’s project adapted to our modular system, this single-storey house in Boadilla del monte, Madrid with a total of 459 m² built on the ground floor and 668 m² including the basement, a project carried out in collaboration with the AUNA Architects studio. Professionals from the world of architecture who turned to inHAUS to find solutions to an initially complicated project that required technical solutions and speed.
Step by step we transform an architectural project into an inHAUS modular home.
When an architectural firm or a client presents us with a design, our technical team carries out a detailed process to integrate it into our modular system without altering its original concept, developing all the data engineering necessary to manufacture it.
1. Project analysis
We evaluate the architectural design and its constraints (structure, distribution, materials, installations) to determine its viability within the inHAUS modular system.
2. DFMA review and optimisation
We apply DFMA principles to fine-tune the project and optimise its manufacture in our facilities. At this point, we propose improvements that ensure the efficiency of assembly and the economic attractiveness of the project without compromising the original design.
3. Technical development and structural adaptation
We convert the design into optimised modules, ensuring that the structure and materials meet the required quality and energy efficiency standards, as well as the measurements and technical specifications.
4. Production in the factory
Once the project has been defined, we manufacture the modules in our facilities under exhaustive quality control, guaranteeing precision and reduced execution times.
5. Transport and on-site assembly
The modules are transported to the site and assembled in a matter of days, significantly reducing construction time and contingencies compared to traditional construction.

Industrialising an architect’s project:
speed and efficiency without sacrificing original design
The use of the DFMA methodology in inHAUS Houses allows us to work with architects and studios that want their design to be built under a modular system without losing its essence. Thanks to this technique, any architectural project can be transformed into an inHAUS house with controlled deadlines and costs, without sacrificing design, comfort or construction quality.
If you are an architect and want to know how we can adapt your project to our modular system, contact our technical team and we will accompany you throughout the process. We can help you in any phase you are in (preliminary project, basic project, execution or if you are looking for a construction company).

Frequently asked questions to industrialise a project
There are numerous doubts that arise for clients and architects who consult us day after day to industrialise their project with inHAUS, which is why we resolve below the doubts that arise when building a modular house:
What is the maximum working or design width?
Can pitched roofs be designed?
Is it possible to consider cantilevers on houses?
Can we design curved façades, can we get out of the open angle?
Is it possible to design double heights?
Do inHAUS modular homes have a foundation?
