While precast concrete construction is often associated with the 1970s, technology has changed dramatically. Fully automated, state-of-the-art production lines, and laboratories that watch over the quality of the concrete mix, bring the highest quality to the products on offer. Prefabrication has successfully conquered not only the Scandinavian market, where more than 80% of buildings are erected using this technology, but also in Germany it accounts for a huge market share.
P.HOMES belongs to the Pekabex Group - a Polish company with more than 50 years of experience in the market, currently the ninth largest construction company in Poland, which consistently creates its position by being a leader in implementing modern, innovative solutions in the prefabricated construction sector.
We gained our experience by building exquisitely designed houses in the harsh Scandinavian climate, where most residential buildings are made using prefabrication technology, proving that they can be beautiful and unusual buildings with fascinating facades. Now we are doing it in our home country.
Five modern production facilities allow us to quickly and economically carry out investments throughout Poland, and each production process is subject to detailed control. One of the main advantages of prefabricated houses is the short construction time. Thanks to a specialized construction team and the use of proven assembly systems, the load-bearing structure of a house can be built in as little as one day, and this despite the massive elements, which are much heavier and more durable than prefabricated lightweight structures.
Finished, insulated walls are delivered to the construction site, with an average heat transfer coefficient of U=0.16W/(m²*K), and the construction process to developer status takes just 3 months.
High-strength concrete with a density of about 2,500 kg/m³ guarantees not only high acoustic insulation of building partitions, but also high accumulation properties, significantly exceeding the parameters of traditional partitions of similar thickness, and in combination with a massive prefabricated reinforced concrete ceiling, it allows to achieve better acoustic insulation than in the case of lightweight ceilings. This is particularly important in the context of separating the day zone from the night zone, which translates into even greater comfort in the building.

The recuperation system used not only takes care of highly efficient air exchange, but also its quality. Thanks to the recuperator's filter system, and the use of ventilation ducts with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial additives in the form of silver and silica nanoparticles, the air is clean, free from smog and other pollutants.
The combination of modern construction technology, along with other solutions such as underfloor heating, heat pump and recuperation, make the house under construction energy-efficient (on average, for example, Ep=49.67 kWh/m² year), which has a measurable impact on the cost of electricity consumption. An example, the monthly cost of demand for primary non-renewable energy for a 100 sqm building, is about 380 PLN, even without the inclusion of photovoltaic installation.
P.HOMES houses not only meet the current WT2021 standards (max Ep = 70 kWh/m²year), but are one step further, being able to achieve requirements corresponding to NF40 or, with minor modifications, creating a net-zero-energy house.
P.HOMES currently has 11 original house designs, optimized for cost and functionality, which can additionally be personalized according to one's preferences using the configurator available on the website, which allows for several hundred unique combinations of solutions. In addition, on request, each house can be equipped with a Smart Home system.
The innovative P. HOMES house construction technology has the potential to revolutionize the housing market in Poland, offering customers a fast, efficient and durable construction of high-strength concrete in a modern form and designed in accordance with current trends in architecture.
