Why Androulakis

Since 1984, we have been continuously investing in technological research and the restructuring of our infrastructure.
For 41 years, we have been developing and improving our construction systems.
We select the highest-quality materials under strict criteria so that an Androulakis prefabricated home becomes a lifetime investment for you.

Regardless of the project scale, the goal of ANDROULAKIS is to exceed your expectations and bring your vision to life.

Prefabricated houses—single-story, with or without lofts, single-family or two-family homes, maisonettes, as well as extensions to existing structures and the construction of hotel units—are only some of our capabilities.

The structural system that supports the Eco Energy Home & Eco Passive Home technology by Androulakis incorporates the highest-quality construction materials available on the global market:

• Use of ecological Swedish and Scandinavian kiln-dried timber, naturally pest-resistant without chemical treatment.
• Moisture-resistant OSB (class 3), fully waterproofed, with excellent sound- and thermal-insulating properties, providing outstanding mechanical strength and contributing to superior structural stability.
• Fully screwed construction with TORX screws: all wall-frame components are fastened with high-strength TORX screws from Wurth, ensuring exceptional stability of the structural frame.
• Use of ecological natural mineral wool Ecose Ultracoustic Technology by Knauf.
• Graphite Expanded Polystyrene, free of chemical additives, self-extinguishing, non-toxic, with lifetime durability.
• Use of natural gypsum plasterboards by Knauf, following biological certification.
• Use of acrylic thermal plaster, fiber-reinforced, elastomeric, with color integrated into the material.

  • Timber: Swedish & Scandinavian Pine with enhanced moisture-resistant performance & twice the density of spruce, featuring mechanical strength of class C24

  • Extremely durable: with thermal-insulating & seismic-resistant behavior, solid, with high compressive strength, chemically neutralized & certified.
  • Kiln-Dried: The drying of the timber in specialized kilns renders the wood one of the most suitable building materials for prefabricated houses, with strength up to 80% higher than any other type of timber.
  • Planed: meaning it has perfectly flat surfaces, which, combined with factory-grade joinery, achieve absolute alignment & zero gaps in the structural frame.
  • Ecological: Timber imported with natural insect disinfestation without chemical impregnation. The disinfestation is performed in a Vacuum kiln, without chemical additives, as Swedish & Scandinavian Timber is governed by strict regulations.

Our scientific department developed joinery systems designed to reinforce the load-bearing structure & create a fully seismic-resistant construction capable of withstanding high stress loads:

  • Screw-fastened wall technology using TORX screws & bolts from the leading German manufacturer Wurth, which prevent loosening of the joinery over time.
  • We added an additional reinforced zone made of composite laminated timber beams around the perimeter of the wall structure.
  • Reinforced zone at the lintels of openings, using composite laminated timber beams of double the span length.
  • Corner connection plates on the wall structures
  • Special corner connection plates linking the wall structure to the foundation base.
  • Use of special tape for covering the joints of the exterior wall structure.
  • Use of a breathable water-repellent membrane on the exterior side of the wall structure & a vapor barrier on the interior side.

All our wall structures are manufactured entirely within the vertical production unit of our factory.

Process:

  • Cutting of timber
  • Timber assembly
  • Screwing with TORX screws
  • Framing alignment (wall structure)
  • Single-sided shielding with OSB
  • Electrical installation (conduits – boxes)
  • Integration of natural mineral wool thermal insulation
  • Double-sided shielding with OSB
  • Inspection stage
  • Storage for transport

All wall structures are manufactured in accordance with the structural study issued individually for each building, in compliance with urban planning regulations.

Androulakis Prefab Homes is the only company in the sector that undertakes the construction of the foundation base, basement, surrounding area & all types of concrete works with the
ANDROULAKIS GUARANTEE.

What this means for you:

  • You are not burdened with contractor commissions
  • Project responsibility lies exclusively with the company & our supervising engineers.

The structural adequacy guarantee we deliver to you covers the entire project & not just part of it.

Houses with a wooden load-bearing frame exhibit high seismic resistance, which is attributed to the advantages of wood as a material, its high mechanical strength – density relative to its weight, and its elasticity, which allows the absorption of seismic loads at the connections of the frame elements.

Additionally, wood does not retain seismic memory, it withstands consecutive seismic vibrations with varying accelerations (g: 0.5 to 0.9) and in different directions, making the house fully earthquake-resistant.

Androulakis Prefabricated Homes has acquired a state-of-the-art electronic simulation system, which individually tests the seismic resistance of each building.
This study, tailored to the construction specifications of each house, is also provided to the owner in electronic format.

With the necessary provisions in the structural study of the load-bearing system, all constructions allow for extensions both horizontally and vertically.

Upon undertaking the construction of the building project, ANDROULAKIS Prefab Homes, together with its scientific associates (architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, designers), undertakes and provides the following services:

  • Urban planning research of plot building terms and clarification of the New Building Regulation (NBR).

Through this process, we determine precisely the maximum buildable area permitted on the plot, the building placement, its height, and any additional urban planning requirements.

  • Architectural study and alternative proposals, based on the owner’s needs.

Through this process and following consultation with the client, the requirements for spaces and installations are analyzed, along with the architectural aesthetics of the building, the exterior & interior areas of the residence, and any underground spaces. Subsequently, all of the above, in combination with building regulations, are translated into various alternative architectural proposals.

  • Three-dimensional photorealistic visualization of the residence.

Through this process, the residence is rendered in 3D to enable the client to better understand the building’s volume and facades.

We undertake all necessary studies and procedures for the issuance of Building Permits with responsibility & consistency, whether for new construction or additions to existing buildings, etc.
Having the appropriate expertise, technological resources, experience, as well as a reliable, integrated, and extensive in-house design department, we cover a wide range of studies.

Indicatively:
Topographical Studies, Architectural Studies, Structural Studies, Mechanical Engineering Studies, Heating & Cooling Studies, Fire Safety Studies, Natural Gas Studies, Environmental Studies

Project supervision from commencement through to completion

 
 

Concrete houses of high aesthetics & quality, fully seismic-resistant, at the lowest possible cost, due to the vertically integrated production unit and the speed of the ICF system compared to conventional brick construction.

With ICF technology, thanks to the system’s speed and our expertise, we have reduced construction completion time to one-third compared to outdated, vulnerability-prone brick construction.

Therefore, there is a higher cost up to the initial structural frame stage; however, due to speed and vertical integration, we reduce labor costs by 50% compared to brick construction. With the custom-formwork method, we form and cast the building floor by floor, while simultaneously implementing columns, slab, infill walls, and the thermal façade insulation system.

Once the final architectural design of the house is completed, the exact construction budget is defined.

Thanks to the organization and reliability of the company, the schedule for project delivery is established.

ANDROULAKIS Concrete Homes, with impeccable organization, provides immediate solutions and proposals through specialized scientists, dedicated crews, and skilled technicians.

In this way, it achieves maximum utilization of the time required for each project individually, resulting in the company’s exemplary consistency with the residence delivery schedule.

ANDROULAKIS possesses the necessary expertise & experience in the construction of bioclimatic residences.
