The housing deficit in Spain, which amounts to 600,000 homes, along with rising costs and a shortage of skilled labor, has driven the need to transform the traditional construction model. In this context, La Casa de Hormigón stands out as an innovative and sustainable alternative. This Spanish company aligns with the PERTE (Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation) promoted by the Government, which seeks to modernize the construction sector.
The Housing PERTE aims to promote industrialized systems that allow for faster delivery of homes while reducing environmental impact and energy costs. La Casa de Hormigón is at the forefront of this new construction model, which has already proven effective in other parts of Europe. Its focus on modular building, using reinforced concrete panels, not only maximizes efficiency but also addresses the structural issues of the sector.
Traditionally, delivery times for home construction range from 10 to 12 months. However, thanks to its system, La Casa de Hormigón offers significant reductions, delivering homes in 5 to 7 months. This method also addresses the labor shortage by allowing construction of high-rise buildings with half the workforce required for conventional building.
Additionally, this construction model helps to raise sustainability standards. The concrete panels feature double acoustic and thermal insulation. Combined with energy solutions such as solar panels and underfloor heating, they provide a comfortable environment, insulated from external noise and with a stable indoor temperature. This results in significant energy bill savings for homeowners.
José Manuel Ruiz, CEO of La Casa de Hormigón, emphasizes the relevance of modular construction today: “It has shifted from being a trend to a necessity. We have been demonstrating for years that we can build faster, with fewer resources and better results.” Ruiz also points out that the PERTE not only legitimizes this path but has the potential to accelerate its adoption across the country, positioning La Casa de Hormigón as a leader in this change.
Since its founding in 2021, with 100% Spanish capital, the company has focused on the construction of fully assembleable industrialized homes. In 2024, it achieved a revenue of 3.5 million euros and generated 70 direct and indirect jobs. Projections for 2025 are even more optimistic, with an 80% increase in revenue and the creation of up to 80 new jobs, as well as the opening of 10 new branches in various locations.
