WASTE MANAGEMENT

Environmental awareness is an important concept in today’s developing world, which is why BERGER Házak pays special attention to it. During production, we use custom-made building boards and vapour barrier films with great care, thus minimizing the amount of waste generated.

Thanks to our blown insulation, we can produce walls even without any generation of waste. There is no release film on our adhesives, thus reducing the amount of waste generated.

Since most of the materials used are naturally occurring materials such as wood or gypsum, our waste generated can also be recycled. We use natural, eco-friendly materials which are predominantly recyclable, thus the ecological footprint of our buildings is minimal.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

At our plant in Polgár, 13 employees are currently involved in the production process. With this number of staff, we have the opportunity to prepare 80 buildings of 100 m2 annually, which means that we can construct the wall structures and roof elements for our customers from the materials used in 3 days. The total annual capacity of our plant is 300 buildings.

Behind the entire process of production and construction of Berger Házak is a professional and motivated team who always perform the tasks entrusted to them with the utmost attention and precision. We provide ongoing professional training for new and existing colleagues, and invite our suppliers to participate in annual professional training courses.

The production process takes place under controlled factory conditions throughout, so we can produce high-quality structures at our plant. Our independent quality control department is actively involved in inspecting the components completed during production to ensure that they meet our high quality standards and the expectations of our clients. The inspection process begins before the start of production, for the raw materials supplied and to be used.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PREFABRICATED HOUSE TECHNOLOGY?

Be it a house prepared with on-site installation or a prefabricated, large-panel prefabricated house, in Western countries, the majority of family house construction projects are carried out with prefabricated house technology. In the past few years, 40% of family houses in Austria and 60% of family houses in Switzerland have been built with such technology. Not to mention the US, where that value is 90%; although their lightweight construction is by no means to be confused with prefabricated systems. The “winds” of this change have reached us in recent years, too. The reason for this is that we can read more and more comparative analyses also in Hungary regarding light-structured and traditional (brick, frame ceramic, other small-element) construction technologies.

In Hungary, the number of builders opting for prefabricated technology has increased more than fivefold in recent years. On a percentage basis, this represents around 15-20% of family house construction in Hungary.

Changing perspectives: environmental awareness and reduction of the ecological footprint
As a responsible manufacturer, BERGER Házak attaches great importance to green developments, thus continuously reducing the use of building materials with high emissions. Properly constructed of materials with a low ecological footprint, the building creates a durable and healthy home for its residents.
10% more usable floor space
In contrast to a wall thickness of a 30 cm in a prefabricated house, the thickness of a brick masonry with similar heat transfer parameters is at least 45 cm. For a 100 m2 house, this can mean about 8 m2 and an average cost of HUF 5 million. Houses built with lightweight technology allow for more efficient use of space. For owners of smaller plots, this can be an extremely important factor.
Cool in summer and warm in winter
Thanks to their better thermal insulation properties, prefabricated houses with prefabricated technology are thermally superior to their counterparts built with traditional technology.
The costs of heating and cooling are close to 0
Heat loss is low, sustainability is more efficient, resulting in significantly lower cooling and heating costs for such houses. Heating and cooling costs are typically 30-50 percent lower for our standard houses.
Fast, tidy workmanship
Prefabricated houses built with large-panel technology arrive at the construction site almost “ready”, there are no drying or idle times. If properly prepared, well-coordinated work is ensured, the construction of a prefabricated house can be completed in as little as 3 months.
Accuracy, correctness of form
Prefabricated wall, slab and roof panels are manufactured with high precision under factory conditions. The cutting machine begins the machining process by cutting the beams to size, which are always accurate to the millimetre.
Noise and vibration protection
In areas more frequently affected by earthquakes, such as Japan, about 90% of residential family buildings are also frame structure buildings, as they can cope with horizontal displacements much better. In the event of earthquakes, less damage, personal injury and death occur in these buildings.
Fire safety
During the formation of the structural layers, the fire resistance limit value for these structures is very important. Uniquely in Hungary, the wall structure of BERGER Házak Zrt. has a 90-minute fire resistance limit. Facade fire propagation tests also revealed that our houses provide unique security. From 2020, we will be the first to build up to 4-storey condominiums!
Authentic licenses
Our building element sets are certified, and we also have a certificate guaranteeing the quality of our products, so we are one of the few companies that can use the CE mark on their products. Our company has all of the necessary permits to conduct construction work. Our structures have all been tested by ÉMI and have NMÉ test documentation as well as a test covering the European Union, the so-called Also ETA certified.
Stability and mechanical resistance
Prefabricated houses are also sized by engineers who design supporting structures and they substantiate their load-bearing capacity with well-founded calculations. Each of our houses is resistant to any weather conditions typical of our climate.

Permits and certificates

ETA
ETA
European Technical Assessment, which is valid throughout the European Union and forms the basis of the declaration of performance for the construction product used. European Technical Assessment number for the BERGER system: ETA-16/0410
CE JELÖLÉS
CE MARKING
Our company has the right to affix the CE marking, which allows the product to be freely marketed in the European Union. In order to affix the CE marking, the manufacturer must have a certificate of constancy of performance (1415-CPR-82-(C-21/2018) and a plant production control system.
NMÉ
NTA
Nemzeti Műszaki Értékelés, amely az adott építési termékre vonatkozik, amely Magyarország területén érvényes. Teljesítmény nyilatkozat alapját képező dokumentum. Feltétele a teljesítmény állandósági tanúsítvány (20-CPR-284-(C-21/2018) és az üzemi gyártásellenőrzési rendszer.
REI 90 FIRE RESISTENCE
We were the first in Hungary to perform a combustion test on a cellulose insulated wall structure. Thanks to our unique facade fire spread testing, we can build houses up to 4 storeys high with our own structure, and we can build wall structures with a fire resistance limit REI 90.
