About 4 years on average
According to Statistics Poland (GUS), building a single-family house takes about 4 years on average – from start to occupancy. Some of the work stops in winter.
Walls assembled in about 5 days
We move the build into the factory
We make the walls, floor slabs and roof trusses of your house in our hall in Zduńska Wola, to its own drawings and regardless of the weather. Finished, checked elements arrive on the plot – so the build is shorter and less is left to chance.

The reality of building
Traditional building is a chain of improvisation
Designer, local authority, several crews and suppliers – each is responsible for their own piece, and you hold it all together, usually for the first time in your life. The plan changes along the way, under pressure from time and weather, and building a house becomes a second job.
The price grows along the way
Materials get more expensive along the way, the crew finds work that wasn't in the quote, corrections pile up. You cover the difference from your reserve or with an extra loan.
The build takes your weekends
A Saturday call from the site manager, the plumber didn't show up, the door handles have to be chosen by tomorrow. Your days off belong to the site until you move in.
With MABUDO
Around 4 months on site and around 6 months from contract to keys, not counting paperwork – because the walls are made in the factory while work is under way on the plot.

Prefabrication in short
Prefabrication isn't a compromise – it's a better way to build
The same materials as on a traditional site – concrete, steel, insulation – just with the work organised differently. We make each wall whole in the hall instead of building it up layer by layer. The shorter time doesn't come from skipping steps, but from some of them happening in the factory.
Design first
Every wall has its own digital model. Windows, sockets, underfloor heating pipes and reinforcement are all drawn before production starts.
Production in the factory
In Zduńska Wola we cast walls and floor slabs in moulds, using the concrete class specified in the design. Every element gets a dimensional check before it leaves.
Assembly on the plot
The elements arrive on the plot ready: the walls stand in about 5 days and the roof structure in about 5 more. No bricklaying in the rain and no materials lying on site for weeks.

Which wall for your house
All three have a concrete structure from the same factory. They differ in facade, thickness and interior finish. We decide together which one to choose at the design stage.
MABUDO ECO
A facade layer of structural concrete, insulation on the inside, a timber batten frame and a plasterboard finish. A lighter wall with easy routing of installations – at 36.25 cm it holds up to 23 cm of insulation.
- C30/37 concrete – 10 cm load-bearing layer
- Facade with a classic render texture
- Insulation – graphite EPS 031 polystyrene – up to 23 cm
- U = 0.147 W/m²K as standard
- Interior finish: plasterboard + 0.2 mm PE film
Very good thermal insulation, easy routing of installations, a finished facade surface
MABUDO’s flagship technology for single-family housesMABUDO ROBUST
Concrete on both sides, insulation in the middle. The outer layer is a finished concrete facade – smooth or with a texture pressed in the mould. A premium solution now available for catalogue houses.
- C30/37 concrete – 14 cm load-bearing layer + 5–8 cm facade
- Smooth facade or one with a texture pressed in the mould
- Insulation – graphite EPS 031 polystyrene or PIR 022 – 13–18 cm
- U = 0.14–0.23 W/m²K
- Interior finish: plaster or exposed concrete
High durability, very good acoustics, a solid structure and a finished concrete facade
A premium solution inspired by multi-family constructionMABUDO CLASSIC
A classic concrete wall with external insulation and a thin-coat external render. A lighter and thinner wall that keeps its thermal performance.
- C30/37 concrete – 14 cm load-bearing layer
- Thin-coat render instead of facade concrete
- Insulation – graphite EPS 031 polystyrene – 18 cm
- U = 0.16 W/m²K
- Interior finish: plaster or exposed concrete
A simple layer build-up, a slim wall and good thermal performance
Technology for single-family houses with a classic layer build-upConstruction technologies · comparison
Precast reinforced concrete versus the rest of the market
The MABUDO wall next to timber frame, expanded clay concrete and modular technology. We compare five features that decide how the house feels to live in and what it costs to run.
| Feature | MABUDO · reinforced concrete | Timber frame | Expanded clay concrete | Modular technology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Durability | Very high, typically several decades | Strongly dependent on protection against moisture and pests and on build quality | High – the material resists moisture, mould and biological corrosion | Depends on the system and the quality of prefabrication |
| Thermal bridges | Kept to a minimum thanks to a well-designed layer build-up and technology | Moderate – occur mainly at timber studs and joints | Depend on joint details and technical solutions | Usually small thanks to repeatable factory details, but dependent on module joints |
| Acoustics | Very good – the large mass of the structure dampens sound effectively | Average – requires a suitable layer build-up, mineral wool and boards | Good – relatively high mass and a porous structure | Average, depends on wall construction and the quality of joints between modules |
| Heating cost | Low – U = 0.147 W/m²K as standard for the ECO wall, and high thermal mass stabilises the temperature | Low with well-insulated walls; low thermal inertia – the house heats up and cools down faster | Low; a good combination of insulation and heat storage | Low with a well-built, airtight system |
| Fire resistance | Very high – non-combustible material | Average – timber is combustible, although suitable cross-sections and protection can provide the required resistance | Very high – non-combustible material | Timber and steel modules require suitable fire protection |

Scope of work
Three packages, one quality
START, PLUS and FINISH are not three levels of quality.
They are three levels of our responsibility. In each one you get the same walls from the same factory – the only difference is the point at which you take over the build.
Open shell with a finished facade
Wall structure with a finished facade, necessary structural elements and roof trusses. You arrange roof covering, windows and the remaining work yourself. It's the cheapest package.
Included:- Architectural and construction design for prefabrication
- Design and preparation for prefabrication
- Wall structure with a finished facade and roof truss from the factory
- Transport of elements and assembly on the plot
- Roof with covering

Closed shell with a finished facade
Roof covering, windows and exterior doors are in place, and the house is closed. Your house can stand as it is, and you can do the interior whenever you want and with whoever you want.
Included:- START scope
- Roof covering, gutters and flashings
- Roof soffit
- Windows and exterior doors
- Electrical / sanitary / plumbing installations

- Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and a heat pump
- Interior plaster and screeds
- Interior finishing (floors, painting)
- Sanitary fixtures and interior doors
- Furniture and furnishings
Prefabricated foundationAvailable with every package, but quoted separately because we match it to your plot and ground conditions.

We match the heat source to the house and plot
In FINISH we usually design heating around a heat pump, heat recovery ventilation and underfloor heating. If you have gas, plan another source or the plot calls for it, we settle that during adaptation and adjust the services.
Heat pump + heat recovery
The most common setup in our homes: no gas boiler room, with the installation ready to run after handover.
Gas boiler
When there is a gas network by the plot and this option makes technical sense.
Oil boiler
For plots without gas, when the investor chooses an independent heat source.
Pellet boiler
When you want to base heating on biomass and have space to store the fuel.
Your route to developer standard
Six documents stand between you and signing the contract
Before we sign the contract, we need six documents about the plot. Gathering them is on your side – the sooner you start, the sooner production begins.
