The industrial methods of our buidlingfirm

On the picture you can see a minerva of 1930 and a house of Quackels Woningbouw N.V. on the buildingfair Batibouw. The famous Minerva cars were always made by hand. After hundreds of hours of manuel labor and at least a year later these cars rolled out of the factories. 

Until Henry Ford industrialised the production of cars. Now cars roll of the factory lines within 24 hours, better priced and which much higher quality. Why has this evolution still not happened in the building industry? Quackels Woningbouw N.V. is ahead of its time because, over our 70 years of existance, we developed a unique buildingsystem, with the greatest level of accuratie imaginable. That is why we can build highly performant homes, which are build at recordspeeds and at the lowest prices.

thanks to our industrial take on building, you don’t have to make a choice anymore between speed, quality and low prices. We garanty all three. Read on to discover how.

Unmatched speeds

The production of Quackels homes is unique thanks to our industrial way of building. Only four days is needed to produce a whole house.

And still Quackels Builders can offer very high quality. This is thanks to our hyperaccurate mechanical productien. No labor, a lot of technology!

After the production our assembly team, assembles the hous in under three days. Rain, wind, snow,.. are no hinderance for us. Delays due to weatherconditions are non-existant.

No condensation and no moisture

Ever since the middleages there have been little changes to building houses. Until now traditional brickwork is still used in a lot of homes. Until now houses are still built brick by brick, months and months in all kinds of weather and wind. It is a sad sight to see buildingsite become drenched to the bone. And, imagening people having to live in these wet buildings for at least months before the are dry.  

At Quackels Woningbouw N.V the owner does not have to guess if his home is wet or not. We don’t know building moisture.  All our homes are produced dry and remain dry until they are assembled. Even at the buildingsites themselves our materials are not exposed to the rain. A sad contrast with homes that are terrorised by uncontrolable rains for weeks.

The most dangerous form of moisture is also unexistant at Quackels Woningbouw N.V.. Condensation effects almost every build and usually this moisture is noticed way to late. That is why it is so dangerous. In a natural way it is impossible that condensation forms in Quackels constructions. Cold bridges and airtightness are very important factors here. At Quackels Woningbouw N.V. we have no thermal bridges and scoring better on airtightnesstests is virtually impossible.

Unmatached airtightness

We don’t let warm air (cold air in the summer) escape our homes. Not thru cracks, gaps and certainly not thru the outer layer of our homes. Nice warm our seems innocent, but it can become a sneaky destroyer really fast (in the form of condensation).

We are very conscious about this. That is why we don’t give condensation a chance.The proof is our enormous scores on our airtightness tests. Scores up to 60% better than passive homes (n50 = 0,20 vs n50=0.60) are not uncommon.

These are scores of which independent testers say: “At Quackels Woningbouw N.V., warm air doesn’t escape, except thru the keyhole.” Ask for yourself and let yourself be surprised about our scores.  

We our also happy to go deeper into the method how we keep our homes airtight and without thermal bridges. Contact us now for more information.

Low E-values (quality scores in Belgium)

Low E-values are easily attained, when the base is good. A lot of isolation, a huge airtightness and the right materials. 

E-values under 10 are no coincidence at Quackels Builders. And our costumers reap the benefits.

Verified quality.. Through internal and external control

For years we have been striving to deliver better quality than legally obligated. Our firms builds even better than German and Austrian norms, which are much heavier than our own Belgian norms. Year after year we are able to deliver this high level of quality and every year this is verified by German and Austrian state controles. Quality is prioritised at Quackels Woningbouw N.V., it is not a coincidence.
