Key Challenges

  • Adaptation to a new construction model
    Installing 120 ready-made bathrooms across 18 floors required precise coordination among various teams, from manufacturing to installation.
  • Logistics and on-site integration
    Coordinating the delivery and placement of pre-fabricated modules in a space-constrained environment was a challenge, demanding efficient logistics and alignment with the overall project schedule.

Key Achievements

  • Innovation through off-site construction
    The partnership with CMC Modular Constructions and Jota Wall enabled the use of pre-fabricated bathrooms, reducing execution time, material waste, and the number of workers on-site, while also improving quality control.
  • Efficiency and cost savings in execution
    The industrialization of the process not only shortened the overall project timeline but also lowered fixed costs and increased productivity, proving to be an advantageous solution for future projects.

The project earned the prestigious EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification during the design phase, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable practices. Key highlights include:

32% Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy consumption through innovative solutions and advanced technologies.
21% Water Efficiency: Optimized use of water resources, contributing to environmental preservation.
30% Reduction in Embodied Energy in Materials: Careful selection of materials with lower environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.
