Revolutionary concrete construction for modern homes

Traditional concrete construction presents challenges that can delay any building project: long construction times due to weather dependency, variations in quality caused by changing site conditions, and on-site formwork casting that is labour-intensive and time-consuming. For anyone dreaming of a solid concrete home, these obstacles often create uncertainty and delay.

SISMO provides the ideal solution with a revolutionary prefabricated system that eliminates these issues. At the heart of the SISMO construction method is a three-dimensional module made from galvanised steel wire lattice.Infill panels are inserted on both sides, transforming the lattice into a closed structure, which is then filled with high-quality concrete. This intelligently engineered system combines the robustness of traditional concrete construction with the speed at which prefabricated elements can be produced and assembled.

The result? A modern home with superior structural performance, built in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods. SISMO prefabricated concrete construction offers mass customisation for building – each project is tailored to your specific requirements, from foundations and basements to floors and roof structures.

Prefab concrete homes - Sismo

Why choose SISMO prefabricated concrete construction?

Discover the five key reasons why SISMO prefabricated concrete forms the perfect foundation for your building project:

  • Faster build time – Production in a controlled factory environment combined with efficient on-site assembly reduces construction time by up to 40% compared to traditional masonry or in-situ concrete. Less time on site means faster completion and fewer delays caused by wind and rain.
  • Superior quality – Prefabricated concrete is produced under controlled conditions, resulting in consistent quality across all structural elements. Excellent airtightness and the absence of thermal bridges ensure optimal thermal mass and energy performance.
  • Great design freedom – From basements to roof structures, the SISMO system suits every type of home. The modules are universally applicable for internal walls, external walls, floors and ceilings. Your architect retains full creative freedom while you benefit from the efficiency of prefabrication.
  • Sustainable construction – The galvanised steel lattice acts as both reinforcement and anchoring, resulting in a structure with exceptional longevity. Concrete has been used as a building material for thousands of years and proves its durability in every climate.
  • Cost-efficient – Reduced material waste through factory optimisation, lower labour costs due to faster assembly, and minimal site delays keep total costs under control. The structural shell of your home is completed more efficiently than with any other construction method.

With SISMO prefabricated concrete construction, you gain the strength of proven building technology without the typical drawbacks. Designed for modern building projects, it delivers results that last for generations.

How does the SISMO construction process work?

Building with SISMO modules follows a clear, streamlined four-step process:

Step 1: Design and dimensions
Each project begins with a thorough analysis of your requirements and the site. SISMO modules are precisely adapted to your specific project needs – whether for a compact modern home or a larger building with offices. The freedom of traditional construction methods is fully maintained, while each element is optimised for prefabricated production.

Step 2: Factory production
In a controlled factory environment, the galvanised steel wire lattice is combined with the selected infill panels. Production under optimal conditions guarantees consistently high quality, independent of weather. Elements for walls, floors and other structural components are manufactured with high precision.

Step 3: Transport and assembly
The prefabricated elements are transported to your site and positioned using cranes. Special connections between modules ensure seamless joints. This phase progresses remarkably quickly – what takes weeks with traditional construction can be completed in days with SISMO.

Step 4: Concrete filling and finishing
The installed modules are filled with high-quality concrete. The steel lattice keeps any additional reinforcement perfectly in place and provides anchoring points for all finishing materials. After curing, your home is watertight and structurally complete, ready for internal finishing and external cladding to your specification.

What makes SISMO prefabricated concrete homes unique?

SISMO stands apart from other prefabricated systems and traditional concrete construction in several ways:

  • More than 40 years of experience – Established in Belgium, SISMO has invested for decades in developing rapid, affordable, durable and environmentally sound building technology. This expertise translates into proven techniques and reliable results.
  • Unique three-dimensional steel lattice system – The galvanised steel wire lattice forms the core of each module. It performs several functions simultaneously: creating the framework for the infill panels, acting as reinforcement for the concrete, and providing anchoring for finishing materials such as plaster or cladding.
  • Versatile infill panels – Panels are adapted to local materials and climate conditions. Whether your walls are load-bearing or non-load-bearing, insulated or not – SISMO provides the right solution for every situation.
  • Multifunctional steel wire mesh – The steel wire serves both as reinforcement for structural strength and as anchoring for internal finishes and external cladding. This eliminates the need for separate systems and significantly simplifies the construction process.
  • Suitable for complete buildings – From foundations and basements to floors, walls and roof structures – the SISMO system offers efficient solutions for all parts of a building. You can realise your entire concrete house using one integrated technology.
