[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] GS Engineering & Construction announced on the 5th that its subsidiary, Jaigaist, has completed a prefab concept house in Deokpung-dong, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Jaigaist is a 'prefab' specialized company wholly owned by GS Engineering & Construction. It builds wooden modular detached houses and luxury residential complexes using eco-friendly technology.

The concept house built this time is a luxury detached house constructed with a wooden prefab method, with a site area of 262.4㎡, a total floor area of 208.3㎡, and two stories.

By utilizing advanced prefab methods verified in Europe, the panels produced in the factory are precisely joined together, reducing the construction period by up to 30% compared to conventional houses. Additionally, it has significantly improved the design shortcomings and unstable panel joint finishes, which were chronic issues in existing prefab houses.

This concept house received a Grade 1 energy efficiency rating certified by the Korea Productivity Center and was highly evaluated for airtightness, an important indicator determining the stability, noise prevention, and energy efficiency of wooden prefab houses.

Jaigaist plans to release a B2C model for individual detached houses following its B2B model for developing detached housing complexes for specialized housing companies.
