Construction PreFab in Switzerland 

Cool video. 👍 Hope you go to Switzerland again some day with your family and show them around. There is MUCH more to see than just some carpenter facilities! Even though they ARE cool... 😉

I come from England but live in Germany. This has given me insight into the two country's building methods. Prefabrication is mostly the same in both countries, however, where Germany wins over is when they build brick by brick. In the UK, all outside walls are brick or stone. Inside supporting walls are also solid. Separating walls e.g. inner bathroom walls are mostly doubled up dry-wall sheets. The ceilings are wooden beam. In Germany, those ceilings are prefabricated, reinforced concrete pieces lifted into place by a crane. This is super as you can't hear anything from upstairs when being downstairs. In America, a lot of your houses are stick-frame with single sheet dry-wall sheeting in the interiors. Let an ironing board fall against a wall and it will probably bang a hole through it. Your designs are wonderful over in The States. I love those wooden or stone exteriors with porches etc. The quality of strength however seems to be far less superior. I also often wondered why such stick-frames are built in the tornado belts of the US.

Subscribed. Saw your tour of the Switzerland building school with NS Builder. Learn as much there in Switzerland and Spread that knowledge here in North America. Climate Change is happening and we need more Green Builds here.

I need to thank Reggli, not only for doing the amazing job, but to invite many constructions youtubers for me to follow... Subscribed :)

Swiss system for apprentices should be replicated too… then you wouldn’t be short of tradespeople. Only top academics go to university, almost everyone else gets an apprenticeship in whatever role they want from building trades, to office work to farming… so much to learn from Swiss (inc low taxes🤐😶😬)

I cannot get my head round the way the USA see skilled trades people like joiners electricians mechanics as less better than people who go through Uni. Here in Scotland and the rest of the UK an apprenticeship is something we hold in high esteem.

Wow it's almost like if you give people security about them and their family's health care, welfare, and pay them a living wage, they don't waste or steal or show up late or make mistakes or make a huge wasteful mess of the job site! Who could have guessed?

OO:65 "…products, some of which we use in our ACTUAL homes." Do they differ from the products that you use in your NOT ACTUAL homes? Just asking, and thanks for the reply. There is some great information here, thanks.

How can I join in helper jobs in this company sir

The Swiss are high speed, I just assume to throw out our ways of construction and default to theirs

All they care about numbers in the office how much they can save n put in there pockets

😅😅cool. But you are 25 years too late. Nothing new in housecondtruction. And btw. Go to Skandinavien. Switzerland is not the top.

carpenters are not lowly.

In the scene where one of the panels are being placed, I count six workers. Another scene, showing a small crane lifting a small panel, there are four cables attached to the panel; each of those connections require a hand-operation to secure the cable (a large vacuum powered lift could be used with but one operator). Trust me: the government in Europe subsidizes their industries regarding labor (the goal is not so much to build houses but to create jobs). Another problem is, the construction you show is not well-designed for changes--and most housing in America is remodeled frequently. There is a place for factory made housing--especially 'parts' of housing, but this is not it. This is government subsidized manufacturing.
