Modular construction in Poland is dynamically developing, bringing solutions that gradually change the face of architecture and construction. Thanks to the use of prefabricated modules, buildings can be erected faster, cheaper, and with less impact on the environment.

 

Although the Polish modular construction market is still in the early stages of development, interest in this technology continues to grow steadily. A growing number of investors and contractors are recognising the potential of prefabrication as an efficient method for delivering a wide range of construction projects. The number of large-scale modular and prefabricated projects has seen a noticeable uptick since around 2015.

Below we present examples of modular construction projects already completed or currently underway in Poland. While such developments still represent a small portion of the overall market, their share is expected to increase in the coming years.

Examples of modular construction projects - residential sector

Between 2015 and 2017, Budizol served as both the investor and general contractor for a residential development at Sprzeczna 4 in Warsaw. The project included the construction of 57 apartments using precast reinforced concrete and mass-coloured architectural concrete, clearly visible on the building façade. This development has received several prestigious architectural awards and is recognised as one of the key pioneers of modern concrete prefabrication in Poland’s multi-family housing segment.

Examples of modular construction projects - commercial and public sector

Modular construction is gaining traction not only in the residential segment but also across public utility and commercial building sectors. An increasing number of investors are turning to this solution due to the speed of delivery, precision of workmanship, cost-efficiency, and high build quality.

The rising demand for modular construction (both 2D and 3D) in Poland is being driven by multiple factors. Prefabrication addresses current construction market challenges — including labour shortages and time constraints — while also responding to environmental and sustainability goals. Timber modular technologies, in particular, align with these trends. Technological advancement is enabling increasingly sophisticated modular designs that meet the highest functional and aesthetic standards.

Below are examples of modular construction projects in the public utility and commercial segments, both completed and currently under development.

Summary

In the coming years, we expect a significant increase in the number of non-residential modular projects. This segment is still in the early stages of dynamic development, and each successfully delivered project serves as further promotion for the broader use of modular technologies. According to the Spectis report Modular construction market in Poland, the years 2025-2026 may prove to be a turning point, particularly due to the availability of substantial EU funding under the National Recovery Plan. With the necessity to use these funds within a limited time, modular technology will, in many cases, be the only viable way to complete projects before 2027.

2D prefabrication dominates Poland’s modular construction market

In the Spectis modular construction report, the market is divided into two main types: 2D and 3D (with additional segmentation based on the structural material used). The examples presented above primarily represent 2D modular construction, which uses flat elements assembled on-site. This approach allows for greater flexibility in design and transport. Despite the faster construction process and higher precision of 3D modular systems (which use volumetric modules delivered as nearly complete building segments), they remain less common in Poland due to higher storage and logistics demands, and higher production costs. However, we believe the gap between these two technologies will gradually narrow over time.
