BLOG Standards and construction

Faced with both environmental and regulatory pressures, the construction sector is undergoing a major transformation. The need to build faster, better, and with a lower environmental footprint is pushing many industry players toward innovative methods — including off-site construction. As a French pioneer in industrialised bathroom pods, BAUDET is fully aligned with this shift, offering tangible and sustainable solutions tailored to the demands of today’s market.

Faced with the housing crisis, the French government is betting on industrial solutions to accelerate the construction of social housing and student accommodation, targeting 100,000 units delivered by 2025. In this context, off-site prefabricated bathrooms have emerged as an effective and sustainable solution. Produced in our factories in Mouchamps, these ready-to-install bathrooms help reduce lead times, control costs, and ensure consistent quality. As specialist BAUDET — with 40% of its projects dedicated to social housing and student accommodation — designs prefabricated and modular bathrooms perfectly suited to the needs of student residences, social housing providers, and large-scale programs.

In a construction sector undergoing rapid transformation, the industrialization of building methods stands out as a concrete response to the challenges of quality, timelines, sustainability, and performance. At BAUDET, this conviction has driven us for over 30 years. And today, we’ve chosen to give it a new expression: an institutional video designed as a visual manifesto of our expertise.

The hospitality sector comes with its own set of requirements when it comes to interior equipment — especially bathrooms. As a central element of the guest experience, the hotel bathroom must combine design, durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance. To meet these demands, BAUDET’s metallic bathrooms offer a compact, customisable, and ready-to-install solution, perfectly suited to the specific needs of the hotel industry.

Industrialization and digitization are now major drivers transforming the construction sector. At BAUDET, innovation is an integral part of our approach, and we are constantly working to improve our industrial processes. In this spirit, we teamed up with Bouygues Construction and Dassault Systèmes to push the boundaries of modular construction.

Sustainable construction and the industrialization of manufacturing processes are at the heart of the construction sector’s challenges, particularly with the rise of innovative solutions such as prefabricated bathrooms. Since the beginning of 2025, BAUDET, the French leader in prefabricated bathroom manufacturing, has launched a new metallic range that promises to transform the way sanitary spaces are designed, produced, and installed.

Off-site construction is an exciting field that is revolutionizing the construction industry by providing innovative concept and delivery opportunities. Thanks to controlled industrialization, this construction method is essential in large-scale projects. Here is a look at its benefits and how it can be integrated into outstanding achievements.

Prefabrication is not a novelty in the building sector, but it is experiencing spectacular growth, particularly with bathrooms pods. Historically, off-site construction has been adopted to meet the needs for speed and cost reduction, but technological innovations and sustainability research have now made it a key asset in construction. This article traces the evolution of prefabricated bathrooms and shows how they have become a preferred solution for large real estate projects, such as those carried out by BAUDET.

In a sector undergoing transformation, the demands for sustainability and resource management have become essential. Prefabrication plays a key role in this change, particularly due to the possibilities of reuse and circularity it offers. This article explores how the prefabrication of bathrooms contributes to more sustainable construction, focusing on the solutions developed by BAUDET to accompany this transition to a circular economy.

Faced with the growing demand for housing due to environmental challenges, the construction sector must adapt, particularly by moving toward industrialization. In this context, off-site construction offers considerable advantages. Here’s an overview of this increasingly popular construction method…

The building construction sector is the biggest consumer of energy and one of the bigger generators of greenhouse gases if we take into account both the emissions necessary at the preparation of a construction site the site and those which then persist during of the exploitation of the building.
