Advanced Construction Techniques
Revolutionizing residential development through innovative building methods and digital tools.
Innovative Construction for Modern Living
At Miradouro, we're at the forefront of adopting innovative construction methods and digital tools to build faster, greener, and higher-quality projects. Our comprehensive approach combines globally recognized off-site building techniques with cutting-edge software platforms, all adapted for implementation in Portugal.
Innovative Off-Site and Prefabrication Methods
Our advanced construction techniques deliver greater speed, consistent quality, and a smaller environmental footprint for all our residential developments.
Modular Construction
We fabricate large 3D modules in factory-controlled environments, completing up to 80% of building work off-site. This results in significantly faster project timelines, higher precision, reduced material waste, and improved worker safety.
Panelized Construction Systems
Using pre-manufactured flat panels for walls, floors, and roof sections, we achieve rapid assembly with a weather-tight shell in days. These systems offer better quality control, cost savings, design flexibility, and superior insulation and energy efficiency.
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)
Our engineered wood panels are made by layering timber at right angles, creating sustainable alternatives to steel or concrete. Despite being five times lighter than concrete, CLT panels have exceptional structural strength while storing carbon dioxide and reducing environmental impact.
Hybrid Prefabrication
We combine multiple building methods, such as volumetric modular units for kitchens and bathrooms, panelized assemblies for walls, and traditional construction for foundations. This integrated approach leverages the benefits of each method for maximum efficiency and flexibility.
The Prefabrication Advantage
Our off-site construction methods offer significant advantages over traditional building techniques, delivering projects that are not only completed faster but also built to higher standards of quality and sustainability.
- Up to 50% faster construction timelines through parallel on-site and off-site work
- Superior quality control in factory environments with precision manufacturing
- Reduced material waste and lower environmental impact during construction
- Improved worker safety with controlled manufacturing environments
- Greater design flexibility and customization options for unique architectural visions
Leading Software Tools for Development
Our digital tools enable better planning, coordination, and management of projects from inception through operation.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Our BIM platforms create rich 3D digital models that integrate architecture, structure, and MEP systems. This enables clash detection, improves collaboration, optimizes material usage, and contributes to sustainability through energy modeling and prefabrication planning.
Construction Project Management
We use advanced platforms for scheduling, resource allocation, document management, and team communication. This improves transparency, coordination, and accountability, helping us manage costs and meet deadlines more reliably.
Cost Estimation and 5D BIM
Our estimating software performs detailed quantity take-offs and cost calculations. By linking costs to the digital building model, any design change automatically updates material quantities and pricing, speeding up the budgeting process and reducing errors.
Digital Twin Platforms
We create highly detailed virtual replicas of buildings that remain in sync with the real-world structures. This provides continuous, real-time data and insights, allowing us to predict potential issues, streamline processes, and optimize building performance.
Our Construction Approach
At Miradouro, we've revolutionized the traditional construction process by integrating cutting-edge digital technologies with proven building methods. Our Building Intelligence approach represents a fundamental shift in how we design, plan, and execute construction projects.
By digitizing the entire construction value chain, we create a seamless flow of information from initial concept to final delivery and beyond. This digital thread enables unprecedented levels of precision, efficiency, and quality control throughout the building process.
Our approach combines the precision of Swiss engineering with the power of advanced digital tools, resulting in faster construction times, reduced costs, and superior quality outcomes for our clients.
Building Intelligence Components
Our Building Intelligence approach integrates multiple digital technologies to transform every aspect of the construction process.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
We create detailed digital representations of every physical and functional characteristic of our buildings, enabling precise planning and execution.
Digital Twins
Virtual replicas of our projects allow for real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization throughout the construction and operational lifecycle.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Advanced analytics provide complete visibility into project progress, performance, and potential optimizations.
Integrated Project Management
Our proprietary platform connects all stakeholders and processes, ensuring seamless coordination and communication.
Predictive Planning
AI-powered tools help us anticipate challenges, optimize schedules, and reduce delays before they impact the project.
The Digital Twin Advantage
At the heart of our Building Intelligence approach is the digital twin—a dynamic, virtual representation of our physical buildings and construction processes. This technology allows us to:
- Simulate and optimize building performance before breaking ground
- Detect and resolve design conflicts early in the process
- Monitor construction progress in real-time against the digital model
- Provide clients with unprecedented visibility into their projects
- Create a digital asset that continues to provide value throughout the building's lifecycle
