At construction sites, factories, production facilities, schools or communal living areas, a cafeteria building is not just a place to eat. Kitchen operations, staff circulation, hygiene, storage, ventilation and technical installations must all work in harmony. That is why, in prefabricated cafeteria planning, the daily number of users and the operational flow should be determined before the building's size in square meters. Capacity Planning Should Be the First Step In a cafeteria project, the most […]

The exterior facade of a building is not just a surface that defines its architectural appearance. The facade system is an important building layer in terms of protection against external conditions, thermal control, moisture management and occupant comfort. To achieve the right performance in light steel exterior facade applications, the load-bearing substructure, insulation, boards and final cladding should be designed not independently but as a single […]

In tourism investments, the choice of building system affects not only construction costs but also the facility's time to opening, room layouts and flexibility of use in the years ahead. This is why light steel building systems are among the options investors can consider for boutique hotel, apart-hotel and short-term rental projects. The 428 m² hotel project completed by Karınca Prefabrik in Kocaeli illustrates how the light steel system performs in tourism buildings […]

Solar panels can be installed on a prefab house; however, for a proper installation, the roof system, load-bearing capacity, panel layout and electrical infrastructure must be evaluated together at the design stage. Especially in prefab houses intended for year-round living, a solar energy system is one of the solutions that can help manage electricity consumption more effectively. When building a new home, specifying the need for solar panels from the outset, compared with adding the system later, […]

In large-scale building projects, not every section may have the same load-bearing system requirements. Heavy steel systems come to the fore in sections that need wide spans, greater story heights and high load-bearing capacity, while light steel solutions can be used for walls, facades and complementary building sections. Combining these two systems in the same project with the right engineering can deliver both structural strength and flexibility in implementation. Karınca […]

Looking only at the starting price is not enough when choosing a prefab house in 2026. The right choice should be made by considering the house's size in square meters, insulation system, roof and window features, location and long-term energy costs together. In Türkiye, prefab houses stand out among individual housing alternatives thanks to fast production, a variety of room layouts and solutions that can be applied to rural or suburban plots. […]

When designing a large detached house, simply increasing the number of rooms is not enough. The living room, kitchen, bedrooms, shared areas and outdoor connections must be planned to work together harmoniously. In terms of architectural flexibility and controlled production, the light steel building system is one of the key options for large residential projects. Karınca Prefabrik's 309 m² residential project in Kaynarca, Sakarya, offers a large-scale […]

The fundamental difference between a steel structure and a prefabricated system is that the former mainly refers to a type of load-bearing system, while the latter refers to a production and assembly method. The two concepts are therefore not exact opposites. Steel can also be used in the load-bearing system of a prefabricated building. The real difference emerges in the building's scale, its intended use, the loads it must carry and its span requirements. Factories, warehouses and […]

A single-storey detached house offers a comfortable living alternative for many people, thanks to its step-free access, direct connection to the garden and the fact that all living areas are on the same floor. When combined with light steel construction technology, modern architecture, rapid production and a variety of floor plan options can all be incorporated into a single project. In Karınca Prefabrik’s range of single-storey light steel houses, there are various square metre […]

Although temporary site structures are intended for use only for the duration of a project, they can become areas where workers spend months or even years. In construction, energy, infrastructure, mining and industrial facility projects, it is not enough simply to erect offices, dormitories, canteens, meeting areas and social facilities quickly. The structure must support the daily work routine, adapt to climatic conditions and maintain comfort during long-term use. For this reason […]

For those wishing to have a small, practical and quick-to-assemble living space on their own land, living containers are one of the most appealing alternatives. When planning a space for weekend use in the garden, a hobby room, a guest area or a living space for longer stays, it is important to choose the right container model. Karınca Prefabrik’s living containers can be designed to suit various usage scenarios; the walls and roof […]

In large-scale commercial development projects, the key expectation of investors is that a large number of independent units will be made ready for use to a specific standard of quality, within a controlled budget and in the shortest possible time. In particular, the reconstruction of commercial areas following a disaster, temporary or permanent market projects, industrial estates, small business clusters and new commercial centres—the correct selection of the building system directly determines the success of the project […]
