The world of real estate constantly evolves in its construction processes with the help of technology and materials; Gigafactory constructions are currently revolutionizing the industry.

According to Yamal Chamoun, founder of Escala, this new term and model is coined after Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, which is derived from giga, the unit of measurement for billions.

These constructions are used to produce electric vehicle batteries; and due to its use, a large number of gigafactories are being developed in Europe.

"According to The Öko-Institut, a German research and consulting institution, global demand is expected to reach 220 gigafactories by 2050," said the manager.

Who also explained that in order to execute a project of this type, a large number of people are needed, added to the fact that each team depends to a great extent on the others, so planning and processes are essential.

“By providing a central access point for the construction data model, everyone involved in the project can check the status of the project at any time, anywhere in the world, regardless of time zone.”

When it comes to modular construction issues, he said that this model needs more concrete parts than a "normal factory." “While precast concrete columns in a standard factory weigh around 10 tons each…a single column in a gigafactory can weigh almost 70 tons.”

“Musk set the pace in 2019, when he publicly announced that he wanted to build Gigafactory 4 in Germany faster than Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai,” Yamal Chamoun said.

In order to build the property, a large number of German companies are getting involved in the project, such as Goldbeck, a construction and real estate company.

“Meeting this demand requires planning and digital prefabrication. The only way it is possible to create a production facility of this size, in such a short time, is through the use of standardized components and scalable series production.”

In Mexico, due to Elon Musk's visits to Nuevo León, it has been speculated that the first gigafactory will be built in the country. Reuters mentioned that if the construction is confirmed, the state would be receiving an investment of up to one billion dollars.
