Business model
According to its own definition, the center sees itself as a “Smart Expo”: In addition to the topic of prefabricated houses , themed worlds and consulting services relating to building, renovation / renovation and modern living are offered. The Blue Lagoon works in a similar way to a shopping center or a year-round fair. Around 100 suppliers are currently exhibiting, around 40% of them in the prefabricated house sector (as of December 2015). On average, around 150,000 people gather information in the Blue Lagoon every year.
In Austria today, every third one or two-family house is built using prefabricated construction. The prefabricated house center has made a significant contribution to this since it opened in 1991: At the beginning of the 1990s, the proportion of prefabricated houses in new buildings was around 12 percent, today it is over 33 percent.
The companies in the prefabricated house sector in Austria achieve a turnover of 848 million euros per year. Around 50% of this, i.e. 425 million euros, is sold via the Blue Lagoon.
