Bengbu Prefabricated Houses
Bengbu has exploration and practice in the field of prefabricated houses, represented by double-wing expandable modular houses, along with the advancement of relevant enterprise projects, product supply in the market, and a certain position in industry exports.
Exploration Model
Anhui Bengbu has explored a path to create "demountable and relocatable" rural homestays using double-wing expandable modular houses. These houses are fully prefabricated in factories and, upon arrival at the site, undergo structural expansion, water and electricity connection, and soft decoration. According to the fastest progress of on-site assembly and commissioning, they can be ready for operation within a few days. If creating a cluster, they can enter the site in batches and be built and operated simultaneously without waiting for all to be completed. The core logic is light investment and fast trial-and-error. The houses can be transported by trailers, and their structures can be expanded on-site. The original footprint of about 20 square meters can be expanded to approximately 40 square meters of usable space, allowing for flexible transformation into various room types. Operators can first launch 5 rooms for trial operation and decide whether to expand based on holiday passenger flow data. If the project does not meet expectations, they can also relocate the entire setup to avoid long-term asset precipitation on a single piece of land.
Enterprise Projects
Bengbu Xuanda Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. has a project titled "New Annual Processing of 1,000 Sets of Integrated Cement Prefabricated Houses," which was approved for filing by the Huaiyuan County Development and Reform Commission on January 10, 2024, with the project code 2401 - 340321 - 04 - 01 - 270079. It is located in Xinjie Village, Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, covering an area of 9,667 square meters. The project construction requires the implementation of measures such as "rainwater and sewage diversion, clean and dirty water diversion" for drainage, air pollution prevention and control, the selection of low-noise equipment, strengthening solid waste environmental management, and implementing groundwater and soil pollution prevention and control to ensure that all types of pollutants are discharged up to standard and that the discharge of major pollutants meets the total control index requirements.
Market Situation
There are products related to Bengbu prefabricated houses available in the market. For example, as of December 14, 2024, there are prefabricated houses for construction sites in Bengbu, Anhui, which can be customized in various specifications, are stable and sturdy, and are sourced from the production area, priced at 3,820.00 yuan per set.
Industry Position
Anhui Bengbu has local integrated housing source factories, such as Easy Fold, whose orders for foldable integrated houses span from construction sites within the province to over 30 countries overseas. In the first half of 2026, the total export value of prefabricated buildings in China was 2.79 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth rate of 45%. Among them, orders for lightweight foldable houses grew even faster, with products covering more than 160 countries and regions worldwide. Foldable houses are favored by overseas customers because they are fully prefabricated at the factory, have a small volume when folded and retracted, with one 40-foot high cube container able to hold 23 sets. The sea freight cost per set decreases by more than 60%. After the container arrives at the port, it can be hoisted, landed, expanded, and fixed within a few hours, and can be used directly after connecting to water and electricity. The project implementation speed is fast, and after completion, it can be folded and transported again for recycling.
