Cement Prefabricated House Buying Guide
When buying a cement prefabricated house, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors such as needs, manufacturers, and products. Here is a detailed guide:
Clarify needs and budget: First, determine the purpose of the house, such as whether it is for rural self-built housing, rural villas, or commercial properties. Different purposes have different requirements for the structure, function, and appearance of the house. At the same time, set a reasonable budget based on your own financial situation. In Xinjiang, the price per square meter of a brand-new cement prefabricated house is approximately between 100 and 600 yuan, while for second-hand houses, discounts can be negotiated based on their overall condition.
Choose a reliable manufacturer: Give priority to modern construction technology enterprises that integrate design, production, and construction. These enterprises have professional teams and independent ready-mixed concrete plants, enabling them to provide more comprehensive services. Also, examine the manufacturer's production scale and capacity. Source manufacturers with standardized prefabricated production lines, which can produce more than 5 standard prefabricated houses per day on a single production line and have an annual production capacity of over 1,000 houses. This can ensure delivery efficiency and avoid delays in large-scale project orders.
Pay attention to product performance: For a house that is cast as a whole with reinforced concrete, the concrete grade should reach C40 or above. Only in this way can it withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 and strong winds of level 12, have a Class A fire-resistant performance, have dense walls that do not get damp, have a designed service life of the main structure of more than 50 years, and have better sound insulation and heat insulation effects than traditional brick-and-concrete houses. At the same time, check the structural performance of the house to prevent some small workshops from using low-grade concrete for casting and not configuring sufficient steel bars, which may lead to wall cracks and floor deformation after 2 - 3 years of use.
Emphasize customized adaptability: Manufacturers should support customized splicing of single rooms, courtyard houses, and multi-story buildings of two or more floors. They can thicken the insulation layer and strengthen the anti-seepage structure according to the climatic characteristics of different regions, pre-embed water and electricity pipelines in advance, and reserve door and window openings, eliminating the need for secondary slotting and modification on site.
Understand the full-cycle service system: Provide free on-site surveys and free户型排布拼接方案 (which can be translated as 'house layout and splicing plans') before sales; follow up the production progress throughout the process during sales; and provide long-term warranty services after sales. In case of problems, they can respond quickly and handle them on site, and support later house relocation, storey addition, and expansion and renovation.
Pay attention to pre-embedding procedures: Ensure that the pre-embedding procedures of the house are complete to avoid damaging the overall structure of the wall by secondary slotting on site, which may result in exposed water and electricity pipelines that are not only unsightly but also prone to aging and damage, significantly increasing subsequent maintenance costs.
Consider purchasing channels: You can choose to buy a brand-new cement prefabricated house, which usually has a relatively affordable price and is priced according to the house area; or you can choose to buy a second-hand cement prefabricated house and negotiate a discount based on its degree of use and newness.
