Chinese Prefabricated Houses in Sichuan

Admin September 18, 2026

In Sichuan, the practice of Chinese prefabricated houses mainly includes two types: prefabricated rural houses and hotel-style tent houses.

Prefabricated rural houses are a typical representative of Chinese prefabricated houses in Sichuan. Taking the case in Jianyang City, Chengdu as an example, its design fully incorporates elements of Chinese style and adopts a reinforced concrete modular structure, achieving a balance between efficient construction and seismic performance. The main body of the rural house can be hoisted in just 3 days, and the overall move-in period is about 1 month. It has a seismic resistance rating of up to 8, meeting the safety requirements of earthquake-prone areas in Sichuan. From an economic perspective, the cost of the main structure is about 1,200 yuan per square meter. Taking a two-story rural house of 180 square meters as an example, the cost of the main structure is about just over 200,000 yuan. If decoration and supporting facilities are included, the total cost for move-in is about 350,000 yuan and up. This model not only shortens the construction period but also reduces costs through standardized design, providing a replicable solution for rural housing construction.

Although hotel-style tent houses do not explicitly mention Chinese design, their modular construction method and rapid setup characteristics provide technical references for the overseas promotion of Chinese prefabricated houses. Products of this type produced by Sichuan Xueli Tent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. adopt standardized modular design. Standardized products can be shipped within 7-15 days, and on-site installation takes only 5-10 days, significantly improving construction efficiency. Their detachable and movable features adapt to temporary or mobile needs, while the modular structure facilitates transportation and reduces international logistics costs. Currently, the company's products have been exported to 16 countries and regions, demonstrating the international adaptability of its technical solutions. If Chinese design elements (such as upturned eaves and dougong brackets) are incorporated into the tent house structure, or cultural symbols are enhanced through soft furnishings (such as Chinese-style furniture and decorations), their application potential in overseas cultural tourism and accommodation scenarios can be further expanded.

In conclusion, the practice of Chinese prefabricated houses in Sichuan has achieved localized efficient construction through prefabricated rural houses and explored the international application of modular technology through hotel-style tent houses. Together, they have promoted the integrated development of prefabricated houses in the fields of Chinese style and industrialized construction.
