Prefabricated Houses at the CIFTF 2026
The core highlights of the prefabricated houses displayed at the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTF) include technological innovation, optimized modular systems, and expanded multi-scenario applications.
I. China Construction First Bureau: E-MIC System Breaks Through Traditional Design Logic
The E-MIC prefabricated concrete box house system introduced by China Construction First Bureau focuses on digitalization and modularization. It completes component splitting, pipeline layout, and unit combination simulations via computer, shifting traditional on-site operations to factories for standardized production. Its innovation lies in breaking the limitation of 'one module, one room' by adopting an 'alternate arrangement' method, simplifying basic units into three types: prefabricated concrete modules, beams, and slabs. This design reduces module usage by 30%–40%, lowers material consumption while increasing usable floor area, speeds up construction by over 20%, and offers more flexible spatial layouts. The system has been applied in urban renewal, residential, and office building scenarios and is advancing cooperation with multiple countries globally, demonstrating its potential for technology export.
II. China Construction Third Bureau: 'Meijia Yizhu' Combines Seismic Resistance and Efficiency Advantages
The 'Meijia Yizhu' model room by China Construction Third Bureau is supported by the EI-MC concrete modular integrated construction technology, adopting a combined mode of 'modular units + PC components + cast-in-place structures'. Modules are prefabricated in factories and then hoisted on-site, with overall pouring enhancing structural integrity. This approach balances the high precision of prefabricated buildings with the seismic durability of cast-in-place structures. Compared to traditional construction, this technology shortens the construction period by about 30% and significantly improves quality stability, making it particularly suitable for public buildings and residential projects with high structural safety requirements.
III. Beijing Housing Industrialization Group: Multi-Spectrum Modular Technology Meets Diverse Needs
Beijing Housing Industrialization Group showcased three core modular systems:
- RCMS Ribbed Plate Concrete Module System: Demonstrates its efficient construction logic through a physical model room, suitable for mid-to-high-rise residential and commercial buildings;
- MCS Concrete Modular System: Developed in collaboration with Academician Nie Jianguo from Tsinghua University, emphasizing integrated structural and decoration design to improve construction efficiency;
- CLIM Small Module System: Targets renovation needs in narrow spaces, showcasing its flexibility in partial renovations of bathrooms and kitchens through detachable miniature models and complete bathroom units, with a material recycling rate exceeding 90%.
These technologies collectively reflect the trend of prefabricated houses evolving from standardized production to customization and refinement, providing efficient solutions for urban renewal, emergency buildings, and overseas projects.
