Cost of Prefabricated Structural Housing

The cost of prefabricated structural housing varies significantly depending on the type, materials, and specifications. Below is detailed pricing information for different categories:

I. Prefabricated Panel Houses
Prefabricated panel houses are the most cost-effective type of prefabricated structure, with construction costs ranging from 300 to 600 yuan per square meter. Among them, simple panel houses start at 300 yuan/㎡, suitable for short-term use or temporary accommodation needs; well-decorated panel houses can cost up to 600 yuan/㎡, including basic decoration and facility configurations. For a 100㎡ house, the total budget is approximately 30,000 to 60,000 yuan, making it suitable for users with limited budgets and low requirements for living quality.

II. Prefabricated Houses
The cost of prefabricated houses varies significantly based on the structural materials used:

1. Light Steel Structures: Costing between 1,500 and 2,500 yuan per square meter, these structures feature short construction periods and good earthquake resistance, making them suitable for rural self-built houses or small commercial buildings.
2. Wood Structures: Priced at 2,000 to 3,500 yuan per square meter, these structures offer excellent environmental performance but require consideration of wood preservation and fire prevention treatments, making them suitable for eco-tourism areas or low-density residences.
3. Concrete Structures: With costs ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per square meter, these structures are sturdy and durable, suitable for high-rise or multi-story buildings, but have longer construction periods.

III. Prefabricated Houses for Rural Areas in Henan
Designed for the rural market, these prefabricated houses cost approximately 300-plus yuan per square meter and have a lifespan of up to 70 years. For a 200㎡ house, the total cost is only around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, including foundation construction and main structure. These houses typically adopt standardized designs, ensuring high construction efficiency and meeting long-term living needs in rural areas.

IV. Overseas Export Prefabricated Houses
The cost of prefabricated houses in overseas markets is significantly influenced by transportation, tariffs, and local installation fees:

1. The ex-factory prices of similar domestic products typically range from 30,000 to 80,000 US dollars, suitable for developing country markets.
2. In the North American market, the total landed cost of similar products is approximately 20,000 to 50,000 US dollars, due to lower local construction costs and high demand.
3. A high-end market case shows that in June 2026, a modular house manufactured in China and shipped to Spain, after local installation and high-end decoration, was listed for sale at 1.2 million US dollars, reflecting the impact of customized design and brand premium on costs.

Summary: The cost range of prefabricated structural housing is extensive, covering from 300 yuan/㎡ for simple domestic panel houses to 1.2 million US dollars for overseas high-end residences. Users should select the appropriate type based on usage scenarios, budget, and durability requirements, while also considering additional costs such as transportation and installation.
