Dongguan Prefabricated Steel Structure Houses
The following is an overview of prefabricated steel structure houses in Dongguan:
Production and Export Model
The prefabricated steel structure houses in Dongguan adopt a modular construction model, where buildings are disassembled into independent unit modules, prefabricated in factories, and then transported to the site for assembly. For example, the modular houses at Dongguan Port in Guangdong are based on standard container sizes. All processes, including water and electricity installation and interior decoration, are completed in the factory. After being shipped to ASEAN markets such as Indonesia and Vietnam, they can be directly assembled on site. This model significantly shortens the on-site construction period and enhances the controllability of building quality.
Enterprise Participation
Several enterprises in Dongguan are engaged in businesses related to prefabricated steel structure houses:
- Dongguan Wanhe Prefabricated Construction Co., Ltd. (formerly Dongguan Wanhe Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.), established in 2018, specializes in the design, sales, and installation of integrated houses and steel structure products. Its product range includes container houses and prefabricated houses, and it holds utility model patents such as "a combined corner keel," demonstrating its technological innovation capabilities.
- Light Steel Structure House Merchants: There are numerous merchants in the Dongguan market offering products such as light steel villas, movable prefabricated民宿 (homestays), steel guard booths, and steel carports. Some of these products have entered the market for transactions. For instance, cross-border double-wing expandable container houses (20-foot/40-foot) are sold as color-steel integrated houses with earthquake resistance features, priced at approximately 305 yuan per square meter, and offer discounts such as 10 yuan off the first order.
Factory Support Resources
Shatian Environmental Protection City in Dongguan has a single-story steel structure factory covering an area of 2,400 square meters with a maximum height of 10 meters. It is equipped with a ready-made steel structure mezzanine, offices, and complete water and electricity facilities. Such factories provide infrastructure support for the production of prefabricated steel structure houses, meeting the needs for manufacturing, storage, and preliminary assembly of modular building units, further promoting industrial agglomeration development.
Summary
The prefabricated steel structure house industry in Dongguan has formed a complete chain from production and export to enterprise support. Relying on modular technology, patent innovation, and market-oriented transaction models, it has become competitive in the ASEAN market. Meanwhile, local factory resources provide hardware support for industrial expansion.
