Foshan Prefabricated Assembly-Type Housing

Admin September 18, 2026

Foshan has established a promotion system in the field of prefabricated assembly-type housing that integrates policy guidance, corporate innovation, and technical standards, with clear development goals and a solid foundation for industrial practice.

Clear Policy Support with Quantifiable and Traceable Goals

In April 2026, the Office of the Foshan Municipal People's Government issued the 'Implementation Measures for Promoting Prefabricated Buildings in Foshan,' proposing that by 2030, the proportion of newly constructed prefabricated building area should reach over 50%, with government-invested projects accounting for over 70%. This policy covers the entire administrative region of Foshan and includes four major categories of prefabricated buildings: timber structures, steel structures, reinforced concrete structures, and composite structures, providing top-level design guarantees for industrial development. The policy drives industrial chain upgrades through quantifiable goals while clarifying the demonstration role of government-invested projects, promoting the transition of prefabricated buildings from 'pilot applications' to 'large-scale popularization.'

Corporate Technology-Driven, Diversified Product Scenarios

Local companies have formed differentiated competitiveness through technological innovation:

  • Foshan Yakai Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on container houses and holds 31 utility model patents (such as 'Strip Corner Fittings for Container Houses' and 'Steel Structure Frame'), with an annual production capacity of 25,000 units. Its products enable rapid assembly through modular design and are suitable for scenarios such as temporary buildings and cultural tourism homestays.
  • Hege Light Steel Keel Villas specializes in steel structure modular housing, using 100% recyclable materials and offering advantages such as short construction periods (50% shorter than traditional buildings), strong earthquake resistance (capable of withstanding magnitude 8 earthquakes), and convenient installation (single module assembly completed in 2 hours). Its product line covers triangular homestays, space capsule series, student apartments, etc., precisely meeting the needs of resorts, commercial hotels, and educational facilities, demonstrating the flexibility of 'standardized design + customized application' in prefabricated buildings.

Unified Technical Standards, Innovative Models for Efficiency Improvement

Foshan requires prefabricated buildings to strictly adhere to national, provincial, and municipal standards, emphasizing the promotion of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology for integrated design and optimizing the entire process of component production, transportation, and installation through digital means. It also encourages the adoption of the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) model, where a single entity oversees design, procurement, and construction, reducing communication costs and improving project delivery efficiency. For example, Hege Light Steel Keel Villas achieve full-chain control of 'design-production-installation' through the EPC model, ensuring project cycles are shortened by over 30% compared to traditional models.

In summary, Foshan has constructed a complete ecosystem for prefabricated assembly-type housing through three paths: policy goal traction, corporate technological breakthroughs, and standard model innovation, providing a replicable practical model for the transformation of the construction industry towards industrialization.
