Guangzhou Cement Prefabricated Panel Houses

Guangzhou cement prefabricated panel houses are buildings constructed primarily with prefabricated panels. They are gradually being replaced by new building forms, and the existing houses have certain issues and are mainly repaired and renovated.

Policy Background

Guangzhou has a clear plan for its architectural development. Starting from 2026, all new residential buildings will be prefabricated. By the end of 2030, at least eight out of ten newly constructed buildings will be prefabricated. This policy direction indicates that in the future, Guangzhou's building forms will develop towards prefabricated structures, and cement prefabricated panel houses, as traditional building forms, will gradually have a lower proportion in newly constructed buildings.

Manufacturers and Prices

Although the information about local Guangzhou enterprises producing products related to cement prefabricated panel houses is not clearly mentioned, Hebei Zhongzhu Housing Technology Co., Ltd. provides such products. Their product prices are mostly 1000.00 yuan per square meter or 1100.00 yuan per square meter. The styles can be freely chosen. The products have features such as easy assembly, energy conservation, environmental protection, and short construction periods. They can also be traded online, with delivery within 48 hours, and come with service guarantees such as compensation for shortages and compensation for damage.

Overall Situation of Prefabricated Panel Houses

Prefabricated panel houses originated in the early 20th century. In China, residential buildings constructed before 1985 mostly adopted this type of structure. Prefabricated panels are cement components prefabricated in factories. During production, wooden models are nailed, steel bars are arranged, and cement is poured to form the panels. They are divided into solid and hollow types. The hollow structure achieves lightweighting by reducing the non-load-bearing concrete.

However, with the development of building technology, cast-in-place concrete and prefabricated buildings are gradually replacing traditional prefabricated panel houses. The existing prefabricated panel houses generally have some issues, such as weak earthquake resistance. In the event of natural disasters like earthquakes, the building structure is prone to damage; poor sound insulation and heat insulation, which affects living comfort; and a service life of about 30 - 50 years, which is relatively short compared to some new building types. Since 2022, China has implemented a policy of old building renovation, mainly repairing and renovating prefabricated panel houses and only demolishing those that meet the criteria for dangerous buildings.

Export Situation

In the first four months of 2026, enterprises in the Guangzhou Customs area exported 1.4 billion yuan worth of mobile houses, a year-on-year increase of 38.1%. This to some extent reflects the demand for related building products in the international market.
