Prefabricated Houses in Rural Hebei
Prefabricated houses in rural Hebei, mainly consisting of assembled rural houses, offer advantages such as policy support, efficient construction, high quality, environmental friendliness, and diverse appearances.
Strong Policy Support: In 2022, Hebei took the lead nationwide in launching a pilot project for assembled rural houses. For farmers who build new assembled rural houses included in the pilot, the provincial government provides a uniform housing subsidy of 10,000 yuan per household and has launched the 'Yunongtong' APP online application system, enabling farmers to complete the entire process of housing construction application, qualification verification, and subsidy application online without leaving their villages. Additionally, many cities and prefectures have introduced supporting incentive measures on top of the 'provincial subsidy' to further alleviate the housing construction burden on farmers.
Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Construction: Major components of assembled rural houses, such as columns, beams, and wall panels, are prefabricated on factory assembly lines with millimeter-level dimensional accuracy, eliminating the uncertainty of 'the fate of the house depending on the craftsmanship of the master' in traditional construction. On-site assembly does not require formwork or slurry leakage, making house-building as easy as 'building with blocks' in an environmentally friendly and efficient manner. For example, an assembled rural house with a laminated steel mesh structure covering an area of approximately 150 square meters can be designed, produced in the factory, constructed on-site, and finally inspected in as little as 15 days. Meanwhile, all components are processed in an environmentally friendly manner in the factory, with almost no dust or construction waste on-site. Excess formwork, samples, and waste materials are all collected and recycled.
High Quality and Earthquake Resistance: Factory production ensures quality from the source, with uniform standards, good overall integrity, and excellent earthquake resistance. The walls are earthquake-resistant, keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer, and maintenance is convenient and cost-effective in the later stages. The style can also be customized according to the household's needs to meet the personalized demands of farmers.
Diverse and Customizable Appearances: The appearance, materials, and colors of the walls can all be customized according to demand. Farmers can choose appearance materials such as imitation stone coatings and cultured stones, match them with different color schemes, and have the house layout and structure customized privately, making each household unique.
To ensure the quality and safety of engineering projects, Hebei guides farmers and construction enterprises to uniformly use the 'Model Contract for the Construction of Assembled Rural Houses', clarifying construction content and responsibilities. It has also formed a technical service team in collaboration with multiple departments, trained leading craftsmen in rural areas, and established a county-township-village three-level linkage mechanism to provide on-site inspections and technical guidance throughout the construction process.
