Hengshui Concrete Prefabricated Houses
Hengshui has made remarkable progress in the field of concrete prefabricated houses, primarily reflected in the promotion of prefabricated rural houses and the export business of prefabricated house factories.
Outstanding Achievements in Promoting Prefabricated Rural Houses
Hengshui City has actively promoted the construction of prefabricated rural houses. By the end of 2025, a total of 2,474 demonstration households for prefabricated rural houses had been declared across the city, and in 2024, it took the lead in achieving full coverage of prefabricated rural house demonstration households at the county level throughout the province. Prefabricated rural houses are constructed using factory-prefabricated components and on-site assembly methods, mainly including types such as assembled monolithic concrete structures, light steel structures, and modular wall structures. This construction method offers significant advantages, including fast construction speed, enabling the completion of house construction in a relatively short time; stable quality, as factory-prefabricated components ensure consistent quality; strong earthquake resistance, effectively withstanding natural disasters such as earthquakes; and features such as energy efficiency, environmental protection, warmth in winter, and coolness in summer. To facilitate the implementation of prefabricated rural houses, the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has improved a three-in-one support mechanism comprising financial subsidies, simplified approval processes, and technical services. For example, ordinary farmers receive a subsidy of 10,000 yuan per household, and households undergoing危房 (dilapidated house) renovation and new construction with prefabricated structures can叠加 (superimpose) enjoy two subsidies; relying on the "Yunongtong" APP to achieve full online processing, conducting activities such as "policy delivery to rural areas and technical services to households," and strengthening quality supervision throughout the construction process.
Sound Development of Export Business for Prefabricated House Factories
In 2022, Sun Guangqing's prefabricated house factory officially commenced operations in Hengshui, Hebei. Despite an initial contraction in domestic market orders, it achieved success after shifting its focus to overseas markets. From an industry-wide perspective, China's export volume of prefabricated buildings soared from $1.7 billion in 2020 to $4.3 billion in 2025, with the United States, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Western Europe being the primary buyers. Approximately 30 prefabricated house factories in Hengshui participate in this competitive market. Hengshui's prefabricated house factories boast numerous advantages, including fast production speed and high efficiency, with the ability to construct a house in just 15 to 25 days and deliver it to overseas customers within three months. They also benefit from low labor costs, a tight local supply chain, and large-scale production, which collectively endow Hengshui's prefabricated houses with strong competitiveness in the overseas market.
