How to Choose Prefabricated Houses

Choosing prefabricated houses requires considering multiple factors such as usage scenarios, performance, materials, costs, brands, and after-sales services. Here are the specific selection points:

Clarify Usage Scenarios and Requirements Different scenarios have significantly different requirements for prefabricated houses. For temporary office and accommodation in engineering camps, priority should be given to installation efficiency, structural stability, and cost-effectiveness to ensure rapid deployment and meet basic functional needs. For commercial temporary spaces (such as pop-up stores and exhibition booths), focus should be on layout flexibility, customizable appearance, and reusability to adapt to frequent adjustments and multiple uses.

Focus on Core Performance Indicators

• Installation Efficiency: Choose products with a short time from arrival to operational use for a single module to shorten the construction period and reduce time costs.
• Wind Resistance: Require manufacturers to provide third-party wind resistance test reports (such as actual test data for 8-level winds) to ensure structural safety in extreme weather conditions.
• Spatial Flexibility: Evaluate the number of modules that can be joined and the range of layout adjustments to meet customized needs, such as expandable space or functional zoning adjustments.

Examine Materials and Quality Prioritize the use of recyclable materials such as thick steel, light steel, or wood to avoid issues of structural fragility or easy damage caused by inferior materials like thin steel sheets. Factory production environments can strictly control component manufacturing conditions, offering better quality stability than on-site processing and reducing the risk of later maintenance.

Evaluate Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Choose products that align with green building concepts, such as those using recyclable materials like light steel and wood, or high-end models integrating solar panels, insulation materials, and intelligent energy-saving systems to further reduce energy consumption and operational costs.

Consider Costs and Budget The construction cost of ordinary prefabricated houses is typically between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan per square meter, significantly lower than that of traditional high-end residences (over 5,000 yuan per square meter). Choose cost-effective products based on your budget while being cautious of low-priced products that may lead to increased rework costs due to shoddy workmanship.

Verify Brand and Reputation Prioritize mainstream brands in the market (such as CIMC Modular Building Systems and Yazhi Integrated Housing), whose product performance and scenario adaptability have been verified through actual testing. Avoid white-label products from small workshops, which may have quality issues such as using thin steel sheets instead of thick steel and requiring additional welding during installation.

Focus on After-sales Services and Reusability For commercial scenarios, confirm the integrity rate of modules after disassembly and the ease of reassembly to reduce subsequent cost investments. Additionally, require manufacturers to provide customized services such as appearance adjustments and internal layout modifications to extend the product lifecycle.
