Korean Prefabricated Assembled Houses

Korean prefabricated assembled houses are a form of architecture quickly assembled through modular prefabrication and on-site hoisting, featuring high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and fine quality.

Construction Methods and Processes

Taking rural prefabricated houses in South Korea as an example, the construction process is quite systematic. First, the foundation is leveled and a cushion layer is poured. After clearing weeds and leveling the foundation, foundation pits are excavated, and white plastic sheets are laid to prevent moisture loss from the concrete. Then, a foundation without steel reinforcement is poured. After the concrete solidifies, anchor plates are installed, and a mobile crane is used to install prefabricated foundation piles weighing about 5 tons. After that, beams are installed like building blocks, adjusted with horizontal measurements, and fixed with nuts. The gaps are filled with foam, and the nut-fixing points are sealed with cement. Finally, soil is backfilled and the foundation is poured to complete the foundation frame structure.

Characteristics of Integrated Houses

All components of integrated houses are prefabricated in factories and designed with an assembly-type approach. Light steel components are connected with bolts, facilitating disassembly, movement, and reinstallation with low losses. With mechanized installation, three workers can assemble a 200-square-meter house in three days, with a construction period only 10%-30% of that of traditional building methods. The quality is more refined, with error losses transitioning from the 'centimeter-level' of traditional houses to the 'millimeter-level'. The appearance is aesthetically pleasing and variable, generally using colored steel sheets for the roof and exterior walls, with colors that can be freely matched. These houses are waterproof and fireproof, with thermal insulation and strong earthquake resistance, easily withstanding an 8.5-magnitude earthquake. The building materials can be recycled and reused, making them more environmentally friendly and energy-saving. In the future, they can fully utilize solar, wind, and geothermal energy to form self-sufficient green and environmentally friendly houses. However, their service life is relatively short, with a maximum of 20 to 30 years.

Advantages of Zero-Boundary Wooden Houses

Zero-boundary wooden houses are quite popular in South Korea, adopting a fully assembled construction mode, namely factory prefabrication + on-site assembly, reducing the construction period from six months to 30 days. Its design team provides customized designs to meet the requirements of South Koreans for 'both good looks and practicality'. Using sustainable wood and low-energy design aligns with the environmental protection concept of South Koreans. The factory price plus one night's sea freight is 30% cheaper than construction in South Korea, offering high cost-effectiveness.
