Mobile Prefabricated Housing

Admin September 17, 2026

Mobile prefabricated housing involves dividing buildings into modules, manufacturing them in factories, and then transporting them to the site for assembly. It has developed well in China and has become popular overseas, with a variety of brands, materials, styles, and uses, including new energy types.

Overseas Application

Chinese modular buildings (prefabricated houses) continue to be popular overseas. For example, a British merchant purchased Chinese-made modular elderly care apartments. The 63 modules were shipped from a Chinese factory and, upon arrival at a British port, were assembled on-site in just two weeks. Another example is a Papua New Guinean merchant who purchased 84 modules. After more than a month of ocean transport, these modules were transformed into a fully functional hotel upon arrival. This demonstrates that Chinese prefabricated mobile housing has advantages such as rapid installation and adaptability to different needs overseas, meeting the requirements of overseas customers for fast building delivery and diverse functions.

Domestic Enterprise Situation

Many domestic enterprises are engaged in businesses related to prefabricated mobile housing. For instance, Foshan Hege Steel Structure Integrated Housing Co., Ltd., established in 2005, has a factory area of over 30,000 square meters, with a production plant area of more than 25,000 square meters and total assets exceeding 120 million yuan. It is a comprehensive private sole-proprietorship enterprise integrating R&D, design, production, marketing, and services. It focuses on the development of steel structure materials, the production and installation of light steel movable houses, and panel production. Its main products include light steel villas, prefabricated houses, and container movable houses.

Product Features

Prefabricated mobile housing comes in various brands, such as Baitai, Hongzong, Yijia, and many others. The materials include sandwich panels, steel structures, and color-coated steel. The styles include light steel movable houses, assembled types, and modular types, among others. The uses cover worker dormitories, construction sites, scenic spots, and outdoor areas. In addition, there are new energy mobile houses that, in addition to the advantages of factory prefabrication, can generate their own electricity, offering convenience and energy efficiency. There are multiple styles to choose from, and the interior layout can be freely customized. They are available starting from five-digit prices, meeting the needs of different customers for environmental protection and personalization.
