Prefabricated Assembly House Budget
Admin September 18, 2026
The budget for prefabricated assembly houses varies significantly due to factors such as region, house type, scale, and assembly rate, with comprehensive quotes typically ranging from 1200 to 3500 yuan/㎡, depending on project specifics.

I. Impact of Regional Differences on Budget
Material costs, construction expenses, and policy subsidies vary notably across regions.
- Jiyang Region: The comprehensive quote is approximately 2000-3500 yuan/㎡ (including foundation and decoration), with prefabricated component costs being the main part (floor slabs at 800-1200 yuan/㎡, beams and columns at 1500-2000 yuan/㎡). Transportation and installation fees, as well as design and technical service fees, need to be calculated separately. Policy subsidies range from 1% to 3% of the construction cost (up to 500,000 yuan).
- Shanghe Region: Residential buildings average 1200-1800 yuan/㎡ (3-5 floors, 100-150㎡), while commercial buildings range from 1500-2200 yuan/㎡ (with costs increasing by 20%-30% for high-rise projects). Construction scale affects unit prices, with projects under 1000㎡ costing approximately 1800-2200 yuan/㎡ and those over 3000㎡ dropping to 1300-1600 yuan/㎡. Policy subsidies are 80-120 yuan per square meter.
II. Influence of House Type and Assembly Rate
House type and assembly rate directly determine material usage and construction complexity.
- Prefabricated Concrete Mid-Rise Residential Buildings: At an assembly rate of 20%, the price is about 2000 yuan/㎡; at 40%, it is approximately 2150 yuan/㎡; and at 50%-60%, it stabilizes at 2200 yuan/㎡.
- Commercial Buildings: In Shanghe, high-rise commercial projects cost 20%-30% more than low-rise residential buildings, with unit prices reaching 1500-2200 yuan/㎡.
III. Key Expenses and Potential Risks
Budgets must clarify whether all key aspects are included to avoid underestimating costs and causing overruns.
- Essential Expenses: Prefabricated component costs, transportation and installation fees, design and technical service fees, foundation, and decoration costs.
- Potential Omissions: Low initial quotes may not include transportation (especially for long distances), foundation treatment (such as reinforcement for soft soil), or hidden works (pipeline embedding).
- Policy Price Differences: Subsidy standards vary by city, such as 100 yuan/㎡ in Shanghai, requiring budget adjustments based on local policies.
IV. Budget Optimization Suggestions
- Economies of Scale: Data from Shanghe shows that larger construction scales result in lower unit prices, with costs for projects over 3000㎡ decreasing by 15%-25%.
- Assembly Rate Selection: Increasing the assembly rate from 20% to 40% raises the unit price by only 7.5% while significantly improving structural performance and construction efficiency, necessitating a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis.
- Local Consultation: It is advisable to contact local prefabricated construction companies for detailed quotes, clarify the scope of included expenses, and verify policy subsidy application conditions.
