Prefabricated House Construction Tutorial Images

Admin September 18, 2026

Currently, there is no comprehensive resource directly providing a collection of tutorial images for the complete construction process of prefabricated houses. However, the construction process can be understood through the construction steps and accompanying images of specific cases. The following outlines the key steps and image reference directions for the construction of prefabricated houses, combining the Shenzhen Prison Affordable Housing Project, a South Korean construction team's renovation of a rural house, and a case of building a house with red bricks and prefabricated slabs:

Shenzhen Prison Affordable Housing Project (Prefabricated Shear Wall System)
This project adopts a prefabricated component installation process, with the construction process encompassing 10 core steps. Accompanying images can visually demonstrate technical details:

  1. Surveying and Setting Out: Use a laser positioning instrument to determine the installation positions of components, ensuring precise alignment of axes and elevations. The images show the correspondence between ground marking lines and component outlines.
  2. Reserved Rebar Verification: Check the diameter, spacing, and curvature of the reserved rebars in the prefabricated components. The images display the comparison between the rebars and the design drawings.
  3. Steel Shim Elevation Calibration: Use adjustable steel shims to adjust the verticality of components. The images show workers calibrating the thickness of the shims with a level.
  4. Component Hoisting: Use a tower crane to slowly position the prefabricated exterior wall panels. The images capture the collaboration between the lifting cables and component connection points, as well as the ground command personnel.
  5. Temporary Support Fixation: Install detachable diagonal braces to prevent component overturning. The images show the connection method and angle between the support rods and the walls.
  6. Joint Grouting: Fill the connections between reserved rebars and sleeves with high-strength grout. The images display the grouting equipment, the flow state of the grout, and sealing measures.
  7. Cast-in-Place Layer Construction: Pour concrete on top of the prefabricated components to form an integral structure. The images show formwork support, rebar tying, and concrete vibration processes.

South Korean Construction Team's Renovation of a Rural House (14-Day Main Structure Construction)
This case features the rapid assembly of factory-prefabricated components, with key step images including:

  1. Foundation Treatment: Level the site and pour concrete independent foundations. The images show the matching relationship between the foundation dimensions and the prefabricated components.
  2. Load-Bearing Column and Beam Assembly: Connect factory-prefabricated concrete columns and beams with bolts. The images display the connection node construction and rust prevention treatment.
  3. 5 cm Floor Slab Installation: Install lightweight prefabricated floor slabs and secure them. The images show the slab joint gaps and support methods.
  4. Foam Sealant Application: Fill component gaps with polyurethane foam sealant. The images display the sealing effect after the foam expands.
  5. Secondary Grouting and Rebar Mesh Pouring: Pour fine aggregate concrete at the assembly nodes and lay a rebar mesh to enhance integrity. The images show the concrete surface smoothing process.

Case of Building a House with Red Bricks and Prefabricated Slabs
Although not entirely prefabricated construction, some steps can be referenced:

  1. Main Red Brick Masonry: The images show the brick wall laying method, mortar joint thickness, and constructional column settings.
  2. Prefabricated Slab Roofing: Display the hoisting of prefabricated floor slabs, slab joint treatment, and connection construction with the walls.
