Illustrated Steps for Landing Prefabricated Houses

Admin September 18, 2026

The illustrated steps for landing prefabricated houses are as follows:

1. Customized Production, Modular Packaging
The process of landing prefabricated houses begins with customized production. Based on the specific needs of overseas customers, including house type, style, and functional configuration, factories conduct modular mass production. All modules adopt a unified coding system during manufacturing, facilitating subsequent classification inspection and logistics management. Meanwhile, modules undergo rigorous waterproof, anti-corrosion, and anti-seismic treatments to ensure they can withstand the complex environment of ocean shipping, such as salt spray corrosion and bumps and vibrations. The size design of modules must precisely match international standard shipping containers to maximize space utilization and reduce transportation costs.

2. Full-Vehicle Transportation, Direct to Port
Completed modules are transferred to domestic ports via dedicated flatbed trucks. Since module sizes have been pre-adapted to container specifications, no additional disassembly or adjustment is required during transportation, and they can be directly loaded. This design not only reduces time consumption in loading and unloading but also avoids space waste caused by size mismatches, further compressing logistics costs. The full-vehicle transportation mode ensures seamless connection of modules from the factory to the port, laying the foundation for subsequent ocean shipping.

3. Ocean Shipping, Global Distribution
After being loaded onto ocean-going cargo ships at the port, modules embark on journeys to more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. Shipping times vary depending on the destination: approximately one week for Southeast Asia, about 20 days for the Middle East, and around one month for Europe and the Americas. The entire logistics system supports real-time tracking, allowing customers to monitor the transportation status of modules through digital platforms, including key information such as location and estimated arrival time, ensuring supply chain transparency and controllability.

4. On-Site Assembly, Rapid Formation
Upon arrival at overseas ports, modules are directly transported to construction sites. The assembly process does not require traditional steps such as bricklaying, plastering, or pipeline laying. Instead, cranes are used to lift modules to designated positions, where structural connections are completed through interface docking, and water and electricity systems are connected. Taking the example of 63 sets of Chinese prefabricated elderly care apartments purchased by the UK, the entire assembly process from landing to completion took only 14 days, demonstrating the efficiency of modular construction. This 'LEGO-style' assembly method significantly shortens the construction period while reducing reliance on on-site skilled workers.
