Purchase of Prefabricated Houses

Admin September 17, 2026

Prefabricated houses can be obtained through various channels, including domestic purchases and overseas cross-border e-commerce purchases. Details are as follows:

Domestic Purchase Channels:

  • Prefabricated Concrete Houses in Rural Henan: These houses are constructed with a full reinforced concrete structure, offering high stability and durability. For example, a house of about 200 square meters costs only 300 yuan per square meter, totaling just 60,000 yuan for the entire house. This price is relatively affordable, making it suitable for consumers with limited budgets. However, these houses may have a relatively traditional design style and functional configuration, potentially failing to meet the needs of consumers with higher expectations for living quality.
  • Online Purchase of Prefabricated Houses on Pinduoduo: On the Pinduoduo platform, consumers can find a wide variety of prefabricated houses, such as fully furnished luxury villas and sunrooms with large floor-to-ceiling windows. These houses are mostly container houses made of steel, aluminum alloy, and fiberglass. Prices range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan depending on the area, and consumers can customize the decoration according to their needs. After completion, merchants will pack the houses and deliver them by express, using flatbed trucks or heavy-duty air freight for transportation. Consumers can move in after验收 (acceptance inspection) without any issues, making the purchase process relatively convenient.

Overseas Purchase Channels (Through Chinese Cross-border E-commerce):

  • Purchase on Alibaba.com: The average price of ordinary mobile houses is about 6,000 to 10,000 US dollars per set. Including costs such as tariffs, sea freight, customs clearance, inland transportation, and hoisting, the total landed cost usually does not exceed 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, which is one-third to one-half of the cost of a house of the same area in the United States. The top three buyer origins are the United States (accounting for over 20%), Australia, and Mexico, with major markets also covering Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, and other places. The production cycle for the houses is 25 to 30 days, and sea freight to the United States takes 45 to 50 days, resulting in a total delivery time of less than three months. After receiving the house, consumers only need to find a flat surface to unfold the house, purchase beds, sofas, and appliances, and connect the water and electricity supplies to move in, making the operation relatively simple.
