Large-Scale Prefabricated Houses
The large-scale applications of prefabricated houses are mainly reflected in three aspects: production, project applications, and exports.
In the production process, prefabricated houses demonstrate efficient large-scale production capabilities. Take the country's first steel-structure modular intelligent production line as an example. It divides a house into six faces, which are produced in parallel on six sub-production lines and then assembled into a complete box at the end. This production method significantly improves production efficiency. The production line can produce 50 prefabricated house boxes per day, which is 10 times the daily output (5 boxes) of similar factories in North America. This large-scale, intelligent production model enables prefabricated houses to quickly meet market demand, providing a solid production foundation for large-scale applications.
In terms of project applications, large-scale projects involving prefabricated houses continue to emerge, showcasing their advantages in actual engineering. For example, in a social housing project in Shenzhen, Guangdong, five residential buildings nearly 100 meters high were assembled from 6,028 concrete modules. Compared with traditional construction methods, the project's completion and delivery time was reduced from 2.5 to 3 years to just 1 year, and on-site labor was reduced by about 50%. This indicates that prefabricated houses can significantly shorten construction periods, reduce labor costs, and improve engineering efficiency in large-scale projects while ensuring building quality, providing an efficient solution for urban construction and social housing supply.
In terms of exports, prefabricated houses are also showing a positive development trend and are popular overseas. According to customs data, in the first four months of 2026, the export value of movable houses in the Guangzhou Customs area reached 1.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.1%. This data shows that Chinese-made prefabricated houses have strong competitiveness in the international market and are favored by overseas customers. With the development of the global construction industry and the increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly construction methods, the export prospects for prefabricated houses are broad. They are expected to further expand their market share internationally and drive the Chinese prefabricated house industry to a higher level.
