Rural Prefabricated House Cost Table and Diagram

In 2026, the cost of rural prefabricated houses (self-built houses) varies depending on the structural type, regional differences, and construction methods. The cost range for mainstream structures is 760-1800 yuan/㎡, and the total cost needs to be comprehensively calculated based on the house area, decoration standards, and hidden costs.

I. Cost Range of Mainstream Structural Types

1. Brick-Concrete Structure: The common unit price nationwide is 760-1200 yuan/㎡, suitable for 1-3 floors. In Handan, Hebei, it is about 850-1100 yuan/㎡, in Suzhou, Jiangsu, it reaches 1200-1500 yuan/㎡, and in Shan County, Shandong, it is as low as 760-780 yuan/㎡. Its characteristics include wall-bearing, simple construction, and relatively low cost, but limited spatial flexibility.
2. Frame Structure: The common unit price nationwide is 950-1500 yuan/㎡, suitable for 2-4 floors and above. The quotes in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and Handan, Hebei, are 1200-1500 yuan/㎡ and 1100-1400 yuan/㎡ respectively. This structure uses reinforced concrete beams and columns for load-bearing, offering flexible spatial layout and strong seismic performance, but at a higher cost.
3. Light Steel Structure: The common unit price nationwide is 1200-1800 yuan/㎡. In Chengdu, the main body cost is 700-900 yuan/㎡ (additional costs for roofing, partition walls, etc. are required), suitable for 1-3 floors. Its advantages include a short construction period, but attention should be paid to hidden costs.

II. Component Cost Breakdown (Taking a 240㎡ two-story brick-concrete house as an example)

1. Foundation Engineering: 30,000-50,000 yuan for ordinary flat ground. Additional reinforcement is required for soft soil or permafrost areas, which may increase the cost.
2. Main Materials: The amount of steel bars per square meter is 18-30 kg for brick-concrete structures and doubles to 40-60 kg for frame structures. Cement, sand, gravel, and concrete account for 45%-50% of the total cost, and prices fluctuate due to environmental protection policies.
3. Labor Costs: 1300-1800 yuan/㎡ for labor and materials (more expensive for frame structures), 350-500 yuan/㎡ for labor only, 150-200 yuan/㎡ for masonry and plastering, and 300-450 yuan/day for carpenters/steel bar workers.
4. Decoration and Miscellaneous Expenses: Simple decoration costs 50,000-80,000 yuan, and high-quality decoration costs 200,000-300,000 yuan. Ordinary broken bridge aluminum doors and windows cost about 350-500 yuan/㎡, and real stone paint exterior walls cost about 30,000-60,000 yuan (for 240㎡).

III. Total Cost Estimation (Taking a 200㎡ two-story small building as an example)

1. Simple Brick-Concrete Structure (Ordinary Decoration): The main body cost is 250,000-300,000 yuan, and the basic decoration cost is 100,000-150,000 yuan, totaling 350,000-450,000 yuan.
2. Standard Frame Structure (High-Quality Decoration): The main body cost is 350,000-420,000 yuan, and the high-quality decoration cost is 200,000-300,000 yuan, totaling 550,000-700,000 yuan.

IV. Precautions

Regional differences and hidden costs (such as approval and design fees of 3000-8000 yuan, construction rework, etc.) may increase expenses by 10%-20%. It is recommended to plan material procurement in advance to control costs.
