Rural Prefabricated House Renovation
Rural prefabricated house renovation can be approached from aspects such as decoration renovation, adopting prefabricated construction models, and carrying out demolition and renovation in accordance with policies.
For old rural houses with dark and damp prefabricated panel structures, decoration renovation can be carried out. For example, renovating the exterior facade can enhance the appearance of the house while also improving its thermal insulation and heat-retention properties to a certain extent by selecting appropriate materials and designs. Installing doors and windows is also an important measure. Replacing them with those having good sealing and thermal insulation properties can effectively block the invasion of external moisture and cold air, enhancing the comfort of the house.
Under the guidance of the 'dual carbon' goals, the prefabricated construction model has become an excellent choice for rural house renovation. It takes factory-prefabricated reinforced concrete modules as the core and is quickly assembled on-site. This model has significant advantages. On the one hand, it greatly shortens the construction period and can quickly provide comfortable living environments for rural residents. On the other hand, it reduces on-site construction waste and dust pollution, aligning with the requirements of green and low-carbon development. Moreover, prefabricated rural houses have strong earthquake and wind resistance capabilities and offer a pleasant living experience with warmth in winter and coolness in summer. From the perspective of the entire building life cycle, they have high cost-effectiveness and sustainability. There are relevant practical cases in Shenzhou City, Hebei Province, providing reference for other regions.
The national new policy introduced in 2025 brings renovation opportunities for prefabricated panel houses. The policy precisely targets two types of high-risk houses, namely D-grade dilapidated houses and prefabricated panel houses built before the 1980s. These houses are given priority for demolition, including those with damaged main structures, those unable to withstand natural disasters, and those affecting urban planning. For the demolition of prefabricated panel houses, the government offers multiple compensation methods. The monetary compensation plan is no less than 110% of the market price of surrounding commercial houses, safeguarding the economic interests of residents. Property rights exchange innovates the traditional resettlement method and provides residents with more choices. The house voucher resettlement system and others also offer flexible resettlement avenues for residents, who can choose appropriate renovation methods according to their own needs.
