Xiangyang Prefabricated Assembly-type Housing

Admin September 18, 2026

Xiangyang has implemented comprehensive and detailed measures regarding prefabricated assembly-type housing, covering aspects such as implementation scope, exemptions, control of key links, and safeguard measures.

In terms of implementation scope, 100% of newly constructed housing construction projects in the central urban area of Xiangyang (including the streets of Xiangcheng District, Fancheng District, and Xiangzhou District, as well as Dongjin New City, High-tech Zone, Yuliangzhou, and Xiangyang Free Trade Zone) are required to adopt prefabricated construction. Municipal engineering projects invested in by the government and state-owned enterprises should use prefabricated components such as box girders, piers, inspection wells, pipe segments, and box culverts, and gradually expand the scope of application.

At the same time, Xiangyang has also clarified exemption scenarios. There are six situations where the requirements for prefabricated construction do not apply, including civil buildings and ancillary facilities of construction projects with a total planned floor area of less than 3,000 square meters; concrete-structured residential buildings exceeding 100 meters in height or construction projects exceeding the maximum applicable height specified in relevant technical standards for prefabricated construction; independently set non-residential supporting buildings within residential building projects (such as sales offices, activity centers, kindergartens, and shops), provided that the total above-ground floor area of the supporting buildings does not exceed 10,000 square meters and the above-ground floor area of a single building does not exceed 3,000 square meters; independently set supporting living facilities and R&D buildings within industrial building projects, provided that the total above-ground floor area of the independent non-production buildings does not exceed 10,000 square meters and the above-ground floor area of a single building does not exceed 3,000 square meters; independent public buildings within public building and municipal facility projects, such as schools, kindergartens, commercial buildings, office buildings, and pump houses, with a total above-ground floor area not exceeding 5,000 square meters or an above-ground floor area of a single building not exceeding 3,000 square meters; and emergency rescue projects and confidential projects determined by people's governments at or above the county level.

In terms of controlling key links, Xiangyang strictly regulates land transfer and planning approval, construction drawing review, and completion acceptance to ensure the effective implementation of requirements for prefabricated construction.

Regarding safeguard measures, Xiangyang has introduced incentive policies such as floor area ratio rewards and commendations through official notices. It also focuses on cultivating green and intelligent construction enterprises, supports component production enterprises in researching and developing advanced technologies, encourages enterprises to integrate the industrial chain, and builds modern industrial parks for the construction industry.
