Zhejiang Prefabricated House Construction Plan

The Zhejiang Prefabricated House Construction Plan covers three main directions: prefabricated interior decoration, fully prefabricated rural houses, and the 'original demolition and reconstruction' of dilapidated residential areas in Shaoxing. The details are as follows:

I. Pilot Plan for Prefabricated Interior Decoration

The 'Pilot Work Plan for Prefabricated Interior Decoration' issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development defines its core principles as dry construction methods, integrated prefabrication of components, separation of piping and structural elements, and detachability and recyclability. The pilot scope covers four prefecture-level cities, including Hangzhou and Ningbo, as well as two counties (cities, districts), namely Longgang City and Xiuzhou District. The focus is on promoting the plan in affordable housing (such as public rental housing and shared ownership housing) and public buildings (such as hospitals and schools). The tasks include:

• Implementation of Demonstration Projects: Form replicable experiences through pilot projects funded by the government.
• Improvement of Technical Standards: Participate in the compilation of design and construction standard atlases to establish a full-process technical system.
  This plan reduces on-site wet construction through industrialized production, improving construction efficiency and environmental protection, and is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for construction duration and quality.

II. Promotion Plan for Fully Prefabricated Rural Houses

Zhejiang Province is focusing on promoting fully prefabricated rural houses in rural areas, characterized by:

• Prefabrication of Components: Core components such as walls and floor slabs are standardized and produced in factories, then assembled on-site to shorten construction periods.
• Diverse Structural Types: Mainly featuring light steel structures (lightweight and earthquake-resistant) and concrete shear wall structures (durable).
• Policy Support: As a national pilot province for steel structure prefabricated residential buildings, it provides financial subsidies and housing construction loans to reduce the cost of rural housing construction.
  These houses are suitable for rural areas with complex geological conditions or high requirements for construction speed, but attention must be paid to transportation conditions and on-site assembly accuracy control.

III. New Regulations for the 'Original Demolition and Reconstruction' of Dilapidated Residential Areas in Shaoxing

The Yuecheng District of Shaoxing City has issued a special plan for the renewal of prefabricated panel residential areas, with core contents including:

• Renewal Methods:
  • In-situ Self-financed Renewal: Homeowners jointly contribute funds, requiring the consent of more than 60% of homeowners.
  • Off-site Trade-in for New Housing: Replace existing housing stock, with property rights acquired by the implementing entity.
• Priority Targets: Residential areas built before 2000, identified as C/D-grade dilapidated housing, lacking independent kitchens and bathrooms, with geological hazards, or with mature construction conditions.
• Process Standardization: Requires steps such as application, solicitation of opinions, and 100% homeowner consent to ensure transparent decision-making.
  This plan balances the responsibilities of the government and homeowners through the 'self-financed renewal' model, suitable for areas with urgent needs for old residential area renovation, but requires solutions to issues such as cost-sharing and property rights coordination.
