How are Zhejiang Prefabricated Houses Priced?

Admin September 18, 2026

The pricing of prefabricated houses in Zhejiang varies depending on the nature of the project and the specific type. Here is a detailed breakdown:

I. Self-funded Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas Taking Zhejiang University New Village in Gongshu District, Hangzhou as an example, when residents raise funds for original demolition and reconstruction, the pricing standard is divided into three parts, with the reconstruction of the original area priced at 1,350 yuan per square meter. Such projects typically involve joint funding from residents, with the costs mainly used for the reconstruction of the main structure of the house, excluding interior decoration or upgrades to supporting facilities.

II. Compensation for Demolition of Prefabricated Panel Houses In Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the compensation standard for prefabricated panel houses built before 2000 is 2,800 yuan per square meter, which is 16.7% higher than that for ordinary brick-concrete houses. The compensation amount is usually determined by the government based on a comprehensive assessment of the house's structure, service life, and local housing prices, aiming to safeguard residents' rights and interests and promote urban renewal.

III. Construction of Temporary Panel Houses

  1. Basic Types and Prices

    • Single-story K-type panel houses (simple temporary houses): 120-180 yuan per square meter, suitable for short-term office or storage on construction sites.
    • Double-story residential panel houses (with mezzanines and independent spaces): 200-350 yuan per square meter, meeting the needs of multiple occupants and commonly found in construction site dormitories.
    • Container panel houses: 15,000-30,000 yuan per unit, used for long-term projects or emergency scenarios due to their sturdy materials and strong mobility.
  2. Impact of Material Quality

    • Color steel plate thickness: The unit price for the ordinary 0.3mm version is 100-150 yuan per square meter, while the 0.5mm thickened version costs 180-250 yuan per square meter.
    • Steel anti-rust treatment: Hot-dip galvanized steel has a lifespan 3-5 years longer than cold-dip galvanized steel, but its cost increases by 15%-20%.
  3. Costs for Supporting Facilities

    • Door and window installation: 200-300 yuan per room for standard doors and windows.
    • Floor laying: 50-80 yuan per square meter for composite flooring.
    • Water and electricity renovation: 500-1,000 yuan per building for simple water and electricity installation.
  4. Transportation and Installation Costs

    • Transportation fees: 500-800 yuan per trip within 30 kilometers within the province, with additional charges based on distance for trips exceeding 100 kilometers.
    • Installation fees: 80-120 yuan per square meter in major cities like Hangzhou and Ningbo, with potentially lower costs in smaller counties.
  5. Adjustments for Project Duration and Scale

    • The unit price for panel houses under 20 square meters per building is 10%-15% higher than that for contiguous projects (more than 10 buildings).
    • A 20% rush fee is required for projects with tight deadlines.

Summary: The pricing of prefabricated houses in Zhejiang requires a comprehensive assessment based on the project's nature, material selection, and supporting facility needs. Residents can choose the appropriate type according to their actual usage (such as self-funded renovation, temporary residence, or demolition compensation) and pay close attention to the impact of material quality, transportation distance, and project duration requirements on the total cost.
