Prefabricated Panel Houses Can Be Insured

Prefabricated panel houses can be insured. Details are provided below regarding pilot programs in different regions and disaster compensation:

Pilot Program in Xihu District, Nanchang City

In its efforts to advance housing insurance pilot programs, Xihu District in Nanchang City has served as a pioneer, adopting a "comprehensive insurance + dynamic monitoring" model. This model provides comprehensive insurance coverage for dilapidated houses, including those made of prefabricated panels. The insurance plan covers multiple aspects: it not only addresses property damage to the houses—where insurers will provide compensation in accordance with the contract if the prefabricated panel houses are damaged due to accidents or natural disasters—but also includes temporary relocation expenses. If the insured house becomes uninhabitable due to an insured event and the insured needs to find temporary shelter, reasonable expenses incurred will be covered by the insurance. Additionally, it covers emergency reinforcement and repair costs; expenses for timely reinforcement and repairs in the event of urgent safety hazards to the house are also within the scope of coverage. This pilot program fully demonstrates that prefabricated panel houses can be included in the insurance protection system.

Pilot Program in Jiaxing City

The rural housing "insurance + service" pilot program launched in Jiaxing City also does not exclude rural houses with prefabricated panel structures. This pilot program manages the safety of rural housing through the "insurance + service" approach, focusing on providing protection against major risks such as the complete collapse of houses. This means that rural houses with prefabricated panel structures can receive corresponding financial compensation in accordance with insurance contracts when facing severe situations like complete collapse, helping farmers restore their lives and rebuild their houses, and reflecting the insurability of prefabricated panel houses in the field of rural housing insurance.

Disaster Compensation

If a prefabricated panel house is damaged by disasters such as earthquakes and the homebuyer has purchased housing insurance, they can file a claim with the insurance company in accordance with the contract. Earthquakes, as severe natural disasters, have a tremendous destructive force on houses, and prefabricated panel houses may suffer varying degrees of damage in earthquakes. When homebuyers have purchased housing insurance that includes coverage for natural disasters such as earthquakes in advance, they can submit a claim application to the insurance company after a disaster occurs, provided that the claim conditions specified in the insurance contract are met, and receive corresponding financial compensation for house repair or reconstruction.
