Qingdao Secondary Prefabricated Housing

The core policies and procedures for the secondary prefabrication of housing in Qingdao (targeting prefabricated panel housing that fails to meet seismic resistance standards) are as follows:

I. Scope of Application and Conditions

Qingdao includes prefabricated panel housing with seismic performance that does not meet current requirements in the pilot scope for independent renewal of old urban housing. The following conditions must be met simultaneously:

1. Land and Property Requirements: The housing must be located on state-owned land within the urban built-up area and must have been legally constructed and obtained a real estate ownership certificate.
2. Structural Safety Standards: The housing must be identified by a professional institution as failing to meet seismic resistance standards (e.g., cracks in prefabricated panels, aging connection nodes), posing safety hazards.
3. Owner Consent: The owners of the housing must reach a consensus through joint consultation or entrust a legal entity to uniformly promote the renovation.

II. Implementation Path and Procedures

1. Renovation Plan Preparation:
   • The owners of the housing may act as the construction entity or entrust a qualified legal entity to prepare the renovation plan.
   • The plan must specify building structure reinforcement, functional improvements (e.g., adding elevators, improving floor plans), and the addition of public service facilities (e.g., community activity rooms).
2. Government Review and Public Announcement:
   • The renovation plan must undergo a joint review by the district (city) government, focusing on structural safety, planning compliance, and consistency of owner opinions.
   • After approval, the plan will be publicly announced. Only if there are no objections during the announcement period can the project proceed to the next stage.
3. Permit Application and Construction:
   • Planning permits, construction permits, and other relevant documents must be obtained based on the review opinions.
   • During construction, strict adherence to seismic design standards is required to ensure effective connection between new structures (e.g., concrete shear walls) and the original prefabricated panels.
4. Inspection and Registration:
   • Upon completion, the housing and construction department will organize a joint inspection, focusing on the improvement of seismic performance.
   • After passing the inspection, the owners may apply for an updated real estate ownership certificate, specifying the newly added building area and its purpose.

III. Support Policies and Incentives

1. Flexible Management of Building Area:
   • Appropriate increases in building area (e.g., expansion of the original floor plan, addition of public spaces) are allowed, subject to compliance with regional planning capacity requirements.
2. Flexible Adjustment of Planning Indicators:
   • Building spacing, sunlight exposure, and other indicators are controlled at levels not lower than the current status to avoid neighbor disputes caused by renovation.
3. Financial Support:
   • Owners may withdraw housing provident fund for original demolition and reconstruction to reduce financial pressure.
   • The government provides financial subsidies or tax and fee reductions for eligible projects (specific policies are subject to the latest regulations).

For newly built prefabricated housing or other scenarios, currently available public information only provides market quotes (e.g., unit price of cement prefabricated housing ranges from 260-360 yuan/square meter) without specifying policy support or approval procedures. It is recommended to directly consult the Qingdao Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau for targeted guidance.
