Availability of Prefabricated Houses in Qixian

There are prefabricated houses in Qixian. On December 28, 2024, in a village in Qixian County, Henan Province, a new type of construction method—cement 'prefabricated houses'—is being applied. Here is a detailed introduction:

Structural Features

These prefabricated houses are constructed using a fully reinforced concrete structure. Reinforced concrete structures offer high strength and excellent durability, enabling them to withstand significant loads and provide stable support for the houses. Compared to traditional brick-and-mortar or wooden structures, fully reinforced concrete prefabricated houses have distinct advantages in terms of earthquake and wind resistance, effectively safeguarding the lives and property of occupants.

Construction Method

They are assembled on-site from components pre-fabricated in factories. When producing prefabricated components in factories, advanced production equipment and processes can be utilized to precisely control the dimensions and quality of each component, ensuring they meet design requirements. On the construction site, workers only need to拼接 (assemble) and install the prefabricated components according to the design drawings, greatly simplifying the construction process and reducing the workload and difficulty of on-site construction.

Construction Speed

The construction speed of these prefabricated houses is extremely fast, with the fastest being able to complete a house in just 4 hours. Traditional house construction methods involve multiple stages such as foundation construction, wall building, and roof installation, resulting in a long construction period that often takes several months or even years. The rapid construction feature of prefabricated houses can meet urgent housing needs, such as post-disaster reconstruction and temporary resettlement, providing timely living accommodation for disaster victims.

Price Advantage

The price per square meter is approximately 300+ RMB. This price is relatively affordable, making it an economically viable housing option for families with limited financial resources. Moreover, due to the fast construction speed of prefabricated houses, the construction period can be shortened, reducing labor costs and construction management costs, thereby lowering the overall cost of the house to a certain extent.
