Shaoxing Prefabricated Housing

There is a prefabricated housing renovation project in Shaoxing, with the Changcheng Jiaoyuan Community serving as an example of a 'complete demolition and reconstruction' approach.

I. Overview of the Renovation Project The Changcheng Jiaoyuan Community in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, is the first self-initiated renovation project for a prefabricated panel community in the district. Built in the early 1990s, the community features a prefabricated panel structure, consisting of 13 five-story buildings with a total construction area of 15,720 square meters, involving 273 households. Due to the age of the buildings and structural deterioration, the community faces numerous safety hazards and inconveniences, making it a priority for renovation and upgrading.

II. Renovation Method and Content The project adopts a 'complete demolition and reconstruction' approach. Specifically, the original 13 five-story buildings will be demolished, and six new 11-story residential buildings with elevators will be constructed on the same site. The renovated community will implement closed management, with a standard floor height of 3 meters, storage rooms at the bottom, and additional facilities such as elevators, parking lots, and public activity spaces to enhance residents' living quality and convenience. In terms of unit design, the original sizes ranging from 44 to 72 square meters will be moderately expanded, with the largest unit reaching approximately 83 square meters to meet residents' diverse housing needs.

III. Funding Sources and Implementation Entity The project is primarily funded by residents' self-financing, with all funds deposited into a dedicated account and subject to full supervision to ensure transparency and security in fund usage. The project is scheduled to commence in December this year, with the state-owned company under the Yuecheng District Urban Development Group serving as the project implementation entity, and is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy in two years.

IV. Policy Support and Planning Additionally, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, has initiated a bidding process for the preparation of a self-initiated renovation plan for prefabricated panel communities, aiming to provide strong support for the renovation and upgrading of such communities through scientific and reasonable planning.
