Cost of Prefabricated Houses per Square Meter

The cost of prefabricated houses varies significantly depending on the type, materials, and specifications. Below are specific categorized quotes:

I. Overall Cost of Prefabricated Houses

1. Cement Prefabricated Houses: The all-inclusive price for ordinary rural residences in Henan starts at approximately 300 yuan/㎡, but this price usually refers to the rough standard (excluding decoration). If utilities and decoration are included, the actual cost may rise to 800-1000 yuan/㎡.
2. Prefabricated Panel Houses: The overall cost ranges from 300-600 yuan/㎡. Among them, simple panel houses start at a minimum of 300 yuan/㎡, while well-decorated panel houses can reach 600 yuan/㎡.
3. Differences in Structural Types:
   • Light Steel Structures: 1500-2500 yuan/㎡, suitable for rapidly constructed temporary or permanent buildings.
   • Wooden Structures: 2000-3500 yuan/㎡, mostly used for villas or landscape buildings, with higher costs but outstanding environmental friendliness.
   • Concrete Structures: 3000-4000 yuan/㎡, with high strength and durability, suitable for long-term use scenarios.

II. Prices of Prefabricated Panels and Components

1. Prefabricated Panels:
   • Regular Thickness (80mm): 200-400 yuan/㎡, suitable for basic structures such as floors and partitions.
   • Quality Grading of Cement Panels: Ordinary cement panels start at 83 yuan/㎡, medium-quality panels are around 120 yuan/㎡, and high-end solid panels are above 150 yuan/㎡.
   • Comparison Between Hollow and Solid Panels: Hollow panels are approximately 30% cheaper than solid panels but have weaker load-bearing capacity, requiring selection based on usage.
2. Commonly Used Prefabricated Components in Rural Areas:
   • Five-Hole Floor Panels: 18-28 yuan/meter, commonly used for floor separation in rural self-built houses.
   • Cast-in-Place Floor Panels: 225 yuan/㎡, requiring on-site pouring, with higher costs than prefabricated panels but better integrity.
   • 100mm Civil Floor Panels: Approximately 100 yuan/㎡, suitable for floors or roofs of low-rise residences.

III. Factors Affecting Prices

1. Material Costs: Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials such as steel, cement, and wood directly affect the cost of prefabricated components.
2. Process Complexity: Additional processing fees are required for well-decorated and special structures (such as curved or irregular shapes).
3. Regional Differences: Transportation costs and labor fees vary by region, with rural areas potentially having lower costs than cities.
4. Economies of Scale: Bulk purchases or large-scale construction can reduce unit costs.

Tip: Actual quotes should be negotiated with suppliers based on specific needs (such as structural type, decoration standards, and construction environment). It is recommended to prioritize qualified manufacturers and clarify contract terms to avoid additional costs later.
