Jiaozhou Prefabricated Houses

The following is information about prefabricated houses in Jiaozhou:

I. Illegal Installation of Prefabricated Cement Panel Houses There was an illegal construction incident involving the unauthorized hoisting of prefabricated cement panel houses in Xinyuan Community on Guangzhou South Road, Jiaozhou City. The buildings in question consisted of five prefabricated cement panel houses with a total area of approximately 200 square meters, and no planning or construction approvals had been obtained. After verification by law enforcement authorities and extensive communication and persuasion efforts, the illegal structures were completely demolished on July 12, 2023, and the idle public space in the community was restored to its original state. Such actions violate relevant provisions of the Urban and Rural Planning Law and constitute illegal activities involving unauthorized changes in land use and building use. Law enforcement authorities have maintained urban planning order and public interests through compulsory demolition.

II. Handling of 41-Year-Old Prefabricated Panel Dangerous Buildings For the 41-year-old prefabricated panel buildings in Jiaozhou City, the handling process strictly follows legal procedures:

1. Dangerous Building Assessment: Professional institutions conduct safety assessments of the buildings and classify them as Grade C (partially dangerous buildings) or Grade D (entirely dangerous buildings) in accordance with the Standards for Dangerous Building Assessment.
2. Classification and Handling:
   • Grade C Dangerous Buildings: Reinforcement and repair measures are taken to eliminate local safety hazards and extend the service life of the buildings.
   • Grade D Dangerous Buildings or Buildings Not Meeting Seismic Standards: These are prioritized for renovation or demolition plans, such as promoting original-site reconstruction projects to ensure the safety of residents.
3. Compensation and Resettlement: Regardless of the handling method, building owners are entitled to reasonable compensation in accordance with the law, including compensation for building value, relocation expenses, and temporary resettlement fees, to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of residents.

III. Repair of Prefabricated Panel Roofs of Old Bungalows There are a large number of old bungalows over two or three decades old in Jiaozhou City and its surrounding areas, and their roofs generally use prefabricated panel structures. Due to the crude construction techniques in the early years, low-quality waterproofing materials, and the coastal climate of Qingdao, these buildings often suffer from problems such as bulging and cracking of roofing membranes and powdering and water leakage of the base layer. Ordinary repair teams often fail to achieve lasting results due to a lack of understanding of the structural characteristics of old bungalows, resulting in high rework rates. However, professional teams such as Louzhang Xiulou (Shandong) Building Repair Group can systematically solve problems such as roof aging and water leakage through targeted techniques and technologies, extending the service life of the buildings and enhancing living safety.
