Outsourced Prefabricated Housing

Outsourced prefabricated housing is a construction model where building modules are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the site for assembly, featuring high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness, and is becoming a new trend in the global construction market.

Production Model: Outsourced prefabricated housing breaks down buildings into independent modules, such as ceilings, floors, and plumbing and electrical systems, which are prefabricated on factory assembly lines and then transported to the site for assembly. For example, the CSCEC Hailong Intelligent Construction Industrial Park in Shenzhen, Guangdong, can deliver 20,000 to 30,000 modules annually, demonstrating its large-scale production capacity.

Cost and Efficiency Advantages:

• Significantly Lower Prices Than Traditional Construction: Taking a 70-square-meter fully furnished prefabricated house as an example, when exported from China to the United States, the total landed cost is approximately $28,700 (about 200,000 RMB), much lower than the cost of traditional construction in the local area.
• Substantially Shorter Construction Periods: Traditional construction takes 2.5 to 3 years, while prefabricated housing projects can reduce the construction period to 1 year, with a reduction in on-site labor by about 50%. In some cases, 63 modules shipped from China to the United Kingdom were assembled on-site in just two weeks, showing a significant increase in efficiency.

Wide Range of Application Scenarios:

• Strong Overseas Demand: Exported to more than 150 countries and regions, including the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Papua New Guinea, for use in hotels, senior living apartments, dormitories, office buildings, and data centers.
• Adaptability to Special Scenarios: Such as the popular space capsules and apple houses in Russian scenic areas, suitable for environments like snowfields, lakesides, and forests, meeting diverse needs.

Technical Support:

• Highly Industrialized: Utilizing welding robots, automated vertical warehouses, and intelligent production lines, the construction period is reduced by more than 60% compared to traditional construction.
• Quality Control: Each module comes with a detailed “ID card” (project name, product model, production date, etc.), with steel bar positioning accuracy measured in millimeters, ensuring stable quality.

Market Data: China's prefabricated building exports increased from $1.472 billion in 2015 to $4.339 billion in 2025, with a growth rate of 45% in the first quarter of 2026. According to Shenzhen Customs data, in the first four months of 2026, the export value of movable houses by enterprises nationwide through Shenzhen ports reached 1.68 billion RMB, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, indicating huge market potential.
