Prefabricated Housing Manufacturing

Prefabricated housing manufacturing is a construction form that involves industrial production of building components and on-site assembly, with modular construction being a more integrated model. Details are as follows:

Manufacturing Model: Prefabricated housing, also known as prefabricated assembled construction, with modular construction as a more integrated model within it, breaks down buildings into independent modules. These modules are manufactured in factories and then transported to construction sites for assembly.

Component Production: It covers prefabricated products such as beams, slabs, walls, and columns, including prefabricated concrete structures and steel structures. On factory assembly lines, ceilings, walls, and waterproof layers in bathrooms of houses are prefabricated. Scattered components are produced separately first and then sent to the final assembly station for overall assembly.

Technical Requirements: The design of modular buildings requires extreme meticulousness. The position of each steel bar must be precisely located, with errors and precision controlled in millimeters. Each prefabricated 'building block' has a detailed 'ID card' containing information such as the project name, product model, and production date.

Advantages and Characteristics:

• Short Construction Period: Compared to traditional construction, the construction period of modular buildings can be shortened by more than 60%. For example, in a social housing project in Shenzhen, Guangdong, the completion and delivery time was reduced from 2.5 to 3 years to 1 year.
• Controllable Quality: Most construction processes are completed in factories, reducing uncertainties in on-site construction.
• Energy-saving and Environmentally Friendly: It significantly reduces noise, dust, construction waste, and traffic congestion at construction sites, which are nuisance factors. Regions such as Fujian Province have established industrial bases through policy support, achieving a reduction in construction waste of over 70%.
• Easy Maintenance: Modular design facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

Application Scenarios: The application scenarios of prefabricated housing continue to expand, including high-end office buildings, hotels, schools, modular data centers, and social housing. For example, a social housing project in Shenzhen, Guangdong, was assembled from 6,028 concrete modules and has accommodated more than 2,000 households.

Overseas Markets: Chinese prefabricated housing has gained increasing recognition in overseas markets due to its advantages of rapid delivery, environmental protection, energy efficiency, strong adaptability, and controllable quality. In the first four months of 2026, the export value of movable houses in the Guangzhou Customs area reached 1.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.1%. In the first seven months of this year, the Shatian Customs under the Huangpu Customs supervised the export of 23 batches of modular houses with a total value of 548 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.3 times.
