Prefabricated housing 

Prefabricated building, is the use of industrial production method to build the building, is also the part or all of the building components prefabricated in the factory, and then transported to the construction site will be assembled through a reliable connection to build the house. Be called industrial residence or industrial residence in Euramerican and Japan.

China's integrated housing can be traced back to the 1980s, when China introduced integrated housing from Japan and built hundreds of low-rise villas with light steel structure. Then in the 1990s, several foreign companies entered the domestic market and built several multi-storey light steel integrated residential buildings in Beijing, Shanghai and other places. It is only in recent years that the integrated building business has been gradually developed on a large scale. At present, a preliminary system has been formed in research and development, design and manufacturing, construction and installation in China.

What factors drive the development of the industry?

1. Worker shortages and rising labor costs
In recent years, China's fertility rate has decreased, the aging society is coming, and the advantage of demographic dividend has been lost. At the same time, with the development of the Internet industry, more young labor force engaged in express delivery, takeout and other emerging industries. This has made it harder and more expensive to hire construction workers. Compared with the traditional construction method, the assembly integrated building uses fine division of labor to greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor demand. And factory prefabricated production can give full play to scale effect, so as to gain cost advantage in the competitive environment of rising labor costs.

2. Environmental protection and energy saving

In recent years, the demand of social environmental protection is increasingly prominent, the voice of protecting wood, reducing the discharge of sewage waste gas and construction waste is increasing day by day, the building materials of steel structure and its buildings have natural advantages in this respect.

3. Economic efficiency

The domestic economy has entered the current stage of steady growth after the end of ultra-high-speed growth, so enterprises begin to pursue a more efficient economic organization form. To shorten the construction period and accelerate the business turnover is the common demand of many enterprises, and integrated housing is a good solution.

4. Government incentive policies

Prefabricated buildings are encouraged by the government and supported by many policies. In fact, the government introduced a "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in fabricated building action plan" and the State Council general office on guidance of vigorously developing the prefabricated construction "policy guidance, such as in the general direction has been clear about the industry development goals, by 2022 the national prefabricated construction accounted for 15% of new buildings, the basic requirements in more than 30% by 2025. On concrete ground level, the government also introduced a practical policy at all levels, both in view of the development of builders, demand for new development request rate have assemble, and to conform to the requirements of enterprises to provide such as tax breaks or one-off reward incentive policy, there are also aimed at consumers, in buying prefabricated housing mortgage preferential policies, etc.
