Prefabricated modular buildings are constructed using industrialized production methods.
This involves prefabricating some or all components of a building in a factory,
which are then transported to the construction site and assembled through reliable connection techniques.
Advantages of Prefabricated Buildings:
- Not limited by cast-in-place concrete.
- Prefabricated modular building concrete offers excellent surface quality.
- Allows for complex architectural styling.
- Seamlessly integrates with steel components.
- No fire-resistant construction required; no base powder coating needed. Free frame exterior decoration leads to faster construction compared to steel structures.
- Prefabricated exterior wall panels can receive various surface finishing treatments.
- Environmentally friendly construction sites.
- Prefabricated sandwich insulation exterior wall panels are easy to implement, avoiding issues like insulation detachment or damage.
- Prefabrication factories are highly mobile, facilitating efficient component production.
- Requires less on-site labor compared to traditional cast-in-place construction.
How is this type of house assembled?
The following section provides a detailed construction process for those interested.
Completed Front View of the House
First, all materials are prepared in a standardized factory, transported to the construction site, and assembled like building blocks.
▼
At the construction site, the ground is leveled.
▼
Foundation Pit
▼
After compaction and leveling, the basement floor is prepared by first laying a layer of extruded XPS polystyrene foam insulation board, followed by a waterproof and moisture-proof membrane. The upper support consists of double-layered bidirectional steel mesh.
▼
Basement Foundation Slab
Concrete is delivered by transport vehicles and pumped into place.
▼
After the concrete foundation slab solidifies and cures, precast reinforced concrete wall slabs with double-layered cavities are hoisted into place.
▼
These double-layer cavity prefabricated reinforced concrete wall slabs form the basement walls.
▼
On the exterior side of the reinforced concrete basement wall, a layer of light green extruded XPS polystyrene foam insulation board is nailed on. The lower foundation of four concrete columns is also visible.
▼
The light green extruded XPS polystyrene foam insulation board is then covered with a specialized waterproof and moisture-proof membrane.
Finished lighting wells are installed outside the basement window openings.
▼
Construction site for drilling geothermal wells to support ground source heat pump systems.
▼
Prefabricated wooden wall panels are produced in the factory, then lifted and installed on-site.
▼
Interior of a prefabricated modular independent residence.
▼
First floor structure of the prefabricated modular residence.
▼
Roof structure of the prefabricated modular residence.
▼
Layout of indoor water supply (cold and hot water) pipelines and heating pipelines.
▼
Location of the indoor high-voltage distribution panel on the wall.
▼
Indoor low-temperature hot water radiation heating, featuring underfloor heating with PEX-like pipeline lines arranged and fixed on-site. The image shows both traditional vertical radiator heating systems and floor heating indoors.
▼
The top surface of the floor heating pipeline is covered with a specialized concrete ground base layer poured on-site.
▼
The bathroom area is highlighted in light green, indicating waterproof paper-faced gypsum board veneer surfaces, which are then covered with wall tiles.
▼
The light blue areas indicate moisture-proof and waterproof films.
▼
Inside the basement, a prefabricated reinforced concrete staircase section is installed.
▼
This independent villa can be completed in about six weeks.
This is a growing trend in construction.
In the coming years, many homes will likely be built this way — saving time, reducing stress, and ensuring beautiful results.
