Prefabricated steel house come in a wide variety of types and offer highly customizable space solutions. They are widely used in rural villa complexes, affordable housing, high-end custom estates, pop-up malls, modular hotels, industrial park office buildings, factory construction sites, 48-hour assembly quarantine pods, post-disaster reconstruction communities, desert oil field camps, and island eco-resorts, among other applications.
Prefabricated Steel House Classification
Prefabricated steel houses are composed of galvanized frames, color-coated sandwich wall panels, color-coated roof panels, bamboo plywood flooring, galvanized/aluminum alloy/stainless steel doors and windows, electrical systems, and accessories. House dimensions typically range from 20 to 40 feet. Wanzhi Group offers various forms of prefabricated houses, including double-wing extensions, folding designs, and single-side extensions.
Single-unit Steel Structure Houses
- Definition: An independent steel structure unit with a compact space (18–76 m²/10–40 ft).
- Applications: Dormitories, resort hotels, street-side mini-stores, single-person offices, small tool sheds, and other small-space requirements.
Multi-unit Modular Houses
- Definition: Two or more steel structure units combined horizontally (side-by-side), vertically (stacked), or offset to form flexible, expandable larger spaces.
- Suitable for: office buildings, factory office areas, and row steel-structured residential buildings.
Modular Cluster Houses
- Definition: Composed of dozens or hundreds of steel structure modules connected by corridors and staircases, forming a complete building system with scalability and systematization, requiring unified design (water/electricity/fire protection/traffic flow).
- Suitable for: hotels, schools, hospitals, and other large-scale projects, suitable for long-term use in public/commercial projects.
Prefabricated Steel House for Sale
Wanzi Group offers a variety of prefabricated steel houses, including single-story economical residential units, mobile office pods, scenic area hotels, factory office areas/employee dormitories, two-story/three-story villas, townhouses, commercial complexes, and more. Wanzhi‘s prefabricated houses are delivered with integrated building envelope systems (wall panels, roofing), plumbing and electrical systems, and interior finishes (ceiling, flooring), allowing them to be ready for use upon arrival at the site after connecting water and electricity, thereby reducing on-site construction work.
Advantages of Prefabricated Steel Houses
- Fast construction speed: Factory-prefabricated components require only assembly on site, with single-story residences completed in 1–2 weeks.
- Modular design: Prefabricated modules for walls, floors, and roofs, with pre-installed electrical wiring, plumbing, and smart home systems, delivering a fully finished product upon delivery.
- Flexible Space: Prefabricated steel houses feature large spans (enabling column-free spaces), adjustable layouts, and scalability (expandable horizontally with additional halls or vertically with additional floors).
- Superior Seismic Performance: Steel structures offer excellent ductility, and lightweight metal sandwich panels distribute seismic forces evenly, making them ideal for earthquake-prone regions.
- High precision: Full-process BIM modeling, laser cutting, component dimensional accuracy <2mm.
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Steel is 100% recyclable, with minimal construction noise and dust.
Prefabricated Steel House VS Prefabricated Wooden Houses
| Dimension | Wooden Houses | Prefabricated Steel House |
| Construction Speed | 6-12 months | 30-90 days (production + transport + installation) |
| Durability Strength | Wood structure prone to pests / brick and mortar cracks | Wind resistance level 12 / Earthquake resistance level 9 |
| Space Utilization | Load-bearing walls occupy 15% of the area | Large span column-free space |
| Fire and Moisture Resistance | Wood is flammable / brick absorbs moisture | Class A fire resistance + mold and termite resistant |
| Structural Performance | Prone to moisture deformation, requires regular maintenance and reinforcement | Yield strength above 235MPa, load-bearing capacity ≈ 3 times that of wood |
Prefabricated Steel House Applications
Residential Housing: Residential homes, villas, apartments, retirement communities, temporary housing (post-disaster/construction sites).
- Prefabricated steel structure houses feature bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and excellent insulation, soundproofing, and natural lighting performance.
Commercial Housing: Offices, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, exhibition halls, pop-up stores.
- Prefabricated metal houses can be quickly reconfigured, feature a modern design, and are suitable for fast-paced commercial environments.
- Prefabricated metal houses meet requirements for load-bearing capacity, seismic resistance, minimal partitions, and large spans, making them suitable for storage or production and capable of rapid deployment to accommodate capacity expansion.
Public facilities: schools (classrooms, gymnasiums), hospitals (outpatient buildings, wards), gymnasiums, libraries, charging stations.
- Prefabricated steel homes comply with public building codes, emphasizing functionality and safety, with steel structures meeting large span structural requirements.
Special functions: medical stations (epidemic prevention/emergency care), laboratories, data centers, emergency command centers, military facilities.
- Special-coated metal panels meet specific requirements such as medical cleanliness, laboratory ventilation, earthquake resistance, negative pressure, purification, and constant temperature and humidity.
