Prefabricated houses are prepared in a controlled manufacturing environment before being delivered to the project site. Depending on the system, the factory can complete the structural frame, insulated panels, flooring, openings, service routes and selected interior fittings before the modules are positioned and connected.
What is a prefabricated house?
A prefabricated house is a building made from components or modules that are produced in advance and assembled according to a planned design. The approach can cover compact studios, expandable container houses, family homes, guest cabins, project offices and larger connected housing systems.
For Aokai projects, factory preparation can include steel framing, EPS insulated sandwich panels, PVC or SPC flooring, doors, windows, kitchen areas, dry-wet separated bathrooms, electrical routes and decorative finishes. The final specification is developed around the intended use, local climate and project layout.
How the prefabrication process works
1. Develop the project brief
Start with the destination, room functions, number of occupants, preferred arrangement and daily activities. A home, tourism cabin, site office and staff accommodation project will each need a different combination of openings, furniture and services.
2. Coordinate design and materials
The supplier can then confirm the module dimensions, structural arrangement, insulation, flooring, windows, doors, kitchen and bathroom positions. Reviewing these details before production helps align the factory work with the site plan.
3. Prepare the site
Before delivery, confirm the foundation or support points, drainage, utility connections, vehicle access and lifting area. The route should be checked for turning space, overhead clearance and a suitable unloading position.
4. Deliver, assemble and inspect
Modules or prefabricated sections are placed on the prepared supports and aligned according to the installation drawings. Teams complete connections, seals, stairs, service lines and interior accessories, then inspect doors, windows, lighting, drainage and fittings.
Design options for different projects
- Single-unit home: a compact plan can combine sleeping, living, kitchen and bathroom functions.
- Connected family home: several modules can separate bedrooms, shared living areas and service zones.
- Tourism accommodation: upgraded finishes, terraces and planned glazing can support cabins, resorts and guest rooms.
- Work and education spaces: repeatable modules can form offices, meeting rooms, classrooms and training centres.
- Phased developments: an initial group of units can be connected with additional rooms or shared facilities later.
Materials and interior planning
The building envelope should match the local climate and the way the space will be used. Insulated sandwich panels support thermal planning, while PVC and SPC floors provide different finish choices. Ventilation, shading, wet-area separation, lighting and furniture circulation should be resolved before production.
Why factory preparation matters
Factory preparation gives the project team a clear sequence for combining structural work, interior installation and site assembly. It also makes it easier to repeat a selected module across a housing cluster, tourism site, project camp or community facility.
