There is an increased need for quick and advanced construction methods in cases like emergencies, large-scale projects, and locations requiring sustainable and environmentally friendly construction practices.

Rapid Construction: Modular Housing Solutions and GS Housing’s Capabilities

With obvious benefits of speed, scalability and sustainability modular construction has become a potential alternative solution to conventional construction. A great example of the capabilities and benefits of modular buildings is GS Housing—one of the largest modular building manufacturers in the world. In this passage, rapid construction is largely described as a technology of modular housing solutions suitable for mass manufacture and global projects. Examples will highlight changes in GS Housing solution manufacturing capabilities, international projects and sustainable design expectations.

Rapid Response and Emergency Capabilities

The need for rapid construction of housing is key in emergencies such as natural disasters, accident response, and temporary resettlement requirements. Modular housing can be assembled in days because of its modular nature and standardization in the production process, which means the time is a lot more than weeks or months. Such a rapid response ability can decrease downtime, financial losses and loss of life by a tremendous amount.

GS Housing proved its agile implementation of rapid response when it tackled housing for the homeless during the COVID-19 pandemic, rolling out 66 emergency projects and delivering 29,728 modular housing. This effort majorly contributed to the battle against the virus. GS Housing was assigned a mission to “support Hong Kong” and within 12 days organized and supplied a total of 3,463 sets of packaged container houses. Know the details about that, please click this link.

High Efficiency and Production Capacity

Due to standardized production processes and modular design, modular construction shortens the construction timeline compared to traditional construction methods drastically. In traditional construction, the entire process from design to acceptance consists of multiple steps with repetitive manual work and is time-consuming. The traditional style of building houses, however, takes much longer, while modular houses can be built and installed in hours with prefabrication and fast-responding assembly methods. This efficiency proves useful not only in emergencies, but also in large-scale constructions such as stadiums, commercial complexes, and temporary government offices.

GS Housing provides five of its modular factories – fully operational – making it one of the largest modular housing manufacturers in China. These factories have an annual production capacity of over 170,000 container houses. The firm employs intelligent modular housing processing lines, such as automatic CNC flame-cutting machines, plasma-cutting machines, and CNC bending and shearing machines. 

Collaborative Service Between Technicians and Installers

The full-service model in modular construction is based on skilled technicians and installers supporting the project. The technicians offer technical support, design solutions and troubleshooting, while the installers are the ones who take it live on the ground by building them. This similar approach provides the benefit of efficiency and quality control in the construction process. When an unexpected issue occurs, technicians can point the installer in real time to solve a problem, avoiding rework and delays.

GS Housing feels free to use the services of overcredit professional installation workers and have installation instructions, videos, and on-site instructors when necessary. Its independent design company, Beijing Boyuhongcheng Architectural Design Co., Ltd., provides customized technical guidance and rational layouts according to different customer needs.

One-Stop Service Throughout the Process

Modular houses provide a one-stop service, greatly facilitating the business and society. The whole process from design and planning to construction, acceptance, after-sales service, and maintenance is carried out by a professional team. Doing so keeps the course of the task breezy and lowers operational expenses.
