Refugee crisis to boost Germany’s prefabricated houses market
The German prefabricated houses market has maintained the momentum of recent years and registered a sales growth of 11.5% in 2016. The total market volume in the sector amounted to 3.94 billion Euros. Higher prices in the materials sector as well as an increase in sales of 3.2% were responsible for the double-digit sales growth. According to a study by Interconnection Consulting, the current issue with the refugees, which is closely related to a housing shortage, could give the industry further impetus and gradually end its niche position in the German construction industry. The refugee crisis as an opportunity for the industry The wave of refugees in Germany could lead to even greater growth in the industry. The current refugee crisis has great potential for the prefabricated construction industry, because refugees need safe houses. Another aspect which generates growth is the... Continue reading

Forecast: Global demand for prefabricated housing expected to rise annually by 2.7%
Global demand for prefabricated housing is forecast to increase 2.7 percent per annum through 2019 to 3.4 million units, according to a new Freedonia study. In the developing countries of the Asia/ Pacific region, Africa/Mideast region, and Central and South America, advances in overall housing activity as well as greater market penetration of prefabricated housing will drive gains demand going forward. In these regions, prefabricated housing will find applications both as low cost units to reduce housing shortages (particularly in multifamily applications) and as high quality, well-insulated houses for more affluent consumers, says Freedonia in its study. Most higher income countries (outside of the US and Japan) have low penetration levels for prefabricated housing, but its generally lower cost, shorter construction time, and greater energy efficiency will stimulate...

Japan designed four models of wooden houses for Chinese building standards
The Japan Wood Products Export Promotion Council has made up four models of wood houses based on the Chinese wood building standard. The models correspond with the Chinese needs of Japanese species like cedar, cypress and larch to differentiate from 2x4construction. The Council is now planning to promote sales of domestic wood products and wood house to China. At the moment, there are four model plans. M1 type has two stories with floor space of 170-300 m2 and M2 type has two to three stories with floor space of 170– 300 m2. M1and M2 are both medium grade specifications. J1 type has two stories with floor space of 200-300 m2 and J2 type has two stories with floor space of more than 300 m2. 1 and J2 are both high grade specification. They are different from Japanese houses, with much higher height of ceiling like 3-4 meters on first floor and 2.4-2.5 meters on the second... Continue reading
