• Advantages of prefabricated homes to solve the problem of occupancy after the Los Angeles fire

  

  Dec 10, 2024

    In recent days, Los Angeles and its surrounding areas have been hit by frequent large-scale wildfires, resulting in the destruction of a large number of homes and the displacement of residents. The housing shortage caused by these fires is growing and there is an urgent need for quick and effective solutions to rebuild homes. In this context, prefabricated housing has become a viable option. Prefabricated houses have the advantages of fast construction, low cost, environmental protection and energy saving, and can help solve the problem of living in Los Angeles after the fire in many ways.   1.Quickly rebuild homes and alleviate housing shortages     In the aftermath of the fires, the affected residents urgently needed a safe place to live. The traditional process of building a house is time-consuming, involving land clearing, design, approval, and construction. Prefabricated houses, on the other hand, can significantly reduce the construction time, as the individual modules of the house are prefabricated in the factory and then transported directly to the site for assembly. This modular approach to construction can usually be installed in just a few weeks, allowing affected residents to move into their new homes as quickly as possible.   According to the Los Angeles Times, more than 14,000 homes were burned down after the 2018 California fires, leaving more than 50,000 residents homeless. While the reconstruction of a traditional house usually takes 12 to 24 months, the installation time of a prefabricated house can be shortened to 2 to 3 months, which greatly improves the reconstruction efficiency.   For example, Los Angeles County could set up temporary prefabricated housing communities in hard-hit areas to provide transitional housing for residents experiencing homelessness. This will not only ease the housing shortage, but also buy time for long-term reconstruction.   2. Reduce reconstruction costs and improve economic viability     Post-fire reconstruction work usually requires a large capital investment, while prefabricated homes are relatively inexpensive to build. According to the National Association of Home Builders, a traditional home costs an average of $150 to $200 per square foot to build, while a prefabricated home costs between $50 and $100. This means that building a 1,500-square-foot prefabricated house can save nearly 50% of the cost.   In addition, the mass production of prefabricated houses can further reduce the unit price of each house. For example, after the 2019 fires in the town of Paradise, California, the local government introduced hundreds of prefabricated homes to provide to disaster-stricken residents at an average price of about $70,000 per unit, which is much lower than the rebuilding cost of traditional homes.   For governments and non-profit organizations, the use of prefabricated homes as the primary means of post-disaster resettlement can provide shelter for more affected families within a limited budget. At the same time, affected residents will be able to buy or rent these homes at a lower price, thereby reducing their financial burden.   3. Flexible design and adaptability     Detachable container house feature flexible design and modularity that can be customized to different terrains, climates, and community needs. In a diverse urban environment like Los Angeles, prefabricated homes can offer a variety of housing options, from single apartments to family homes.   According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, the use of prefabricated construction technology can reduce construction time by 50 percent while reducing construction costs by 20 percent. This flexibility allows governments and developers to respond quickly to housing needs in different areas, allowing for more efficient allocation of resources.   In addition, prefabricated homes can be designed as scalable structures that can be adjusted as the needs of the home change. For example, a small house can be built initially, and additional modules can be added in the future if needed to expand the living space. This flexibility makes prefabricated houses a practical and sustainable option for post-disaster reconstruction.   4. Environmental protection and sustainability     Environmental protection and sustainability are also important considerations in the reconstruction of fire-affected areas. Prefabricated houses pay more attention to the sustainable use of materials in the production process, which can reduce construction waste and carbon emissions. In addition, prefabricated homes can also be equipped with solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and efficient insulation to reduce daily energy consumption.   According to the US Green Building Council, the construction process of prefabricated homes reduces carbon emissions by about 30% compared to traditional buildings. At the same time, prefabricated homes using renewable energy systems could save each household about $30,000 in energy bills over the next 20 years.   The Los Angeles area itself faces the challenges of water scarcity and climate change, so choosing eco-friendly prefabricated homes can help residents better adapt to future environmental changes while reducing the consumption of natural resources.   5. Support for post-disaster psychological reconstruction     Post-disaster reconstruction is not only about material reconstruction, but also about psychological comfort. Providing safe and comfortable shelter quickly can help affected residents return to normal life as soon as possible and reduce psychological stress.   According to research by the International Mental Health Association, providing a stable living environment is essential for post-disaster psychological recovery. Data shows that residents who have lost their homes have a 40% lower risk of developing psychological problems if they are able to move into a new home within six months.   Communities of prefabricated homes can be designed as friendly, supportive living spaces that foster communication and support among residents to help them get through difficult times together. For example, setting up public facilities such as shared gardens and activity centers in the community can enhance community cohesion and provide more psychological support for residents.   conclusion     Rebuilding after the Los Angeles Fire required a fast, efficient, and cost-effective solution, and prefabricated homes were an ideal choice. From rapid rebuilding and cost reduction to environmental and psychological support, prefabricated homes show advantages in several ways. By vigorously promoting prefabricated housing, the government and relevant organizations can better respond to the post-disaster housing crisis and help residents rebuild their homes and return to normal life as soon as possible. This innovative housing model also provides valuable lessons for future reconstruction in other disaster areas.

  Feb 05, 2026

  Flat-packed houses are gaining popularity due to their affordability, environmental friendliness, and quick installation. They are particularly attractive in areas with housing shortages because their production and installation speed far surpasses that of traditional buildings.   As ResearchAndMarkets.com report, by 2026, the trend in prefabricated housing will evolve from temporary housing to sustainable housing solutions. The global market size is projected to grow from $142.99 billion in 2025 to $153.79 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.   Whether you're looking to build a temporary studio in your backyard, a vacation cottage, an affordable permanent residence, or a rental property, these modular flat pack houses offer an affordable and sustainable way to build.   Why Choose a Flat Pack Home?   A Flat Pack Container Home is a prefabricated house made from weathering steel frames. These modular components are manufactured off-site, efficiently transported in flat-pack form (such as floors, roofs, or walls, frames, and often pre-installed doors and windows), and assembled on your foundation.   Cost-effectiveness: Saves up to 50% on labor and material costs compared to traditional construction. This reduces on-site construction and allows for rigorous quality control. Construction Speed: Once the foundation is ready, the steel frame and panels can be bolted and welded together within days or weeks (rather than months) with a small workforce. Sustainability: The use of recyclable steel structural frames and energy-efficient insulation materials enables sustainable building practices while reducing construction waste. Modular Design: Flat-pack homes are available in standard sizes or customized to your needs. Additionally, modules can be stacked or combined to create larger living spaces. Flexibility: Flat pack houses are ideal for use as primary residences, outbuildings, holiday cabins, worker accommodations, temporary office space, or emergency housing.   Tool Preparation and Site Planning   Assembling flat-pack container houses requires no heavy cranes or specialized machinery—just precise handling and the right tools.   Tool Kit   Power Tools: Impact drill, electric screwdriver, circular saw (optional, for custom cutting). Leveling Tools: Laser level or high-quality level (essential for structural alignment). Hand Tools: Rubber mallet, adjustable wrench, socket wrench set, heavy-duty ladder. Safety Equipment: Hard hat, gloves, safety glasses, high-visibility vest.   Site Requirements   Site Selection and Permits: Whether for temporary or permanent construction, be sure to review and comply with your local planning regulations. Foundation Work: The stability of a container house depends on the quality of its foundation. You can use a simple concrete base, pile foundation, or even a level gravel layer, depending on the needs of the house. Utility Planning: Mark the locations of water, sewage, and electricity connections before laying the floor.   Flat Pack Container House Step-by-Step Assembly Guide   1. Install the Base Frame   Open the galvanized steel floor chassis and secure it to the prepared foundation using anchor bolts.   Tip: Use a laser level to ensure the frame is perfectly level in all directions. Even slight deviations can lead to subsequent structural problems.   2. Install Corner Posts and Support Posts   Securing the prefabricated corner posts to the base frame with bolts provides structural integrity for the entire building.   Common Mistake: Do not overtighten the bolts at this stage—only apply the final torque after the entire frame is square and level.   3. Install Roof Panel Assembly   Lift the roof panel (usually in one or two sections) and bolt it to the corner posts. Modern flat-pack designs include built-in gutters and slopes for drainage.   Key Check: Ensure all roof joints are perfectly aligned to ensure the house is airtight and weatherproof.   4. Install Wall Panels and Door/Window Connectors   Slide the prefabricated insulated sandwich panels (usually EPS, rock wool, or PU core) into the designated tracks. Install the prefabricated doors and aluminum-framed windows into the corresponding slots.   Insulation Notes: These sandwich panels offer excellent thermal insulation (R-value comparable to conventional buildings) and sound insulation.   5. Sealing and Weatherproofing   Use high-quality silicone or polyurethane sealant to seal all seams, corners, and penetrations.   Pay attention to the roof-to-wall junction and around doors and windows. This step is crucial for improving energy efficiency and preventing leaks.   6. Interior and Utility Connections   While the structure itself is easy to assemble yourself, electrical wiring, plumbing, and final interior finishing should be done by certified professionals to comply with local regulations.   7. Interior Finishing   After sealing the flat-pack container home, you can install wiring, plumbing, and interior partitions inside. You can enthusiasts personalize their homes here with custom flooring and cabinetry.   Ready to Start Your Modular Home Journey?   Flat-pack container houses offer a convenient path to an affordable, sustainable, and modern lifestyle.

• Modular Site Accommodation: Dormitories and Barracks for Workers in Remote Areas

  

  Dec 31, 2025

  Modular site accommodation provides convenient housing for workers in remote areas, as well as for large-scale infrastructure, mining, and energy projects. These prefabricated modular buildings are manufactured in a factory and then assembled on-site, enabling rapid deployment of fully functional camps and supporting facilities. These modular accommodation units not only ensure the availability of basic living amenities but also significantly enhance the efficiency of project execution.   What is Modular Site Accommodation?   Modular site accommodation refers to prefabricated dormitory buildings designed for various purposes, offering quick deployment, customization, and cost-effectiveness. These accommodations can serve as temporary or permanent dormitories, featuring interior layouts that include bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, and other essential facilities. The modular dormitory units can be either single cabins or two-story structures, primarily focused on improving worker welfare and site management efficiency.     Why Choose Modular Site Accommodation?   Accelerate Project Progress: Modular dormitory units are constructed off-site in a controlled factory environment, while site preparation work is being done. Compared to traditional on-site housing construction, this parallel construction method can reduce deployment time by up to 50%. Predictable Costs: Factory prefabrication minimizes weather delays and material waste, resulting in more predictable budgets and less financial overruns. Scalability and Flexibility: If temporary accommodation for 50 workers is needed, simply add modules to meet the accommodation requirements. If the project relocates to another location, the modular units can be easily reconfigured or moved. This adaptability is ideal for temporary accommodation needs and cannot be matched by permanent buildings. High Quality and Durability: All DXH House modular dormitories are made from high-quality molded steel structures, designed to withstand transportation and harsh environments. We incorporate 50-100mm insulation to ensure optimal comfort both inside and outside. Our dormitories come with standard electrical fittings, easy-to-clean floors, and low-maintenance finishes. Highly Customizable Design: DXH House offers customizable modular dormitory containers tailored to meet project requirements and environmental conditions. We can address specific regional needs by upgrading insulation materials, reinforcing structures, or enhancing finishing materials.   Modular Accommodation Applications   Mining Camp Accommodation: Temporary modular accommodation offers reliable safety and a comfortable living environment for workers operating in remote areas far from urban infrastructure, such as mining or oil extraction projects. Construction Site Dormitories: These modular structures can be designed and built according to local conditions and actual needs, providing basic living space and amenities. Remote Worker Accommodation: Providing necessary housing solutions for workers across various industries, including flexible, comfortable, and affordable accommodation arrangements.     DXH House: Professional Modular Accommodation Manufacturer   As renewable energy, large-scale infrastructure, and resource projects continue to expand into more remote areas, modular dormitories and barracks will only become more essential. Whether it's basic worker accommodation or a comprehensive construction camp integrating office, living, and leisure functions, DXH House's modular accommodation units can be tailored to your specific needs.   Looking for a fast, flexible, and cost-effective accommodation solution?

They can be compact ensuite bathrooms within each modular accommodation unit, or separate modular bathroom units for ease of maintenance and utilities management.   Can These Modular Housing Units be Connected?   Yes. The modular design allows for side-by-side connections and features insulated passageways, creating secure internal corridors. This is crucial for coping with inclement weather.
