Shipping homes in shipping containers worldwide? Zhonghongyang has long been in on this “prefabricated housing” boom!

Jul 31,2026

Recently, “China’s prefabricated housing” has gained immense popularity overseas. Even Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning took to international social media to recommend it, praising its “high cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly design.” In no time, this innovative approach—building homes as easily as stacking LEGO bricks and receiving apartments like giant delivery packages—has won over countless fans around the globe.

Behind this wave of enthusiasm lies the Chinese construction industry’s remarkable transformation—from traditional labor‑intensive outsourcing to an industrialized, output‑driven model. As a national high‑tech enterprise deeply rooted in the construction formwork sector and dedicated to the R&D and service of aluminum alloy formwork, Zhonghongyang Construction would like to say: We’re not just present in this trend—we’ve been in the game for quite some time!

When “building houses” turns into “ “Building a house”

The so‑called Chinese “prefabricated housing” is based on the following core logic: Building industrialization — Transfer as many construction processes as possible—such as on-site concrete pouring, masonry, and plastering—from traditional job sites to the factory for completion. And… Aluminum alloy formwork , precisely the indispensable “skeleton” and “mold” of this transformation.

Zhonghongyang’s aluminum formwork products provide critical support for “prefabricated” construction:

- High precision, stable quality: Aluminum alloy formwork is manufactured using industrialized processes, with millimeter-level precision that ensures high-quality concrete placement, thereby enabling seamless integration between precast PC components and cast-in-place structures.

- Fast efficiency, short cycle: Aluminum formwork systems are easy to assemble and disassemble, and their early‑removal technology is well established, significantly shortening construction schedules. At the Tangyue project in Foshan’s Poly Guangfo Bay, which Zhonghongyang helped implement, the entire process—from factory delivery to topping out—was completed in just six months.

- Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Aluminum formwork can be reused hundreds of times, has high recycling value, and aligns with the principles of green building and carbon neutrality.

Zhonghongyang’s “technological foundation” “Qi,” participating in the development of benchmark projects.

This wave of “prefabricated housing” going global did not erupt overnight; rather, it represents the concentrated culmination of more than two decades of China’s accumulated expertise in construction industrialization. Zhonghongyang Construction is a key technology pioneer riding this very trend.

Zhonghongyang was founded in 2016, with its headquarters located in Foshan, Guangdong. The company operates a factory spanning approximately 70 mu and employs a service team of over 200 people. The company has successively been recognized as… A national high-tech enterprise, a Guangdong Province “Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative” SME, and one of the Top 100 enterprises in China’s formwork and scaffolding industry, and possess “First-Class Qualification in the Formwork and Scaffolding Industry” and “ “Enterprise Credit Rating: AAA” Honor.

Even more noteworthy is that Zhonghongyang has participated in a benchmark project that represents the highest level of intelligent industrialization in China’s construction industry:

- Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Cooperative Innovation (Zhuhai) Center Project: This is the first in South China to adopt “ “Sky‑mounted building crane + prefabricated PC components + architectural aluminum formwork” A high-end residential project within the system, with a prefabrication rate as high as 55%. Zhonghongyang aluminum formwork has successfully integrated precast composite floor slabs, precast stairs, precast partition panels, and other components seamlessly with cast-in-place structures, while innovatively adopting… “Matte aluminum formwork process,” It ensures excellent demolding while eliminating the need for texturing.

This project demonstrates that Zhonghongyang’s aluminum formwork technology has been deeply integrated into… Prefabricated construction This major industry trend is equipped to deliver large-scale, complex projects.

Implement the “Grand Service Strategy” and provide specialized services in the construction formwork industry. Business affairs

The aluminum formwork industry has long been characterized by the adage, “Thirty percent is the product, seventy percent is the execution.” Zhonghongyang not only delivers high‑quality aluminum formwork products but has also developed a “Five‑Star Service System”:

- At the project site, Zhonghongyang maintains resident professional engineers who provide 24/7 rapid-response guidance services.

- Covering the entire value chain—from business and technology to engineering management—360 degrees, ensuring customers can “rest easy and have peace of mind.”

It is precisely this relentless pursuit of excellence in products and services that has enabled Zhonghongyang to secure long-term strategic partnerships with renowned developers such as Poly, Vanke, China Resources, and Yuehai Land, as well as with industry giants like China Construction Second Bureau, Third Bureau, Fourth Bureau, and Fifth Bureau.

Packaging homes into shipping containers and building them like cars—this is the clear path of China’s construction‑industry upgrade. From the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Cooperative Innovation Center to Guangzhou Poly Zhujiang Tianyue, and from underground utility tunnels to ultra‑tall office towers, Zhonghongyang’s aluminum formwork products are laying the “industrialized skeleton” for one landmark project after another.

In the future, somewhere in the world, a prefabricated structure—constructed with the participation of “Zhonghongyang Aluminum Formwork”—may well rise from the ground.
