A must-read for cross-border buyers: Space-o Group teaches you how to buy prefabricated houses in the Chinese market without risking failure

With the rapid growth of the global prefabricated building market, China has become one of the hot spots for overseas buyers to purchase prefabricated houses with its mature supply chain, cost-effective products and advanced technology. However, cross-border procurement involves multiple challenges such as language, building standards, and logistics, and you may fall into traps if you are not careful.

As a global one-stop delivery service provider for green prefabricated buildings, Space-o Technology Group has been deeply involved in the international market for many years, including North America, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other overseas markets. Combining many years of practical experience, we provide this pit avoidance guide for cross-border buyers to help you efficiently purchase quality prefabricated houses in the Chinese market.

1. Why do overseas buyers choose to purchase prefabricated houses across borders?

1. Mature and reliable technology

With its profound technical accumulation and continuous innovative breakthroughs in the field of construction, strong scientific and technological strength and engineering practice capabilities, China has established its international status as a strong country in infrastructure construction, and its construction technology level has firmly ranked at the forefront of the world.

2. Significant cost-effectiveness

Compared with the international market, China has a greater cost advantage in the field of prefabricated buildings. This is mainly due to the scale production benefits brought by China's huge manufacturing base, a mature supply chain system, and labor cost advantages (taking the European and American markets as an example, China's labor costs are only 1/3 to 1/2).

Traditional construction has a long construction period, while prefabricated houses are produced in factories, and foundation construction and factory production can be carried out simultaneously, and components can be assembled within a few days after arriving at the site, effectively solving the problem of construction delays caused by high labor costs and low construction efficiency in overseas projects, and achieving the construction advantage of fast delivery.

Second, the risks of cross-border procurement of prefabricated houses

Despite the obvious advantages of the Chinese market,However, there are still some potential risks in cross-border procurement. Based on customer cases, Space-o Technology Group summarizes the following common problems:

1. Mismatched quality standards

Different countries have different requirements for fire prevention, earthquake resistance, and environmental protection of building materials. Some suppliers may not have obtained international certification, resulting in the product being unable to pass the acceptance of the importing country.

✅ Space-o bound solution:

Space-o Group has obtained residential product certification and delivery certification in more than 10 developed countries.

Equipped with professional testing laboratories to ensure that materials are 100% up to standard.

All materials have authoritative test reports and support third-party inspection.

2. The design is out of touch with local market standards, and the drawings cannot pass local approval

The design drawings provided by some suppliers do not meet the construction specifications of the project site, resulting in the inability to obtain approval from the local government, delaying the project progress.

✅ Space-o bound solution:

Providing localized compliance design, Space-o has a professional design team that is familiar with the building regulations in North America, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions, and has practical experience in the implementation of multiple overseas projects to ensure that the plan can pass local approval.

3. Ocean shipping risks increase hidden costs

Prefabricated house components may be deformed or damaged during long-distance sea transportation due to improper packaging, rough loading and unloading, or bad weather, which may affect their use.

✅ Space-o bound solution:

According to product characteristics and transportation requirements, Space-o has developed an innovative and exclusive packaging protection system to form an efficient and safe ocean shipping packaging solution, effectively avoiding the hidden costs caused by transportation losses.

4. Cross-border service problems

Some suppliers did not provide clear installation instructions, or the structural design was too complicated, resulting in the local construction team being unable to assemble correctly, and having to hire additional professional technicians, increasing time and labor costs.

✅ Space-o bound solution:

More than 90% of the factory is prefabricated, and only simple assembly is required on site to reduce the difficulty of installation.

Provide multi-language video tutorials + 3D assembly manuals, and choose remote guidance or send a professional team to the site to guide the installation.

We have established agent service agencies in some countries to ensure quick response to customer needs.
