The Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development recently issued the “14th Five Year Plan” for the development of the construction industry, proposing that by 2025, prefabricated buildings will account for more than 30% of new construction. Assembled buildings make full use of Internet technology, BIM technology, VR and other technologies and green concepts, which is an industrial revolution with new building industrialization as the core content..

In recent years, various provinces and cities in China have vigorously promoted the development of prefabricated buildings. The construction industry urgently needs high-level technical and skilled talents in the field of prefabricated buildings. As of 2021, the newly constructed prefabricated building area in China has reached 740 million square meters, an increase of 18% compared to 2020, accounting for 24.5% of the newly constructed building area..

In 2023, Zhejiang Province achieved a newly constructed prefabricated building area of over 100 million square meters throughout the year, with the proportion of newly constructed prefabricated buildings accounting for 34%. Among them, the proportion of newly constructed prefabricated buildings in Ningbo has reached 37.2%..

Our school has established a prefabricated building direction class since 2020. After three years of construction, it is now a 1+X prefabricated component production and installation examination center, a 1+X construction engineering drawing recognition vocational skill level certificate examination center, a 1+X building information model (BIM) vocational skill level certificate pilot, and a key technical position certificate (eight members) examination center for construction enterprises. The training facilities and equipment are sufficient, and the teaching team is excellent..

Our professional teaching team is strong, with 8 professional teachers, including 1 senior high school student, 3 associate high school students, 2 intermediate level students, and 2 junior level students; 1 doctoral student and 5 master’s students; 1 member of the Intelligent Construction Professional Committee of the Ministry of Education, 1 registered geotechnical engineer, and 1 registered structural engineer..
