Traditional prefabricated building structures were mainly used in multi-storey buildings in the early days, including residential, public buildings, industrial buildings, etc. Their composition mainly includes prefabricated exterior wall panels, prefabricated floor panels, prestressed porous panels, interior partition panels, prefabricated exterior wall panels, and prefabricated PCF panels..

Integrated decoration is the assembly and installation of components produced by factories on site, which is easy to control engineering quality, improve work efficiency, save energy and reduce emissions, and is also easy to maintain. It realizes the integration, assembly, and intensification of the building decoration process, and is also a manifestation of the upgrading and technological progress of the decoration style building industry..

In the 3.0 era, the bathroom was divided into three major modules: floor, wall, and top, and various supporting products such as mirror cabinets, floor cabinets, toilets, shower screens, showerheads, and faucets were integrated into the system to achieve overall installation at the factory’s prefabricated site..

Prefabricated Building 4.0: Modular Building (MiC).

MiC, also known as “Modular Integrated Construction,” is the abbreviation for Modular Integrated Construction, also translated as “Assembly and Integration Building Method.”. It refers to the construction method in which a building unit is assembled into a complete independent building unit that has reached the level and standard of decoration and occupancy after being produced in an intelligent and specialized factory, transported to the construction site, and assembled through the combination of structural components..

That is to say, “building a house like a car”, using modern industrial production methods to replace and transform traditional manual labor and wet work production methods..

It has the characteristics of standardized design, factory production, integrated decoration, convenient construction, and information management. It is a more advanced form of prefabricated building and also the future development direction..

Referring to the disruptive changes in the automotive industry, whose original intention was “one sofa, four wheels”, we can imagine that prefabricated buildings are like “one piece of land, several blocks” or “three fulcrums, several blocks”, in which almost all components such as walls, floors, stairs, etc. are manufactured in the factory like blocks and then transported to the construction site for assembly. Workers only need to refer to the design drawings and assemble one piece at a time, layer by layer, to complete the project. In theory, this is completely feasible. Because the core concept of prefabricated building is modularity and standardization, which is very similar to the concept of the automotive manufacturing industry. As long as we design the various parts of the building to be standardized and modular enough, it is possible to achieve a convenient construction method like assembling a car..

The transformation and upgrading of the construction industry should be the upgrading of the construction mode. In traditional architectural design, there are significant differences in component requirements among different projects, which means that each car is unique and cannot be produced uniformly. In this context, by coordinating with the design structure, implementing prefabricated building design, simplifying and standardizing components, and combining them in a combination manner, the industrialization and industrialization of building components have been achieved, and the efficiency of building design and construction has also been improved, optimizing the production structure of buildings..

The core concept of prefabricated buildings is to treat buildings as products and construction as manufacturing, which will inevitably promote the intelligent development of component and component production. The intelligentization of production not only enables the possibility of remote management, but also enables flexible manufacturing, thereby improving production efficiency and safety management level.
