Development of a Design Plan for Industrialized Housing in Chongqing

The housing industrialization process could reduce the amount of site work associated with production and thereby accelerate the on-site construction process. This implies that design should be coordinated and integrated to ensure easy and proper fixture. The key features of housing industrialization are standardization of housing design. The design plan for industrialized housing development in Chongqing should accommodate the small-middle components in key areas of a housing unit. Such units include staircase, partition wall, facades and floor slabs. Classification of housing component systems is first given, and an alternative design plan for producing housing components is presented. The investigation includes the major housing parameters such as most preferable type of housing, appropriate number of storeys, and room height. Attention is drawn to the importance of the inter-relations between design and supply chain and coordination between designer and producer.
