The advantages, disadvantages, and preventive issues of integrated housing

Integrated housing consists of structural systems, ground systems, floor systems, wall systems, and roof systems. Each system consists of several unit modules, which are manufactured in the factory and assembled on-site.
The integrated house can be dismantled and moved without damaging the land. It has achieved the transformation of housing from a "real estate" attribute to a "movable property" attribute for thousands of years, and achieved the separation of real estate and immovable property for thousands of years.
What are the drawbacks of integrated housing?
1. Integrated housing has a higher degree of engineering, shortened construction period, and significantly reduced costs: it unifies the standards for temporary building modules, realizes industrial large-scale production of temporary buildings, improves the early engineering of buildings, and makes temporary building components of different shapes, materials, and manufacturing methods have a certain degree of universality.
At the same time, the preliminary engineering of temporary facilities integrates material processing and installation, greatly reducing construction and installation costs; Moreover, the construction speed has increased, which can shorten the construction period by more than 60%, thereby accelerating the capital turnover speed of the construction unit and allowing the construction site to start earlier.
2. Integrated houses can meet high and ultra span requirements: light steel structural materials have uniform organization, high strength, and high elastic modulus, and their density to strength ratio is much smaller than that of concrete and masonry. Under the same stress conditions, lightweight steel structures have a smaller self weight and can be used to make large-span and high height lightweight steel integrated houses.
3. The combination of integrated house design and functionality makes temporary buildings more functional: In temporary buildings, light steel structures become an important factor in image formation, and the shape, components, and nodes of the structure largely lead to and constrain the image of temporary buildings. Only by integrating the design and function of architecture and structure can buildings become more functional, carry out all subsequent design processes, and create temporary facilities that integrate technology and art.
The main disadvantage of integrated houses is that the expansion coefficients of different materials in each system of the integrated house are different. How to grasp them, experience and details can determine whether the shortcomings of integrated houses can be overcome.
What are the issues that need to be understood and prevented for the service life and safety of integrated houses in daily life?
1. Do not disassemble or assemble without permission. During the design and installation process, each part of the house is installed and fixed as a whole. Individual disassembly and assembly can easily lead to a deterioration of the overall stability of the house, posing relative safety hazards. If residents want to change the original structure of a house, they need experienced builders to operate it.
2. Do not pull the wires yourself. The overall structure of the light steel house adopts a light steel keel with metal conductivity. Therefore, the wires cannot be individually wound around the keel. Once electric leakage or fire occurs, it is easy to cause safety accidents.
3. The material of integrated house roof tiles is different from traditional fragile tiles. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also improve the overall service life of a house.
