The Lida Group based in Shandong, China has pioneered the use of sandwich panel construction techniques to build cost-effective prefabricated houses.

By innovating the traditional concept of prefabricated buildings through efficient designs, mass production and a focus on affordability, Lida aims to make prefabricated houses an option for more people.

Lida’s founder and CEO, Mr. Mu, started the company in 1993 after realizing the potential of off-site prefabrication to provide quality yet affordable housing solutions. Previously, Mr. Mu had designed custom homes as an architect but saw many people struggled to afford housing.

Lida got started by providing simple single-module prefabricated cabins for temporary use. The convenience and cost savings of the modular buildings proved popular and Lida expanded into multi-unit housing solutions using prefabricated sandwich panel modules.

Lida develops customized prefabricated housing solutions while standardizing modular design elements that can be mass produced in factories. This allows Lida to reduce costs by 30-40% compared to traditional construction through economies of scale in manufacturing and assembly on-site.

Some key aspects of Lida’s innovative sandwich panel prefabricated houses:

• Utilizing sandwich panel construction – two metal plates separated by a rigid insulation core. This provides durable, lightweight and temperature-regulated modules.

• Designing compact floorplans that maximize space within each prefabricated module. Engineers precisely plan the layout, openings and connections between modules.

• Implementing simple, functional designs without unnecessary additions. Interior fittings and fixtures are added based on client needs.

• Leveraging mass production techniques by fabricating similar components in a factory-like setting. Interior fittings, doors, windows and more are produced in bulk for use across projects.

• Working with contractors specialized in assembling prefabricated modules on-site. Contractors benefit from the repetitive nature of the modular buildings.

Since its founding, Lida has completed over 1000 modular projects across China and internationally, including many types of prefabricated houses:

• Large multi-building housing complexes assembled on-site using replicated sandwich panel apartment modules.

• Standardized “plug-and-play” prefabricated villages transported and assembled on-site to provide housing rapidly.

• Affordable single-family prefabricated houses that are 70% completed in factories before on-site assembly.

Moving forward, Lida aims to scale its prefabricated sandwich panel houses through automation, strategic partnerships and innovations in material science. Lida’s vision is for off-site prefabrication using modular sandwich panels to become mainstream, redefining how housing solutions are designed and built globally.

In summary, by leveraging the benefits of factory-based prefabrication using modular sandwich panel construction techniques, Lida Group strives to revolutionize the housing industry. Through replicable components produced at mass scale, Lida aims to deliver affordable yet customized, sustainable and rapidly deployable prefabricated housing solutions. With continued innovation, Lida hopes to establish prefabricated modular construction as the next generation of housing technology.
