With a fast changing economic environment and society coming to terms with the 'new normal' in China,
hotel developers are seeking for more carefully planned and executed projects, based on a sound economic
footing to ensure sustainable operations. Under such circumstances the modular building system might
become one possible remedy to bring momentum to hotel development in China, particularly in remote areas.
This publication provides a brief introduction of China's modular building construction for the hotel industry.
Why modular building? Modular building is a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under
controlled conditions in a factory, delivering the consistent quality designed to the same codes and standards
as conventionally built hotel units. The controlled environemnt and 'massproduction' allows for a significantly
expedited construction timeline, saving as much as half the construction time. Companies like CIMC-MBS and
Deepblue Smart House are the trailbalzers for modular construction in China and has provided numerous
modular building solutions for different projects around the world, including residences, student
accommodation, camp accommodation, hotels, beach houses, overwater bungalow etc.
