A matter of rural housing construction! Hebei's latest plan is here

A few days ago, Hebei Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Hebei Province's Pilot Work Plan for Prefabricated Rural Housing Construction", proposing to adhere to the principles of farmers' autonomy, enterprise voluntary, and government support, with farmers as the main body of housing construction, and by farmers for rural areas. Enterprises of prefabricated products in the region participate voluntarily, and build a batch of prefabricated rural houses with excellent performance, beautiful style, color coordination, perfect functions and obvious construction period advantages every year.

demonstration households do not seek more refinement, to ensure that pilot farmers can truly feel the advantages of prefabricated farm houses in terms of building performance, style, function and construction period, and lead the new trend of rural housing construction through word of mouth.

2022 is the start year of the pilot work, focusing on pilot projects in the counties where the manufacturers of prefabricated products for rural areas are located, and farmers will independently build more than 500 prefabricated rural houses with good demonstration effects. By the end of 2025, with steady progress and long-term efforts, the willingness of farmers to independently choose new housing construction methods has been significantly enhanced, and the quality of newly built rural housing has been effectively improved. The

plan clarifies the key tasks of the pilot work:

announces the company and product catalogue. is voluntarily decided by enterprises to participate in the pilot through cost control, and provides design plans and quotations. The Hebei Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development publishes the list of participating companies and product catalogs every year based on the registration of companies and the results of on-site investigations, so that the masses can choose freely.

identifies pilot counties. The cities will give priority to selecting counties with suitable transportation distances, strong farmers' willingness, and positive work attitudes of county-level governments to participate in the pilot program. The pilot counties should take the initiative to connect with participating enterprises, and actively promote the prefabricated housing construction products with excellent performance, beautiful style and reasonable price to the masses.

select demo households. The demonstration households are selected on the premise that the masses are voluntary and do not engage in coercion, so as not to arouse the disgust of the masses. In order to facilitate on-site visits and achieve the purpose of word of mouth and steady promotion, villages with convenient transportation, villages around the scenic spot, and villages with relatively many farmers are preferentially selected for demonstration.

organizes pilot construction. Each pilot county organizes demonstration farmers to connect with enterprises, organizes experts to check the design plan, and provides whole-process consulting services. Participating companies are supported to provide menu-style services, and while respecting the diverse needs of the masses, they can maximize their large-scale production. The pilot farm houses are strictly prohibited from using the red and green architectural color , as well as the European style and other "Westernized" architectural styles. After the demonstration farmers have completed the building procedures and the enterprises have completed the production of products, the construction will be started as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the implementation of the pilot work and achieve the pilot effect, the plan requires each pilot county to formulate a specific implementation plan, clarify the list of participating enterprises, the number of demonstration farmers, the completion time limit and support policies, etc., and strengthen the supervision and management of the whole process of implementation of the implementation plan. During the pilot construction period, the county-level housing construction department will conduct quality and safety inspections of construction projects, provide professional technical services for enterprises and farmers, and ensure that the construction of pilot farm houses achieves the expected results. After the construction is completed according to the promised construction period, the inspection and acceptance will be organized by the farmers.
