“With SANY’s advanced PC technology, each of these houses could be built in a week,” Xu Ming, GM of SANY Latin America said. The components and modular are manufactured on production lines like vehicles and quickly assembled on site, which not only increases construction efficiency by 70%, but also reduces cost by saving up to 80% water, 60% power, 20% materials and 20% land.
In addition, the houses built with SANY’s PC is consistent with the sustainable green building idea, which decreases 76% carbon footprint and 90% waste.
