Editor’s note: Daiwa housing is the largest residential builder in Japan.
Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Osaka, Daiwa housing is a world top 500 group enterprise with the housing industry as the main body, ranking first in Japan’s industrialized housing construction industry.
Prefabricated building network (www.precast.
Com.
CN) launched Dahe house in this issue An exclusive interview with Mr.
Liu Kang, executive director of (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
I hope that through this article, we can deeply understand the development differences of prefabricated buildings between China and Japan, learn Japanese advanced ideas, and add drilling and tile to the development of prefabricated buildings in China.
Person introduction: Liu Kang, after graduating from Tongji University in 1999, studied at Osaka University in Japan as a Sino Japanese exchange student After graduation in 2002, he entered Dahe housing and engaged in project manager and technical research.
Baoye and Dahe joint venture industrialized housing project began and officially returned to China to engage in industrialization research, Daiwa housing Executive director of (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
first met Daiwa housing.
Daiwa Housing Industry Co., Ltd.
is an inventor and creator of prefabricated housing in Japan and a leading enterprise in the construction industry in Japan.
The company has 42460 formal employees and 317 subordinate companies of the group.
In 2017, its business revenue was us $34.3 billion, and its overseas business is spread in more than 30 countries such as the United States, Australia, China and Southeast Asia Home, ranking 342 among the world’s top 500 in 2018.
The opportunity for Daiwa housing to enter China should start with the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.
In 1972, China and Japan resumed diplomatic relations.
Mr.
Nobuo Ishihashi, founder of Daiwa housing, led a Japanese construction industry delegation to China.
The delegation was greeted in Beijing by Wang Zhen, then Vice Premier of the State Council (also honorary president of China Japan Friendship Association and honorary president of China International Friendship liaison Association).
At that time, Shanghai was facing the problem of housing shortage during the preparation of the National Games.
Because China’s housing construction speed was relatively slow, the government proposed to Daiwa housing whether there could be a solution to the housing problem of athletes.
Finally, Daiwa housing was successful in only three months Man completed the construction of five athletes’ dormitory buildings in Shanghai, with a total area of about 10000 square meters.
And all materials were transported from overseas to Shanghai, which laid a good foundation for the success of the National Games.
Through this project, the speed and quality of Dahe building broke the old Chinese understanding of integrated housing at that time, and became famous for a time.
In the 1980s, Dahe housing officially entered the Chinese market and built five residential community projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian and other places by means of full import.
After 2000, Dahe housing focused on the Jiangsu market, successively developed fully hardbound residential communities in Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nantong and other places, and established supporting property companies for this purpose, which were operated and maintained by Dahe independently.
Through this move, it not only improved customers’ evaluation of the house, but also promoted the improvement of second-hand house prices.
In 2006, Dahe housing, together with Tongji University, China Academy of Building Sciences and other scientific research institutions, jointly developed and launched prefabricated buildings suitable for the living habits of the Chinese people, and achieved national demonstration.
In 2013, Dahe Housing Industry Co., Ltd.
and Zhejiang Baoye Real Estate Group Co., Ltd.
jointly established an industrialized construction and manufacturing plant in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province.
At present, the annual production capacity of the factory has reached 100000 square meters.
According to Daiwa House Mr.
Liu Kang, executive director of (China) Investment Co., Ltd., introduced that although Dahe housing has promoted some products in the United States, Australia and Malaysia, it is exported from Japan to the local.
Outside Japan, Dahe is really responsible for the technical management of the factory and uses Dahe logo.
Baoye Dahe is the only one, which shows that Dahe housing attaches importance to the Chinese market.
The difference in the development of prefabricated buildings between China and Japan, Mr.
Liu Kang told Xiaobian that the concept of industrialized housing in Japan began around 1955.
They collectively referred to low-rise prefabricated houses, temporary school buildings, offices and PC multi-storey collective houses as “prefabricated buildings”, that is, buildings that produce components in the factory in advance and then assembled on site.
In the prefabricated housing performance certification system promulgated and implemented by the Ministry of construction of Japan in 1973, the name “industrialized housing performance certification system” was officially used for the first time.
Industrialized housing not only has the characteristics of simple factory production, but also emphasizes the characteristics of highly industrialized technology integration including many properties such as living comfort.
Daiwa Housing Industry Co., Ltd., the earliest prefabricated construction company, took the lead in developing steel pipe housing in 1955, which is also the prototype of industrialized housing.
1965 ~ 1980 was the growth period of industrialized housing in Japan.
In 1966, the Japanese government announced the “Five-Year Plan for phase 1 housing”, which plans to build 6.7 million houses within five years to achieve the goal of one family.
The Japanese government has focused on industrialization to realize the mass supply of housing and formulated many promotion policies.
It is during this period that the government began to put forward the concept of “housing industry”.
1981 ~ 1999 was the exploratory period of industrialized housing in Japan.
After 1986, along with the eastward growth of the bubble economy, Japan’s housing products were also unwilling to lag behind and become more luxurious.
After 2000, Japan’s industrialized housing entered a period of innovation.
After decades of experience, Japanese companies have been on a par in terms of industrialized housing production quality and other technologies.
Under the fierce market competition, with the global heat of the concept of energy conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development, the major housing companies in Japan put more emphasis on innovation outside the housing itself..
