Signing Ceremony: Volumetric Modular Construction European Strategic Cooperation Officially Sets Sail
On April 28th, Valor Group Ltd., a leading local comprehensive real estate development operator in Norway with a high-quality land reserve and full-chain project operation capability, and GS Housing Group Co., Ltd. held a grand signing ceremony for the volumetric modular construction strategic cooperation in Foshan. The two parties formally reached a long-term, in-depth strategic cooperation, taking Norway as the core pivot point and jointly exploring the blue ocean market of high-quality volumetric modular buildings in Europe.
The cooperation will focus on the core business of high-quality residential housing, boutique modular apartments, cultural tourism hotels, vacation complexes, student apartments, and low-carbon sustainable communities and jointly build a modular construction building cooperation platform for the Norwegian and European markets to promote the deep docking between China’s prefabricated intelligent construction system and the European high-end market.
Industry Trend: Modular Building Becomes the New Direction of Global Construction Transformation
Henry Fu, General Manager of GS Housing Group Co., Ltd. International Company, said in his speech that the global construction industry is moving towards a new stage of green, industrialized, and intensive transformation, and the traditional cast-in-place model has been difficult to adapt to the needs of countries for carbon reduction, efficiency, and rapid delivery. With the core advantages of a short construction period, stable quality, low carbon and environmental protection, and less on-site construction, the modular building industry has become the mainstream direction of global construction upgrading.
As one of the countries with the highest construction standards and the best business environment in Europe, Norway has a strong demand for housing and vacation properties and has a long-term and stable market for high-quality, low-carbon, and fast-delivery modular building systems, which lays a solid foundation for the development of the strategic cooperation between the two parties.
Complementary Advantages: Deep Integration of European Resources and Intelligent Manufacturing
Mr. Fu said that GS Housing Group Co., Ltd. has a perfect modular construction solution, mature intelligent manufacturing capabilities, advanced automated production lines, and stable global supply chain management capabilities, which can provide whole-process, overall delivery of volumetric modular house solutions for overseas projects.
Valor Group, Ltd. has been deeply cultivating the local market in Norway for a long time and can manage the entire closed-loop operation, from land acquisition and approval to construction and operation.
In this cooperation, both parties will give full play to their respective advantages, realize the deep synergy between “China’s manufacturing capability” and “Norway’s local resources,” and jointly promote the adaptation of the volumetric modular building system to the Norwegian and European construction standards and accelerate the relevant certification, technology landing, and localized engineering application. We will work together to promote the adaptation of the volumetric modular building system to Norwegian and European construction standards; accelerate the relevant certification, technology landing, and localized engineering applications; and comprehensively enhance the European modular construction project landing efficiency and market competitiveness.
Consensus on cooperation: long-term mutual trust lays a solid foundation for cooperation
Mr. Ruben, founder of Valor Group, Ltd., said, “The local Norwegian construction market needs a new construction model that is more efficient, cost-effective, and with more controllable quality. ” GS Housing Group Co., Ltd.’s mature, modularized, intelligent offsite construction system and overseas experience are highly complementary to our local land and development resources, with the same concept, and have a very strong foundation for market landing. He believes that the two sides are highly compatible in terms of resources, capabilities, and development concepts and that they build a strong mutual trust mechanism, which is not only the beginning of project cooperation but also an important starting point for long-term strategic synergy.
Future Prospect: Creating a New Benchmark for Offsite Modular Building Cooperation between China and Europe
In the next phase, the two parties will use the demonstration volumetric modular house project as an entry point, accelerate the landing and delivery of Norway modular construction buildings for duplex houses, and simultaneously advance the completion of the full product series to obtain Norwegian and European official technical certification and standard adaptation. GS Housing Group Co., Ltd. will continue to plow into the Norwegian market and deepen the project co-construction and long-term cooperation.
Both parties will uphold the concept of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, professional empowerment and work together to create a new benchmark for cross-border cooperation between China and Europe in volumetric modular construction, helping Chinese construction brands to sail to Europe and start a new journey of high-quality development of green and low-carbon buildings.
