GH Holds Joint Modular Housing Seminar with SH and iH on June 9

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) held a joint seminar on modular housing.

On June 9, GH announced that it hosted the "2025 Metropolitan Area Modular Housing Joint Seminar" at the Seoul Construction Hall in collaboration with Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH) and Incheon Urban Corporation (iH). The seminar was held under the theme "The Past, Present, and Future of Public Sector OSC (Off-Site Construction)" and provided a platform for each organization to share the results of their OSC projects and to discuss strategies for the future dissemination of technology and institutionalization.

OSC refers to a construction method in which building components are pre-designed and manufactured in factories and then assembled and installed on-site. It is gaining attention as an alternative to overcome the limitations of traditional on-site construction methods, offering various advantages such as reduced construction periods, improved construction quality, and prevention of safety accidents.

During the seminar, each organization introduced various construction methods and case studies.

GH presented the post-occupancy evaluation results and standard floor plan development of the recently completed Yongin Yeongdeok mid- and high-rise modular housing project, and proposed a future roadmap and institutional improvement measures.

SH shared its direction for developing an OSC standard model suitable for urban areas and a design guide for precast concrete (PC). LH presented the achievements in supplying public housing using OSC and discussed the potential application to small-scale housing.

During the comprehensive discussion session, officials and experts from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, iH Research Institute, and GH Construction engaged in in-depth discussions on policy directions and challenges.

In 2023, GH completed the "Yongin Yeongdeok Gyeonggi Happy Housing," the first mid- and high-rise modular housing in Korea with 13 stories, and received the "2023 National Land Grand Prize Presidential Award." Currently, GH is pursuing the construction of the tallest modular housing in Korea (25 stories) in Dongducheon.

Lee Jongseon, Acting President of GH, stated, "This seminar is a meaningful occasion for the three metropolitan corporations to jointly consider the public sector's role in disseminating and institutionalizing OSC technology," adding, "GH will continue to serve as a catalyst for the pioneering adoption and spread of OSC technology, which contributes to reducing construction periods, improving quality, and enhancing safety."
