Scale benchmark

China

Construction as industrial system.

Reported

China is the primary benchmark for manufacturing scale, precast and modular capacity, supply-chain depth, industrial policy and factory throughput. It is not framed here as cheap production.

Indices

Directional, not a league table.

MMC Penetration

High (directional)

2020s · limited confidence · reported

Policy targets and precast mandates are not the same as measured offsite value share.

Manufacturing capacity

System-scale

2020s · moderate confidence · reported

Depth of precast and component manufacturing is the signal. Plant-level verification is incomplete.

Utilisation

Unknown / uneven

2020s · experimental confidence · unknown

Announced plants include idle and unfinished capacity. Do not average them away.

Regulatory friction (domestic)

Low-to-moderate (directional)

2020s · limited confidence · reported

Domestic friction is not the Australian entry friction.

Open questions

  • What is verified factory throughput versus announced nameplate?
  • Which systems are export-capable with evidence packs?
  • Where does utilisation actually sit?

Factories
