Shenzhen Dalezhuang Construction Technology

Shenzhen Dalezhuang Construction Technology is a digital platform company focused on the assembled construction industry. The company was established in April 2020 by founder and CEO Liu Hui. Liu is a state-registered Class 1 Architect who holds master's degrees in architecture from both Hunan University and the University of Pennsylvania. Her professional background includes roles as the chief architect at Broad Homes and general manager at both the design and digital technology research institutes of China National Building Material Group's subsidiary, a key player in the prefabricated construction sector. This experience within the industry revealed critical issues, particularly the lack of standardization in design and supply chains, which hinders scale and efficiency.

Dalezhuang was founded to address these inefficiencies by transforming the traditional construction industry into a more digital, standardized, and industrialized model. The firm operates a one-stop delivery platform for assembled buildings, leveraging AI and a PaaS (Platform as a Service) system to connect design, production, and delivery. This approach is designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency for its clients, which include developers, general contractors, designers, and other partners in the industry supply chain. The business model is centered on a "finished product e-commerce" concept for prefabricated components, likening itself to an "Amazon" for the assembly construction industry. Revenue is generated through several streams: the sale of prefabricated components like stairs, window bays, and balconies; service fees from enabling partner factories; and fees for assembly design and software services.

The company's core offering is its digital platform, which provides tools for intelligent design, detailed design, DIY design quotations, and a digital delivery management system. This platform allows for a more streamlined process, moving much of the work from the construction site to the factory. Dalezhuang has secured significant financial backing from prominent investors, including Tencent, BAI Capital, China Merchants Venture, and VCPegasus, completing multiple funding rounds since its inception. By the end of 2022, the company had signed component delivery contracts valued at nearly CNY 400 million and had provided services for over 60 real estate projects.
