1. Introduction: The Global Demand for High-Quality Rural Housing and the Risks of Substandard Construction

The global rural housing market is experiencing a period of rapid growth, driven by rural revitalization initiatives, increasing rural population mobility, and a growing awareness of the benefits of durable, sustainable housing. According to a recent report by the World Bank, the global rural housing market is expected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2030, with a significant portion of this growth coming from demand for metal frame farmhouses. However, this growth has also led to an influx of substandard metal frame farmhouses, built with little regard for construction quality, which have undermined consumer confidence in metal frame rural housing.

Rural residents and operators are increasingly seeking high-quality metal frame farmhouses that deliver on their promises of durability, safety, and low maintenance. They understand that a farmhouse is a long-term investment, and substandard construction will only lead to higher costs and greater risks in the future. For example, a metal frame farmhouse with loose connections may withstand minor winds initially, but over time, the vibrations from agricultural machinery, seasonal temperature fluctuations, and repeated exposure to wind will cause the connections to loosen further, leading to structural instability. Similarly, improper waterproofing in a metal frame farmhouse will result in water leakage, mold growth, and corrosion of the metal frame—shortening the lifespan of the structure and creating health hazards for occupants.

The consequences of substandard construction in metal frame farmhouses are far-reaching, affecting not just individual rural families but also rural communities and the broader rural housing industry:

1.1 Safety Risks for Occupants

The most immediate and serious consequence of substandard construction is the risk to the safety of the farmhouse’s occupants. A poorly constructed metal frame farmhouse may lack structural integrity, making it vulnerable to collapse during natural hazards such as earthquakes, strong winds, or snowstorms. Loose bolts, misaligned framing, and substandard welding can all create structural weaknesses that fail under stress. For example, in a hurricane-prone rural area, a metal frame farmhouse with improper roof installation may have its roof torn off during a storm, exposing occupants to danger and causing significant property damage. Similarly, in earthquake-prone regions, substandard frame connections can lead to the collapse of the entire structure, resulting in injury or loss of life.

1.2 Shortened Lifespan and Higher Maintenance Costs

Substandard construction drastically reduces the lifespan of a metal frame farmhouse, turning a supposed long-term investment into a costly liability. Metal is inherently durable, but it requires proper installation and protection to maintain its strength over time. Improper insulation, for example, can lead to condensation inside the walls, causing the metal frame to corrode. Shoddy waterproofing can allow water to seep into the structure, damaging the frame and other components. Loose connections can cause vibration and friction, accelerating wear and tear. As a result, a substandard metal frame farmhouse may last only 15–20 years, compared to the 50–70 year lifespan of a high-quality metal frame farmhouse. This shortened lifespan means rural residents must invest in costly repairs or complete rebuilding much sooner, diverting resources from agricultural production and other essential needs.

1.3 Damage to the Reputation of Metal Frame Rural Housing

Substandard metal frame farmhouses have also damaged the reputation of metal frame rural housing as a whole. Many rural residents who have had negative experiences with poorly constructed metal frame farmhouses are hesitant to invest in metal frame housing again, instead returning to traditional construction methods that they perceive as more reliable—even though traditional methods have their own shortcomings. This reluctance slows the adoption of metal frame housing, depriving rural communities of the benefits of metal framing, such as durability, sustainability, and rapid construction. It also creates a barrier for reputable companies like Lida Group, which are committed to delivering high-quality metal frame solutions.

1.4 Environmental Impact

Substandard construction also has a negative environmental impact. A metal frame farmhouse that deteriorates prematurely must be demolished and replaced, generating significant construction waste. The production of new materials to replace the damaged components consumes additional energy and resources, increasing carbon emissions. Additionally, substandard insulation and waterproofing can reduce the energy efficiency of the farmhouse, leading to higher energy consumption for heating and cooling—contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. In contrast, a high-quality metal frame farmhouse with proper construction is energy-efficient, long-lasting, and recyclable, minimizing its environmental footprint.

Against this backdrop, Lida Group’s commitment to high quality construction is more important than ever. We believe that the only way to realize the full potential of metal frame rural housing is to ensure that every farmhouse is built to the highest construction standards, with meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality control.

Vietnam’s rural tourism industry is growing rapidly, and there is a high demand for high-quality farmhouses that can withstand the country’s tropical climate—characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, heavy rainfall, and occasional typhoons. In 2023, Lida Group partnered with a local rural tourism operator in Vietnam to build 15 metal frame farmhouses for a rural tourism resort. The project required farmhouses that were not only durable and safe but also aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and low-maintenance—key factors for attracting tourists. High quality construction was essential to ensure that the farmhouses could withstand the harsh tropical climate and maintain their appearance and functionality over time.

We designed the farmhouses with a traditional Vietnamese architectural style, incorporating curved roofs and wooden decorative elements to blend seamlessly with the local landscape. The main frame used Q355 carbon steel, treated with a multi-layer anti-corrosion coating to resist humidity and salt spray from nearby coastal areas. During construction, our team paid special attention to insulation and waterproofing: we used PU core insulated sandwich panels to provide superior thermal insulation, reducing indoor temperatures by 10–12℃ compared to the outside. The roof was installed with a 25-degree slope to ensure rapid water runoff, and TPO waterproof rolls were installed with waterproof tape to prevent leaks. The exterior panels were coated with a UV-resistant paint to prevent fading and deterioration from intense sunlight.

Our construction team also focused on finishing work, ensuring that the interior and exterior of the farmhouses were attractive and comfortable. The interior walls were finished with gypsum board and high-quality paint, and the floors were covered with durable vinyl flooring. The windows and doors were energy-efficient, with double-glazed glass to minimize heat loss and enhance comfort. The electrical and plumbing systems were designed to meet the needs of tourists, with ample outlets and efficient water fixtures.

The project was completed in 6 weeks, and the farmhouses were put into use in July 2023. Since opening, the farmhouses have withstood three typhoons and months of heavy rainfall without any leaks or structural damage. The high-quality insulation has kept the interiors cool and comfortable, reducing the need for air conditioning and saving energy. Tourists have praised the farmhouses for their beauty, comfort, and durability, with the resort reporting an average occupancy rate of over 90% during peak tourist seasons. The tourism operator said: “Lida Group’s high quality construction has made these farmhouses a huge success.

Kenya’s arid and semi-arid regions are characterized by extreme heat, sandstorms, and limited water resources—posing unique challenges to rural housing. In 2022, Lida Group undertook a project to build 20 metal frame farmhouses for agricultural workers on a large-scale farm in Kenya. The project required farmhouses that could withstand extreme heat (temperatures up to 40℃), sandstorms, and water scarcity—while being energy-efficient and low-maintenance. High quality construction was critical to ensure that the farmhouses could withstand the harsh arid environment and provide a comfortable living space for the workers.

We used galvanized aluminum zinc G550 high-strength steel for the main frame, treated with a UV-resistant coating to protect against intense sunlight. The foundation was prepared with prefabricated concrete piles to anchor the frame securely to the ground, preventing movement during sandstorms. During frame installation, our team used laser leveling equipment to ensure alignment, and all bolts were tightened to the correct torque. The joints were sealed with dust-proof sealants to prevent sand from entering the structure and damaging the frame.

For insulation, we used EPS core insulated sandwich panels, which provided effective thermal insulation while being lightweight and cost-effective. The roof was installed with a 30-degree slope to ensure rapid runoff of any occasional rainfall, and the exterior panels were coated with a heat-reflective paint to reduce heat absorption. The windows and doors were installed with weatherstripping to prevent sand and dust from entering, and we installed solar panels on the roof to provide electricity, addressing the region’s limited grid power supply.

The finishing work was designed to be durable and low-maintenance, with ceramic tile flooring that was easy to clean and resistant to dust. The interior walls were finished with washable paint, making them easy to maintain in the dusty environment. The plumbing system was designed to be water-efficient, with low-flow fixtures to minimize water waste.

The project was completed in 5 weeks, and the farmhouses have been in use for over a year. Despite being exposed to extreme heat and frequent sandstorms, the farmhouses remain structurally intact, with no signs of corrosion or deterioration. The insulation has kept the interiors cool, reducing the need for artificial cooling and saving energy. The sand-proof design has prevented sand from entering the structure, keeping the interiors clean and comfortable. The agricultural workers have praised the farmhouses for their durability and comfort, with one worker saying: “This house is unlike any other we’ve lived in. It’s cool in the heat, clean even during sandstorms, and we haven’t had any issues with repairs. The quality of the construction is outstanding.” The farm owner reported significant cost savings from the low maintenance costs and energy efficiency of the farmhouses, making them a valuable investment for the operation.

7. Challenges and Future Outlook for High-Quality Metal Frame Farmhouse Construction

Despite the significant advantages and positive impact of high quality construction in our metal frame farmhouses, there are still some challenges in promoting and popularizing this approach worldwide. These challenges are primarily related to market awareness, cost perception, and the availability of skilled labor. However, with the growing demand for high-quality rural housing and the support of governments, international organizations, and rural communities, the future of high-quality metal frame farmhouse construction is promising. Below is a detailed analysis of the current challenges and our future outlook:

7.1 Current Challenges

The promotion of high-quality metal frame farmhouse construction faces three main challenges that need to be addressed to realize its full potential in global rural housing markets.

First, insufficient market awareness and traditional mindset barriers remain a key obstacle. In many rural areas, residents have long been accustomed to traditional construction methods (such as brick-and-concrete) and hold misconceptions about metal frame farmhouses. Some rural residents believe that metal frame houses are “flimsy” or “prone to rust,” even though high-quality metal frame farmhouses with proper construction and anti-corrosion treatment are far more durable than traditional houses. Others are skeptical of the comfort and aesthetics of metal frame farmhouses, associating them with temporary structures rather than permanent homes. These traditional mindsets are deeply rooted and require long-term publicity and education to change.

Second, misperceptions about cost hinder widespread adoption. High-quality metal frame farmhouses have a higher initial construction cost compared to substandard metal frame farmhouses or even some traditional brick-and-concrete houses, as they use high-quality materials, advanced technologies, and skilled labor. Many rural residents and operators, who prioritize short-term costs over long-term value, are deterred by this higher initial investment, failing to recognize that the low maintenance costs and long lifespan of high-quality metal frame farmhouses result in lower total cost of ownership over decades. In some underdeveloped rural areas, rural families also lack the financial resources to invest in high-quality metal frame farmhouses, even if they recognize their long-term benefits.

Third, shortage of skilled labor in rural areas affects construction quality and efficiency. High-quality metal frame farmhouse construction requires skilled workers who are familiar with metal frame installation, precision equipment operation, and quality control standards. However, in many rural areas, especially underdeveloped regions, the local construction workforce is mostly trained in traditional construction methods and lacks the skills and experience needed for metal frame construction.
