It utilizes a case study of a factory in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province and the logistical and digitisation issues facing the development of such a factory. The chapter deals with an introduction to the housing market and economy and then look at the particular production facility in detail. The design process for the modular units is discussed as well as the nature of the factory and the projects to be completed. China is developing rapidly, with a booming economy, an ageing workforce and a growing and demanding middle class. China has changed dramatically in the past two decades, experiencing rapid economic growth and a steady increase in national income.
