The British delegation, led by Rodney Howes, visiting professor of building at London's South Bank University, was invited to a conference on housing prefabrication.
Last month's delegation also included Chris McCarthy of environmental engineer Battle McCarthy, which has worked up a prefabricated housing design for the province, and industrialised housing company Banro.
Chinese representatives will visit Britain in May or June to examine British examples of prefabricated housing.
Prefabrication is favoured by the municipality's construction director, Genfang Wang, as the means of solving the province's urgent housing need.
Chongqing will require an estimated 300,000 homes to replace those flooded by the Three Gorges dam project. There are also plans to build 1 million homes a year to replace substandard housing stock.
