Activity Container House Direct Sales
Activity container house direct sales is a real business model and is widely applied in both domestic and international markets.

I. Market Status
Activity container houses, also known as modular buildings, are disassembled into independent modules, prefabricated in factories, and then transported to the destination via containers for on-site assembly. This model has formed a large-scale industry. For example, in the first four months, the export value of movable houses at Shenzhen ports reached 1.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, covering more than 150 countries and regions. Domestic companies such as China Construction Science and Industry Corporation and CIMC have become important participants in the global modular building market, with products covering high-end residences, data centers, temporary buildings, and other fields.
II. Product Types and Prices
- Basic movable houses: Mainly used for construction site dormitories and temporary offices, with price ranges from 99 yuan to 4,800 yuan per set. For example, the fireproof and thermal-insulated box-type movable house from Shandong Weichang New Building Materials Co., Ltd. is priced at 99 yuan, and the color-steel integrated house from Shanghai Tongjiuzhou Container Co., Ltd. is priced at 4,800 yuan.
- Customized modular buildings: Include precision assemblies such as steel structures, bathrooms, and pipelines, with relatively high prices. For example, the container shop office from Suzhou Gansu Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. is priced at 3,040 yuan, and the creative box-type container from Shenzhen Zongcheng Commercial and Residential Container Co., Ltd. is priced at 1,282.5 yuan.
- High-end data center modules: CIMC provides prefabricated modular data centers for AI computing infrastructure, with single project orders reaching up to 200MW and revenue growth exceeding fivefold year-on-year, reflecting the added value of technology-intensive products.
III. Core Advantages
- Efficiency improvement: The construction period is shortened by more than 60% compared to traditional buildings. For example, the British elderly care apartment project takes only two weeks from shipment to hoisting completion, and the overall project period for the Papua New Guinea hotel project is compressed from 14-18 months to 7 months.
- Cost optimization: On-site permanent personnel are reduced by more than 50%, steel consumption is reduced to 3%-5%, and the use of local materials is reduced by 60%-70%. The proportion of labor costs in European and American projects has decreased from 40% to a controllable range.
- Quality control: Factory standardized production avoids on-site errors, and the modular structure complies with international certification standards (such as ISO, CE), adapting to the needs of different climate zones.
IV. Application Scenarios
- Temporary buildings: Construction site dormitories, post-disaster reconstruction, exhibition venues, etc.
- Permanent buildings: Overseas data centers, elderly care apartments, schools, hotels, etc.
- Special scenarios: AI computing infrastructure, outdoor campsites, mobile shops, etc.
