Admin September 17, 2026
The prices of box-type container houses vary significantly depending on their type, size, configuration, and supplier. Below is specific price information:

I. Price Range for Basic Models
- Simple Foldable/Quick-assembly Types: Basic models such as construction site color-steel folding houses and campsite space capsules have relatively low starting prices, ranging from 70 yuan to 3,040 yuan. For example, the starting price for a simple box-type mobile house like a campsite space capsule hotel villa apple cabin house is 70 yuan, while the price for a combined house made of a reinforced and thickened container for shops, offices, assembled garages, and mobile houses is 3,040 yuan.
- Standard-sized Container Houses: A basic 3-meter-wide by 6-meter-long container house made of rock wool or foam boards has a standard box price ranging from approximately 4,500 yuan to 11,000 yuan. The total price for a quick-assembly box (18 square meters) ranges from 4,680 yuan to 14,400 yuan, depending on the materials and configuration.
II. Price Differences for Functional Types
- Office and Accommodation Combined Types: Container offices and construction site project departments, which serve both office and accommodation purposes, have moderate prices. For example, the price for a creative box-type container office that can accommodate people and is mobile for construction site project departments is 1,282.5 yuan, while the price for a simple, detachable, mobile box-type activity house for temporary office and accommodation in integrated container activity houses and movable panel houses is 1,588 yuan.
- High-configuration or Customized Types: Container houses with canopies, decorations, or special functions have higher prices. For instance, the price for a container house with a canopy for accommodation, which is quickly assembled, movable, and decorated for construction site dormitories, is 95 yuan (possibly the price for a single component), while the price for a container activity house for employee dormitories on construction sites, which can also serve as an office with an access control booth, reaches 6,555 yuan.
III. Special Scenarios and High-end Models
- Expandable and Foldable Types: Double-wing expandable containers and cross-border foreign trade folding boxes have significant price fluctuations due to their complex structures. For example, the price for a 40-foot double-wing expandable container house starts at 949.5 yuan, with high-end models reaching up to 88,990 yuan. The price for a factory-direct 20-foot and 40-foot one-expansion-three-wing foldable container house for accommodation is 62,700 yuan.
- Cultural, Tourism, and Commercial Uses: Products with strong design elements, such as creative street district containers and internet-famous container shops, have moderate prices. For example, the starting price for a creative street district container used as a tourism attraction exhibition hall, box-type house, street-front shop, office, and internet-famous container is 266 yuan, while the price for a movable container shop designed as an internet-famous check-in spot for milk tea, coffee, and other beverages in container houses is 299 yuan.
IV. Factors Affecting Prices
- Materials and Craftsmanship: The cost of materials such as rock wool boards and foam boards directly affects prices, and configurations like steel structures and fireproof insulation increase costs.
- Size and Capacity: There are significant price differences between standard containers like 20-foot and 40-foot models and customized sizes.
- Functional Requirements: Additional functions such as canopies, decorations, and access control systems lead to price fluctuations.
- Supplier and Bulk Purchases: Factory-direct supplies and bulk engineering purchases may offer discounts, while retail prices are relatively higher.
