Chengdu Container House Price
Admin September 15, 2026
The price range of container houses in Chengdu generally ranges from 5,000 yuan to 23,800 yuan or more, with specific prices varying depending on factors such as house type, configuration, and condition. Here is an introduction to the prices of container houses of different types and situations:

Basic Container Houses:
- The price of a basic, brand-new 3×6-meter container house may vary from tens of thousands of yuan, with some listed at prices ranging from 8,500 to 9,500 yuan, and others from 6,700 to 6,800 yuan. Second-hand prices are usually within 10,000 yuan, with some listed at around 5,000 yuan. When converted by area, the price per square meter varies greatly depending on the configuration. Simple and economical prefabricated temporary buildings cost about 300 yuan per square meter, standard types cost about 400 yuan per square meter, luxury custom types can reach 1,000 yuan per square meter, and high-end, fully furnished types cost 2,000 yuan per square meter.
Container Houses with Specific Configurations:
- Container houses with functions such as fire prevention, waterproofing, moisture resistance, wind resistance, earthquake resistance, and rain resistance are priced at 23,800 yuan. Their dimensions are single-box prefabricated temporary buildings (standard rooms) with a 20-foot container size, and specifications of 605824382680 (mm). There are also assembled box-type prefabricated temporary buildings available in 40, 60, and 80-foot container sizes, which can be stacked vertically or horizontally and can also be produced according to customer requirements.
Factors Affecting Price:
- Material: Color steel plates are inexpensive but have poor sound insulation; rock wool sandwich panels are about 30% more expensive but offer superior fire prevention and thermal insulation; EPS core materials are low-cost but have slightly weaker performance. The thickness of the panels and the color steel skin also directly affect the price, and the use of rock wool fireproof panels is mandatory for fire safety in temporary buildings on construction sites.
- Specification: When the area is less than 100 square meters, the unit price increases by about 10%; when the area is greater than 500 square meters, the unit price decreases by 10-15%; a two-story structure is 15-25% more expensive than the first floor.
- Region: Prices in first-tier cities are 10-30% higher than those in second- and third-tier cities; transportation distances exceeding 50 km require additional charges based on distance.
- Additional Costs: Foundation treatment may account for about 15% of the total cost.
- Project Volume: The larger the area, the lower the unit price; scattered construction of small areas will result in a much higher unit price. In remote areas, unit prices will also increase due to rising labor and transportation costs.
