Chongqing Container House Price

Admin September 15, 2026

The prices of container houses in Chongqing vary due to differences in type, configuration, condition, and supplier, with a price range roughly from 475 yuan to over 5000 yuan. Here is a detailed classification and price analysis:

1. Basic Container Houses
These are mostly temporary housing for construction sites, made of color-steel plates with a simple structure, mainly for accommodation. For example, the common color-steel plate container dormitories on construction sites in Chongqing have a market price of 95 yuan to 475 yuan in the past three months, and some movable packing-box units have the same price. These houses usually have a size of 3 meters by 6 meters, with basic functions such as wind resistance, fire resistance, and earthquake resistance, but relatively weak sound insulation and thermal insulation performance, suitable for short-term construction projects.

2. Customized Container Houses
For commercial or long-term living needs, the prices of customized container houses increase significantly. For example, internet-famous container villas and trendy food container houses, due to the involvement of exterior painting, shape design, and interior decoration, can cost 1425 yuan to 1710 yuan. These houses are mostly made of all-steel structures, equipped with solid wood floors, and some have integrated bathrooms, air conditioners, and other facilities, with a service life of over 10 years, suitable for scenic area homestays, street shops, and other scenarios.

3. Second-hand Container Houses
The prices of second-hand container houses are affected by their condition, brand, and purchase quantity. For example, a supplier in Xi'an, Shaanxi, offers second-hand mobile homes at a price of 5000 yuan per set for 1-99 sets, and the price can be reduced to 4800 yuan per set for bulk purchases (≥100 sets). These houses are mostly modified from shipping containers, with a main size of 6 meters long, and require self-renovation of the interior, suitable for projects with a limited budget but requiring rapid deployment.

4. High-end Modular Containers
Some suppliers offer high-end products such as fire-rated safety boxes and modular villas, with prices to be negotiated. For example, the customized special-shaped boxes and multi-story dormitories from Chongqing Delaisi Container Co., Ltd., due to the use of special materials or complex structures, may have a price exceeding 5000 yuan per set, and even be customized according to the project scale.

Purchase Recommendations:

  • For short-term use (such as construction site dormitories), prioritize basic types, which are low-cost and easy to assemble and disassemble;
  • For commercial purposes (such as shops and homestays), it is recommended to choose customized designs to enhance brand image;
  • For long-term living, pay attention to the environmental friendliness of materials (such as solid wood floors and radiation-free paints) and structural stability (such as all-steel frames).
