Chongqing New Type Container House

Chongqing's new type container house is a building form that takes standard containers as carriers and is transformed to have multiple uses and advantages. Here is a detailed introduction:

I. Diverse Types

1. Container-style office buildings: Transformed from standard containers, with common sizes of 20 feet and 40 feet. They can be combined as single or multiple units, featuring a sturdy structure and convenient transportation, suitable for project departments, construction site command centers, etc.
2. Foldable office buildings: Adopt a foldable structure, compressing the volume during transportation and quickly unfolding upon arrival. The unfolding time for a single unit can be controlled within 30 minutes, suitable for the office needs of exploration teams and temporary command posts that require frequent relocation.
3. Assembled office buildings: Combine light steel keels with color-coated steel plates for on-site modular assembly. They can be flexibly expanded according to the number of people and functional partitions, commonly seen in temporary office spaces in industrial parks and event planning sites.
4. Expandable office buildings: Add lateral or end expansion modules on the basis of containers, increasing the usable area by 30%-50% after unfolding, suitable for long-term on-site offices with higher requirements for spatial comfort.
5. Customized creative office buildings: Incorporate elements such as glass curtain walls, wood grain finishes, and irregular structures, used for brand displays, cultural and creative parks, high-end temporary offices, etc., balancing functionality and visual expression.

II. Wide Application Scenarios As a core city for infrastructure construction in western China, Chongqing is continuously advancing urban renewal, highway construction, and cultural and tourism projects. Traditional temporary buildings have found it difficult to meet the demands of efficient construction. The new type container houses are widely used in the engineering field due to their advantages of low carbon emissions, environmental protection, and rapid deployment, such as for temporary on-site accommodation, project departments, homestays, sentry boxes, hotels, and restrooms.

III. Outstanding Advantages

1. Sturdy structure: Adopt a steel structure with waterproof and rust-proof properties, fire-resistant rock wool interlayers, and thermal and sound insulation, ensuring safety and comfort during use.
2. Flexible and convenient: Support拼接搭建 (splicing and construction) and functional partitioning, allowing for quick layout adjustments according to needs to meet the requirements of different scenarios.
3. Cost-effective: Some manufacturers offer leasing services. For example, the leasing price of the compound residential containers for construction sites from Zhonglai Containers is as low as 6 yuan per day, reducing usage costs.
