Container Finished House Sales

Admin September 14, 2026

Container finished houses can be purchased through multiple channels, including direct contact with manufacturers, online platform procurement, or customized services. The specific choice should be based on the intended use, budget, and usage scenario. Here are the details:

1. Direct Contact with Manufacturers
Many Chinese enterprises have the capacity for large-scale production of container houses, with products covering movable houses, steel-structured modular building units, etc. For example, the export value of "movable houses" from Shenzhen ports in the first four months reached 1.68 billion yuan, with main products including movable houses made of other materials and steel-structured modular building units. These houses are designed modularly, with precise assembly of steel structures, walls, and pipelines completed in the factory, and then transported to the destination in container form for efficient on-site assembly. Typical cases include the purchase of 63 modular elderly care apartments by British merchants, which took only two weeks from shipment to completion of lifting; and the MRDC modular hotel project in Papua New Guinea, which shortened the overall delivery cycle by more than 50% compared to traditional construction.

2. Online Platform Procurement
Domestic online platforms (such as 1688) offer a large number of container house products covering different specifications and functions. For example, the light steel container living box from Foshan Xiangyu Housing Construction Co., Ltd. has a monthly sales volume of 128 square meters at a unit price of 128 yuan; the quick-assembly container house from Suzhou Gansu Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. has a monthly sales volume of 2 units at a unit price of 2,375 yuan. Product types include construction site color-steel houses, double-story light steel villas, cross-border assembled integrated houses, etc., with some supporting discounts and free shipping services. Users can filter by size, material (such as light steel, wood), and additional features (such as solar systems, glass-wall offices) according to their needs.

3. Customized Services
For long-term usage scenarios (such as construction site temporary buildings, homestays, shops), customized container houses are more advantageous. Enterprises like Zhongye Zhichuang offer brand-new customized services, designing dimensions, internal layouts, functional configurations, and appearances according to the intended use and budget. The steel materials, insulation and waterproofing, and electrical systems are all newly made, resulting in a longer service life. For example, the living container mobile house from Foshan Jiumazhonghui Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. supports in-depth factory inspections and has a unit price of 9,500 yuan; the new outdoor homestay customized container house from Hebei Jiacheng Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. has a unit price of 2,700 yuan and supports one-piece delivery.

4. Second-hand Market Options
If the budget is limited, second-hand container houses are a cost-effective choice. Online platforms offer more than 253 types of second-hand products, such as the 40-foot second-hand prefabricated container house from Zhongxing Xingwang Integrated Housing Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., with a unit price ranging from 4,576.06 to 4,703.93 yuan, supporting flat-pack folding transportation. However, it should be noted that second-hand containers have fixed dimensions, limited modification space, and potential rust issues on the container body that may affect the service life.
