Container Houses and Light Steel Structures

Admin September 17, 2026

Container houses and light steel structures are characterized by low cost, rapid construction, diverse designs, superior performance, convenient transportation, and sustainable use.

Cost: The overall cost of container houses is low. A quick-assembly container frame costs just over 1,000 yuan, with the total cost being less than one-tenth of that of traditional buildings. Prices for light steel structure integrated houses vary among manufacturers. For example, Hangzhou Suge Construction Technology Co., Ltd. offers light steel structure integrated houses for 500 yuan, while Foshan Rongjie Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. provides Rongjie Space Capsule Homestay Mobile Houses for 299 yuan.

Construction Speed and Design: Regardless of the area, container houses can be easily set up within seven working days. They can be assembled in various ways to create different designs, making them ideal for scenic area homestays, home renovations, and more.

Performance: Container houses utilize a light steel structure system with walls covered in composite EPS insulation panels. All wall panels and accessories can be folded and packed for easy installation. The steel structure enables the house to withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h. The lightweight structure demonstrates excellent integrity during earthquakes equivalent to or stronger than a seismic intensity of 8 degrees. The roof features a structural waterproof design, enhancing the house's air and water tightness. Decorative accessories such as awnings can be added based on practical applications before delivery.

Transportation and Sustainability: Container houses can be transported as a whole or compressed and packed for transportation, requiring minimal on-site foundation work. They are ready for use upon arrival and can be recycled, lasting up to 20 years without generating any construction waste. The roof, floor, and electrical systems are fully prefabricated in the factory, ensuring quick and easy on-site installation and reducing the time from construction to use.
