- Design Planning:
- Design Drawings: Prepare design drawings for the container house, including floor plans, elevation plans, sectional views, etc., to clarify the layout, dimensions, and structure of the house. For example, some container houses may have a layout of two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen, with a width of 12 meters and a depth of 4.9 meters, assembled from two containers. These dimensions and layouts need to be clearly presented in the drawings.
- Functional Planning: Plan the functions of the house according to your own needs, such as whether to set up spaces for receiving clients, warehouses, garages, daily living rooms for the family, and other specific rooms, as well as your personal expectations and special requirements for the house.
- Budget and Construction Period: Determine the approximate total cost, the approximate duration of the construction period, and whether it is urgent, etc., to facilitate reasonable arrangements during the application and subsequent construction process.

Application Process
- Consult Local Authorities: Consult the specific requirements and procedures for the application at the management windows of the local planning and construction bureau (windows of the Ministry, Department, or Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and their subordinate offices).
- Submit Application: Submit the prepared application materials to the relevant departments and fill out the application forms.
