Container House Cost Situation

The cost of container houses varies widely depending on factors such as purchase, rental, size, and material, with a broad price range.

Purchase Costs

• Basic Model Prices: A standard 3m x 6m (approximately 18 square meters) container house, the price for a new basic model ranges from tens of thousands of yuan, while second-hand models typically cost less than 10,000 yuan, with some priced around 5,000 yuan. For example, container houses used for accommodation at construction sites in Shaoxing City are priced between 8,000 and 10,000 yuan.
• Prices for Different Sizes: A 9-square-meter container-style house measuring 3m long, 3m wide, and 2.8m high generally costs around 7,500 yuan each; an 18-square-meter model measuring 6m long, 3m wide, and 2.8m high typically costs around 11,000 yuan each; a 21-square-meter model measuring 7m long, 3m wide, and 2.8m high, used as a two-story house with an independent corridor and canopy, generally costs around 12,600 yuan each.
• High-End Custom Prices: For high-end materials or custom types, prices are higher. Building a large container villa with high-end materials may result in a cost exceeding 1,000 yuan per square meter.

Rental Costs

• Daily Rental Prices: Rental fees are calculated daily, with the daily rent for a container house generally ranging from 3 yuan to over 7 yuan. For example, a container measuring 9 square meters indoors, 3m long, 3m wide, and 2.8m high costs 3 yuan per day; a container measuring 18 square meters indoors, 6m long, 3m wide, and 2.8m high costs 6 yuan per day, with this size being the most common on construction sites; a container rented for 7 yuan per day has a corridor and canopy about 1 meter wider than the 6-meter model.
• Rental Period and Deposit: There is usually a minimum rental period requirement, such as 120 days, and a deposit is required, with the deposit amount varying from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per container depending on the type.
