Container House Customization Process

Admin September 15, 2026

The container house customization process mainly consists of four stages: requirement communication, design planning, production and manufacturing, and transportation and installation, as detailed below:

I. Requirement Communication and Solution Confirmation
Users need to clarify the usage scenarios (such as construction site dormitories, homestays, office areas, etc.), functional requirements (such as the number of occupants, water and electricity configurations, special functional modules), budget range, and size preferences (standard 20/40-foot containers or non-standard customized sizes). For example, construction site dormitories may require multi-story stacking designs, while cultural and tourism homestays need to focus on exterior styling and interior decoration styles. At the same time, material requirements need to be confirmed, such as whether the core material of the sandwich panel is Class A non-combustible material (rock wool or glass wool), whether the thickness of the frame steel meets the standards (the wall thickness of the columns should not be less than 2.3mm), and whether compliance documents such as fire safety inspection reports are required.

II. Design Planning and Drawing Deepening
The manufacturer completes the structural design and detailed drawings based on user requirements, including the welding joints of the steel structure frame, the composite processing methods of the wall and roof panels, the locations of doors and windows, and the pre-buried paths of internal water and electricity pipelines. For irregular sizes or special functional requirements (such as rooftop greening, smart configurations), modular disassembly designs are required to ensure that components can be repeatedly disassembled and assembled. For example, when designing a trendy container with a streamlined appearance or a mirror-finished stainless steel exterior wall, the cutting process and material splicing methods need to be planned in advance.

III. Production and Manufacturing and Quality Control

  1. Frame Processing: Channel steel and square tubes are used for cutting and welding to form the bottom main beams and column frames. Full welding treatment is required, and surface anti-rust treatment is applied.
  2. Wall and Roof Panel Compositing: After filling with insulation materials (such as rock wool), the panels are covered, ensuring panel flatness and tightness.
  3. System Pre-installation: Pre-installation of doors, windows, electrical systems (such as sockets, air conditioning dedicated lines), and water supply and drainage systems is completed in the factory to reduce on-site work volume.
  4. Trial Assembly and Inspection: Before leaving the factory, module trial assembly is conducted to verify component compatibility and structural stability, while testing performance indicators such as fire resistance, water resistance, and earthquake resistance.

IV. Transportation and Installation and Acceptance and Delivery

  1. Transportation Preparation: Plan transportation routes based on module sizes and confirm hoisting access conditions to avoid inability to enter the site due to narrow roads.
  2. On-site Assembly: Use cranes to lift modules to designated locations and complete assembly through bolts or welding, focusing on checking the strength of connection joints and levelness.
  3. Acceptance and Delivery: Users need to verify whether the internal and external dimensions, material thickness, and electrical configurations meet the contract requirements, while testing the functionality of the water and electricity systems and door and window tightness.
