Admin September 15, 2026
The prices of container refitted housing vary significantly depending on specifications, configurations, uses, and suppliers, ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. The following introduces the price situations of container refitted housing from different dimensions:

Classification by Specifications and Uses
- Small-scale and Simple Refitting: Used for construction site guard rooms, simple warehouses, etc., with relatively low prices. For example, Guangzhou Zhicheng Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. provides a construction site guard room with a turnstile access control system, a movable refitted simple container house, priced at 285 yuan; Suzhou Zhonghuilongjian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.'s customized container mobile house, quick-assembly box office, packing box house, construction site dormitory, simple assembled movable panel house, priced at 256.5 yuan. However, such extremely low-priced products may only be quotes for partial components or under special cooperation models. The prices of conventional small-scale and simple refitted houses are mostly in the range of several thousand to ten thousand yuan. For example, Zhejiang Xiaoya Prefabricated Building Co., Ltd.'s detachable residential container that can be refitted into a residential container house is priced at 1600 yuan.
- Standard-specification Refitting: Refitting 40-foot shipping containers into mobile houses is relatively common. Qingdao Totem Container Co., Ltd.'s such products are priced at 10,000 yuan; Ningbo Beilun Jincheng Container Maintenance Service Co., Ltd.'s second-hand containers, 20-foot and 40-foot export used cargo containers for rent, and new shipping containers refitted into mobile houses are priced at 8000 yuan.
- Large-scale or Customized Refitting: If the container undergoes large-scale refitting with the addition of many facilities and personalized designs, the price will be higher. For example, Shenzhen Zhuohan Container Service Co., Ltd.'s container refitted housing office box house is priced at 15,000 yuan.
