• Brand-new Basic Model: A brand-new container house with standard dimensions (6 meters long × 3 meters wide) costs about 10,000 yuan, suitable for scenarios with basic durability requirements.
• Functionally Upgraded Model: Container houses with folding functions or packing designs cost between 8,000 and 12,000 yuan, facilitating transportation and repeated use, suitable for temporary offices on construction sites or mobile shops.

• Commercial Custom Model: The price starts at 3,200 yuan per square meter. If calculated based on standard dimensions (e.g., 20 square meters), the total price easily exceeds 100,000 yuan, suitable for branded chain homestays or high-end commercial spaces.

3. Price Classification by Usage Scenario

• Temporary Construction Site Housing: Refurbished from second-hand containers, the price per square meter ranges from 600 to 900 yuan, with the total price for a set (about 30 square meters) ranging from 18,000 to 26,000 yuan, including basic electrical circuits and simple decoration.

Purchase Recommendations:

• Clearly define the purpose (temporary/long-term, residential/commercial) and budget range;
• Prioritize checking the residue testing report and structural safety of second-hand containers;
• For high-end custom orders, confirm design drawings, material lists, and after-sales maintenance terms.
