Guangzhou Container House Engineering

Guangzhou has formed a complete industrial chain in the field of container house engineering, covering design, production, construction, and export, with its technological level and market competitiveness leading the country.

I. Core Enterprises and Technological Advantages ZIM Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. in Jiangmen, Guangdong, is an industry benchmark. It breaks down buildings into independent modules and completes steel structure welding, wall assembly, and interior decoration in the factory, achieving the goal of 'building houses like making cars'. This industrial production model shortens the construction period by 50% and reduces costs by more than 30%. Its products have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions, including Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom, with over 200 projects completed. For example, in 2026, a four-star hotel with 99 guest rooms in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was assembled using only 104 modules.

II. Diversified Development of Local Enterprises

1. Guangzhou Kezu Steel Structure Design and Installation Co., Ltd.: Specializing in high-end integrated housing, it has 18 years of industry experience and provides one-stop services for design, production, and installation. Its products use high-strength galvanized aluminum-zinc materials, incorporate European and American technologies, and optimize structures through imported software. It has served over 50,000 customers and has a global business presence.
2. Guangzhou Kechuang Construction Technology Co., Ltd.: Focusing on modular and universal design, its products are used in temporary construction sites for construction projects, tourist hotels, and other fields. Its packing-box units follow Six-Sigma management standards and are equipped with a QC quality inspection system to ensure stable quality.
3. Guangzhou No.1 Container Co., Ltd.: With modular living containers as its core product, it has obtained national green building material certification and won honors such as 'Energy-saving Demonstration Product for Prefabricated Buildings' and 'Benchmark Brand in the Temporary Construction Industry'. Its products cover various scenarios, including temporary construction sites for construction projects and office accommodations.

III. Market Applications and Export Performance According to Shenzhen Customs data, in the first four months of 2026, enterprises across the country exported modular buildings worth 1.68 billion yuan through Shenzhen ports, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, with exports to more than 150 countries and regions. Guangzhou enterprises have secured a significant market share internationally due to their cost advantages (more than 40% lower than similar British products) and technological flexibility (capable of constructing buildings over 10 stories high). For example, ZIM Modular Building shortened the construction period by half for an expansion project of a nursing home in London, the United Kingdom, compared to traditional construction methods.

IV. Policy Support and Industry Trends The rise of Guangzhou's container house engineering industry is driven by both policy guidance and technological innovation. The government supports industrial development through supporting measures such as planning permits and power capacity expansion, while enterprises enhance efficiency through intelligent production lines (such as the more than 40 patented production lines of Guangzhou No.1 Container). In the future, with the increasing demand for green buildings from international events such as the APEC meetings, Guangzhou is expected to further consolidate its position as a global export hub for modular buildings.
