Guangzhou Container Modular House

Admin September 15, 2026

Guangzhou container modular houses are architectural forms that take containers as basic modules and are combined through industrial and standardized methods. They have characteristics such as flexible customization, rapid construction, and mobility, and are widely used in scenarios such as temporary construction sites, commercial services, and accommodation offices.

I. Core Features and Advantages

  1. Modular Design
    Using standard containers as basic units (such as 20-foot and 40-foot containers), architectural spaces are formed through horizontal splicing, vertical stacking, or offset combinations, supporting single-story or multi-story structures (up to 6 stories, with a height of ≤24 meters). For example, Guangzhou Jingge Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. provides "quick-assembly double-story customized modular container buildings" that can be rapidly constructed as construction site offices or dormitories.

  2. Materials and Craftsmanship
    The main structure mostly uses CORTEN weathering steel (corrosion-resistant and high-strength), with some using aluminum alloys or composite sandwich panels. The container bodies are formed through integral welding, light steel keel, or plug-in processes, ensuring wind and earthquake resistance (earthquake resistance design ≤ 8 degrees). For example, Guangzhou No. 1 Container Co., Ltd. adopts a third-generation modular design system, with assembly-type craftsmanship reaching the forefront of the industry.

  3. Diverse Functions
    According to their uses, they can be divided into accommodation types (such as mobile homestays), office types (such as temporary offices), commercial service types (such as convenience stores and online celebrity shops), sanitary types (such as mobile toilets), and special types (such as medical containers and explosion-proof containers). For example, Guangdong Guangsheng Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. provides container-modified shops that support creative online celebrity street scenarios.

II. Application Scenarios and Cases

  1. Temporary Construction Sites
    The "packing container houses" of Guangzhou Haoyuan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. and the "container access control rooms" of Guangzhou Zhicheng Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. are widely used in construction site real-name access channels and security duty rooms, supporting 7-day replacement and 48-hour delivery, with guaranteed materials and reusable disassembly.

  2. Commercial and Accommodation
    The "modular quick-assembly container houses" of Guangzhou Jingge Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. can be customized as temporary shops and scenic homestays, with monthly sales reaching 3 units; the modular inhabited containers of Guangzhou No. 1 Container Co., Ltd. have passed national green building material certifications, covering diverse scenarios such as temporary construction sites and office accommodations.

  3. Emergency and Mobile Facilities
    Guangzhou Guizu Industrial Co., Ltd. provides supporting facilities for infrastructure construction sites, such as mobile toilets and movable guard posts; Guangzhou Yonghui Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. provides 48-hour emergency repair services, supporting customized needs such as Lingnan-style mobile houses and A1 assembly-type enclosures.

III. Technical Specifications and Safety Requirements

  1. Structural Safety
    The design service life is divided into 50 years (structural coefficient ≥ 1.0) and 25 years (≥ 0.95). GB/T12418 inspection-qualified containers must be used to ensure that the beams and columns are free of defects and the corner fittings are intact. The force path of the pure steel frame is "panel secondary beam → main beam → corner column → corner fitting → foundation", with the corner fitting being the only stacking force transmission point.

  2. Fire and Corrosion Prevention
    The use of flammable core materials such as EPS for enclosure filling is prohibited. Crowded places need to use Class A rock wool/glass wool with a fire resistance limit of ≥ 0.5 hours. Steel structures need to be coated with fire-resistant coatings and equipped with escape routes (clear width ≥ 0.9 meters), fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors.
