How to Charge for Container Houses

The charging methods for container houses mainly include purchase and rental, with prices influenced by factors such as size, material, configuration, condition, and region. Purchase prices range from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, while rental prices typically start at a few yuan per day. Details are as follows:

Purchase Prices

• Basic Models: A 3m x 6m (approximately 18 square meters) container house usually costs around 10,000 yuan. Some brand-new basic models may cost “tens of thousands of yuan”, while second-hand ones are generally priced below 10,000 yuan, with some listed at around 5,000 yuan.
• Custom Models: Prices vary significantly based on size, material, and configuration. For example, a 3m x 3m x 2.8m container house with an area of 9 square meters typically costs around 7,500 yuan each; a 6m x 3m x 2.8m container house with an area of 18 square meters usually costs around 11,000 yuan each; a 7m x 3m x 2.8m container house with an area of 21 square meters, often used as a two-story building with an independent corridor and canopy, typically costs around 12,600 yuan each.
• High-End Models: Some container houses equipped with fire, water, moisture, wind, earthquake, and rain resistance features can cost as much as 23,800 yuan.

Rental Prices

• Daily Rent: Rental prices for container houses are usually calculated per day, with daily rent starting at around 6 yuan, depending on the size and configuration of the container. For example, an 18-square-meter residential container house starts at 6 yuan per day.
• Rental Period Requirements: There is usually a minimum rental period requirement, such as 120 days, with additional freight charges. Some suppliers also offer short-term rental services, but the rent may be relatively higher.
• Deposit and Freight: In addition to the rent, customers are required to pay a deposit and freight. The deposit is usually refunded upon the expiration of the rental period, while the freight is determined by factors such as the rental location and the size and quantity of the containers.
