Huangpu District Container House Prices

Admin September 17, 2026

The prices of container houses in Huangpu District vary significantly depending on their type and specifications, and specific prices need to be determined through negotiation with suppliers based on actual needs. Here is an analysis of common types and their price ranges:

1. Flatbed Container Houses
These houses primarily offer basic functions and are typically used for temporary office or storage purposes. According to market data, the lower price limit is approximately 460 yuan per unit, corresponding to an area of ≥9 square meters. They have a relatively low unit price but offer relatively simple functions. These houses have a simple structure, often using single-layer steel plates or simple thermal insulation materials, making them suitable for short-term use or scenarios with limited budgets.

2. Fire-Resistant Residential Container Mobile Prefabricated Houses
These houses add fire-resistant properties to their basic functions and are suitable for construction site dormitories, temporary residences, and other scenarios. Prices are calculated per "container", with a quoted price of 6,000 yuan for 10 containers, indicating a cost of approximately 600 yuan per container. However, it should be noted that this price may include bulk purchase discounts. Their structures typically use fire-resistant rock wool boards or flame-retardant materials, and they are equipped with basic living facilities inside, offering higher safety compared to flatbed container houses.

3. 40-Foot Domestic Trade Container Residential Houses
These houses are based on standard shipping containers and have a larger area and complete functions, making them suitable for long-term residences or commercial purposes. The lower price limit is 16,500 yuan per unit, corresponding to a 40-foot specification (approximately 12 meters long and 2.4 meters wide). Their advantages include a sturdy structure, high space utilization, and the ability to configure water and electricity systems, thermal insulation layers, and living facilities inside. However, their unit price is significantly higher than that of the first two types of products.

Core Factors Affecting Price Differences

  • Materials and Craftsmanship: Configurations such as fire-resistant materials, thermal insulation layers, and interior decorations directly affect costs.
  • Specifications and Area: Larger house sizes may result in a lower unit area price but an increase in total price.
  • Functional Requirements: Residential houses require water and electricity, ventilation systems, etc., resulting in higher costs than storage houses.
  • Purchase Quantity: Bulk purchases usually come with discounts, while single-unit purchases may have higher prices.

Suggestions
To obtain accurate quotes, the following information needs to be clarified:

  • House purpose (residential/office/storage);
  • Required area or specifications;
  • Whether special functions such as fire resistance and thermal insulation are required;
  • Purchase quantity and delivery time.
    By communicating the above details with suppliers, costs can be further optimized, and products can be ensured to meet requirements.
