  • Customized, Fully Functional Portable Panel Houses: The movable container house from Hebei Yitai Metal Products Co., Ltd. is priced at 455 yuan; the construction site dormitory container living unit from Zhongyu Steel Structure Co., Ltd. is priced at 149 yuan per square meter.

  • Container Houses with Interior Decoration and High Configuration: The container living unit, quick-assembly portable house with interior decoration and thickened simple activity house from Suzhou Daxiang Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. is priced at 950 yuan. These houses are not only more structurally stable but also have interior decoration and are equipped with basic living facilities, allowing for direct occupancy, suitable for long-term living or scenarios with certain living quality requirements.

  • Material Quality: Using higher-quality and more durable materials, such as high-strength steel and panels with better fire and water resistance, increases costs and thus raises prices.
  • Configuration and Facilities: The level of interior decoration luxury and the grade and quantity of furniture and appliances equipped significantly impact prices.
