What is the General Price of Prefabricated Houses?

Admin September 17, 2026

The price of prefabricated houses varies depending on the type and configuration, generally ranging from less than $20,000 to over a thousand yuan per square meter.

Expandable Container Houses: These houses are mobile and can be quickly set up. The cost of the house itself is less than $16,000, but this is just the price of the house itself. After adding freight, customs duties, and other miscellaneous expenses, the landed price is close to $29,000. This type of prefabricated house is suitable for users who have high mobility requirements, a relatively limited budget, and can accept certain additional costs, such as some temporary office spaces and residential points for field operations.

Cement Prefabricated Houses: Their price composition is relatively complex. The basic price per square meter (including factory production and quality inspection) ranges from 220 to 250 yuan, and an additional 50 yuan is required for transportation to the construction site and installation on the frame. In Henan, the all-inclusive price for ordinary residential houses is slightly over 300 yuan per square meter. However, if advanced configurations such as photovoltaic power generation are added, an additional 50 to 100 yuan per square meter is required. For non-pilot areas, due to factors such as freight, the unit price may rise to 400 yuan per square meter. Moreover, it should be noted that the 300 yuan quoted by many merchants is just the rough-in price. If actual expenses such as water and electricity installation and decoration are included, the cost per square meter will be 800 to 1000 yuan. Taking rural areas in Henan as an example, building a 200-square-meter prefabricated house at a cost of slightly over 300 yuan per square meter only requires 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Cement prefabricated houses are more suitable for long-term residence and users who have certain requirements for the stability and functionality of the house, such as rural self-built houses and some small commercial buildings.

Overall, the price of prefabricated houses is influenced by various factors, including house type, configuration, transportation distance, and location. When purchasing a prefabricated house, users need to comprehensively consider these factors based on their actual needs and budget to choose the most suitable prefabricated house for themselves.
