Prefabricated Welded House

Admin September 17, 2026

A prefabricated welded house is a building model manufactured in a factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly, featuring short construction periods, controllable quality, and high cost-effectiveness.

Production Process

The production of a prefabricated welded house typically involves three stages:

  1. Design Phase: A team of professional designers completes the rendering and detailed design drawings based on requirements, ensuring structural safety and functional suitability. For example, container houses require specifications such as dimensions, load-bearing capacity, and window and door positions.
  2. Manufacturing Phase: Integrated operations are carried out in the factory, including welding, grinding, painting, and window and door production. Taking container houses as an example, their main structure is fixed through welding, and the surface is treated with anti-corrosion measures before installing windows and doors, ensuring a high degree of standardization in the production process.
  3. Installation Phase: Professional teams are responsible for on-site assembly, with some companies offering on-site installation services. For instance, Shanghai Yuanjue Construction Technology Co., Ltd. can complete the entire process from transportation to assembly, shortening the construction period.

Core Advantages

  1. Short Construction Period: Traditional buildings take 2.5-3 years, while prefabricated welded houses can significantly reduce this time. For example, a certain affordable housing project used concrete module assembly, with a construction period of only one year; some expandable container houses even achieve "one month of production, one month of transportation, and one day of assembly."
  2. Controllable Quality: Factory production avoids on-site construction errors, with unified management of materials and processes, ensuring that indicators such as structural strength and waterproof performance meet standards.
  3. High Cost-Effectiveness: Taking a 70-square-meter fully furnished prefabricated house as an example, the total cost is approximately $30,000 (about 200,000 yuan), which is lower than that of traditional buildings. Moreover, it can be repeatedly disassembled and reused, reducing long-term investment.

Application Scenarios

Prefabricated welded houses have covered multiple fields such as residential, office, and commercial applications. For example, Shanghai Yuanjue Construction Technology Co., Ltd. undertook the construction of the Wisdom Bay Creative Office District project, using more than 500 container units to build office spaces that combine flexibility and aesthetics. Additionally, their 3-meter-wide prefabricated welded container houses are widely used in temporary residences, construction site dormitories, and other scenarios.

Price Reference

Prices vary depending on materials, scale, and configuration. Taking container houses as an example, the unit price of basic models is approximately 2,000-3,000 yuan per square meter, with the total price of fully furnished versions starting at around 200,000 yuan, suitable for users with limited budgets but seeking efficiency.
