Pudong Container House Price

Admin September 10, 2026

Pudong container house prices vary significantly by type and configuration. Common price ranges are as follows:

1. Quick-assemble container houses Taking a quick-assemble unit with a $250 frame as an example, the fit-out includes wall panels, flooring, a ceiling, one door, and two windows, for a full-set price of $597. Dimensions are 3 m wide, 6 m long, and 2.8 m high, suitable for temporary site lodging or storage. The price edge comes from modular design for fast assembly and dismantling, plus a complete basic package for short-term use.

2. Site packing-box mobile container houses These units are mainly leased, at $62.5/month (4 square meters), and suit shorter projects that need flexible redeployment. They are lightweight, easy to transport and reuse, though long-term rental can cost more than buying outright.

3. Container mobile offices Color-steel integrated container offices are priced at $639. They typically use a reinforced frame and fire- and heat-resistant materials, and can be fitted with desks, chairs, lighting, and similar equipment for site management or temporary offices. The price is slightly above a basic quick-assemble unit, with stronger functionality and durability.

4. Habitable mobile container activity houses Aimed at temporary site lodging, these units cost $667 and include basic living fittings (such as beds and ventilation). Size is similar to quick-assemble houses, but the interior layout is better optimized for workers who stay longer.

5. Export foldable container houses Export-grade foldable units are priced at $958. The foldable design cuts shipping volume by more than 60%, sharply lowering logistics cost. They usually use high-strength steel with wind, rain, and theft resistance, and suit overseas projects or long-distance transport.

Core drivers of price differences:

  • Configuration complexity: units with doors and windows, electrical circuits, and insulation cost clearly more than a bare frame.
  • Use case: leasing fits short-term needs; purchase fits long-term or high-frequency use.
  • Materials and workmanship: export units must meet international standards, so materials and process costs are higher.

Choose the type by actual needs (service period, functions, budget), and ask suppliers first for a customized quote.
