Refitted Housing Container Sales

Admin September 15, 2026

The selling prices of refitted housing containers vary depending on specifications, configurations, condition, and supplier, generally ranging from 3,000 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Here is some specific information:

  1. Price Range:

    • Basic Refurbished Residential Model: For a 6-meter second-hand container mobile home, basic refurbishment (rust removal and painting, replacement of old flooring, simple electrical and plumbing repairs) typically costs under 10,000 yuan.
    • Premium Refurbished Residential Model: If equipped with new rock wool, Class A fire-resistant materials, new electrical circuits, PVC flooring, and hollow windows, the price requires negotiation and is usually higher than the basic refurbished model.
    • Construction Site Special Discount Containers: These vary in condition, with prices possibly under 3,000 yuan. However, buyers must cover transportation and lifting costs themselves, and purchasing such poorly conditioned containers is generally not recommended.
    • Brand-New or Custom-Refitted Containers: Prices depend on specific configurations and supplier quotes and may be significantly higher than those of second-hand containers. For example, custom-refitted 20-foot container homes for mobile coffee shops or bars may cost tens of thousands of yuan.
  2. Factors Affecting Price:

    • Size and Specifications: Prices differ for containers of various sizes, such as 20-foot and 40-foot containers.
    • Condition: New containers are more expensive than second-hand ones, and the condition and service life of second-hand containers also affect the price.
    • Configurations and Refits: Interior decorations, electrical and plumbing configurations, and external refits (such as adding doors, windows, or balconies) all increase costs.
    • Supplier and Region: Prices may vary among different suppliers and regions. It is advisable to compare prices and services from multiple suppliers.
  3. Purchase Recommendations:

    • Clearly define your needs and budget before purchasing to select the appropriate container size and configuration.
    • Carefully compare prices and services from different suppliers and choose reputable and reasonably priced ones.
    • Before signing the contract, ensure that the price includes transportation and lifting costs to avoid subsequent disputes.
