Residential Container House Price List
Admin September 17, 2026
The prices of residential container houses vary significantly depending on the region, type, size, material, and customization requirements. Below are specific classifications and price ranges:

I. Classification by Region
- Shanghai Region: Prices range from several hundred yuan per month to tens of thousands of yuan for one-time purchases. For example, a 4-square-meter assembled container office has a monthly rent of 450 yuan; a small container mobile home can be purchased for 6,500 yuan (with 13 units sold per month); high-end customizations such as space capsule container mobile homes are priced at 160,000 yuan.
- Suzhou Region: It mainly features low-cost monthly rentals and medium-priced purchases. For instance, an 8-square-meter export gable-roof container has a monthly rent of 178 yuan; a color-steel-plate integrated house can be bought for 2,090 yuan; a custom glass-curtain-wall integrated house is priced at 8,800 yuan.
- Other Regions: Prices vary greatly and are influenced by bulk purchases. For example, the customization price for container apartments in Shenzhen's Gaoxin area is 7,000 yuan (for orders of ≥6,000 units); a Shengtai Hongfu foldable residential container costs 6,800 yuan (for orders of ≥1 unit); a curtain-wall packing-box house for temporary dormitories on construction sites is priced at 4,300 yuan (for orders of ≥20 units).
II. Classification by Size and Material
- Regular-sized Iron Sheet Rock Wool Sandwich Panel Houses:
- A 9-square-meter (3m×3m) house costs about 7,500 yuan per unit;
- An 18-square-meter (6m×3m) house costs about 11,000 yuan per unit;
- A 21-square-meter (7m×3m) house costs about 12,600 yuan per unit.
- Large Container Villas: The price per square meter does not exceed 1,000 yuan (except for high-end materials), suitable for long-term living needs.
III. Special Types and Customization Requirements
- Function-Oriented Types: For example, a tempered glass container sunroom costs 1,280 yuan; a supporting house for an internet-famous camping site costs 239.4 yuan; an export foldable container house costs 6,900 yuan.
- High-End Customized Types: Products such as Apple Pod mobile sales kiosks and double-glass-curtain-wall bed-and-breakfasts have relatively high prices. For example, an internet-famous container shop in Suzhou costs 284.5 yuan (it may be the unit price or monthly rent, which needs to be confirmed in context); a custom light-steel villa prefabricated house in Shenzhen starts at 10,000 yuan.
- Bulk Purchase Discounts: Some products indicate minimum purchase quantities (such as ≥20 units or ≥6,000 units), and the unit price may decrease as the quantity increases.
IV. Factors Affecting Prices
- Difference between Rental and Purchase: Some products in Shanghai are rented on a monthly basis (e.g., 450 yuan per month), while in Suzhou and other regions, one-time purchases are more common.
- Material and Craftsmanship: The costs of materials such as rock wool sandwich panels, tempered glass, and color steel plates vary; modular design and detachable structures may increase the price.
- Degree of Customization: Adjustments in size, interior and exterior decoration, and the addition of functional modules (such as bathrooms and kitchens) will significantly increase costs.
Suggestion: When making an actual purchase, it is necessary to clarify the purpose (temporary residence/long-term residence), budget range, and regional supply situation. Prioritize comparing the materials, sizes, and after-sales services of similar products, and avoid using price as the sole decision-making criterion.
