Admin September 15, 2026

The cost of container houses in Shanghai varies depending on the type, specifications, configuration, and supplier, with price ranges roughly from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Here are some specific categories and price ranges:

  1. Basic Container Houses:

    • These houses typically have a simple structure and are primarily used for living or office purposes, with relatively low prices. For example, some assembled container mobile homes cost about 450 yuan per month (charged by area, 4 square meters), suitable for short-term use or users with limited budgets.
    • Another type of basic container house, such as small container mobile homes, are used for storage or simple living, with prices possibly around 6,500 yuan, suitable for temporary use on construction sites or personal storage needs.
  2. Customized Container Houses:

    • Customized container houses are designed according to user needs, including interior decoration and functional zoning, with relatively high prices. For example, Zhuiyou Creative Container Steel Structure Integrated Houses can be assembled on-site to customize offices or prefabricated houses, with prices around 270.75 yuan per square meter (specific prices depend on area and configuration).
    • Another type of customized house, such as outdoor creative quick-assembly mobile integrated houses, are suitable for scenic camping sites or cultural tourism homestays, with prices around 295.83 yuan per square meter, providing modular assembly solutions.
  3. High-end Container Houses:

    • High-end container houses typically use higher-quality materials and finer craftsmanship, with luxurious interior decoration and complete functions. For example, tempered glass container mobile homes cost as high as 1,280 yuan per square meter, suitable for users with high requirements for living quality.
    • Another type of high-end customized house, such as customized space capsule container mobile homes, even cost up to 160,000 yuan each, providing an ultimate living experience and a sense of technology.
  4. Second-hand Container Houses:

    • Second-hand container houses have relatively low prices, but attention should be paid to the service life, structural safety, and interior decoration condition of the houses. For example, some second-hand container freight containers cost about 6,999 yuan to 14,000 yuan, suitable for users with limited budgets and low requirements for house quality.
