Shilou Container House
Shilou container houses generally refer to temporary or permanent buildings that adopt container structures or modular designs, featuring mobility and rapid assembly. Common types include prefabricated residential panel houses, color-steel houses, and weathering steel container houses.

I. Prefabricated Residential Panel Houses
Taking the procurement project in Shilou Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou City as an example, these houses utilize steel structural frames with dimensions of 6000×3000×2896 millimeters, including bathrooms and partitions, and fall under the category of 'other business premises'. Their characteristics include factory prefabrication and rapid on-site assembly, making them suitable for temporary office or residential scenarios. The winning bidder was Guangzhou Yaxin Steel Structure Products Co., Ltd., with a total project cost exceeding 1.85 million yuan, exemplifying a typical model of large-scale procurement.
II. Color-Steel House System
Large-span color-steel houses in Shilou County employ steel skeletons with color-steel composite panel cladding structures, such as the 'Qihong 106' model, featuring square shapes and modular splicing capabilities. These houses are economical and practical but have limited mobility (1-2 relocations), requiring substantial on-site operations, making them suitable for long-term fixed use scenarios. Technical parameters indicate that color-steel houses originated in the late 1950s, with highly integrated leasing systems established in European and American markets, represented by manufacturers such as France's ALGECO and Germany's ALHO.
III. Weathering Steel Container Houses
The Guizu container houses introduced by Hangzhou Yuanzhu Technology utilize weathering steel materials, with the same dimensions of 6000×3000×2896 millimeters, featuring earthquake and wind resistance, as well as recyclability. Their advantages lie in complete factory manufacturing, easy installation and disassembly, strong transportation adaptability, and support for customization of appearance and interiors. This project has been applied in hotel accommodation scenarios, demonstrating technological breakthroughs in the transformation of container houses into permanent buildings.
IV. Compliance Considerations
It is important to note that unauthorized modifications to container houses may involve illegal construction issues. For instance, in the case of Shimen Er Road Street in Shanghai, a 250-square-meter container house was deemed illegal construction due to the connection of water and electricity and the installation of doors and windows, ultimately being dismantled through administrative enforcement and civil mediation. This indicates that container houses must strictly comply with urban and rural planning regulations, and temporary use also requires relevant permits.
