Xi'an Container House Sizes

Common sizes of container houses in Xi'an mainly include 3m×3m, 6m×3m, and 7m×3m, in addition to customized sizes and specifications related to shipping containers.

Standard Size Types

1. 3m×3m×2.8m
   With an area of 9 square meters, this size is relatively compact and is typically used for construction site guardrooms, small warehouses, or temporary storage. Due to its small size, material utilization is lower, and it is generally only produced when customers have special requirements.

2. 6m×3m×2.8m
   Covering an area of 18 square meters, this is the most common standard size for construction sites and road construction in Xi'an. It can accommodate about 10 people for living or be converted into an office, kitchen, or toilet. Its "golden ratio" design facilitates lifting and transportation, with smooth internal circulation and the ability to meet basic living needs.

3. 7m×3m×2.8m
   With an area of 21 square meters, this size is often used for two-story container mobile homes, adding corridors and awnings compared to the 6m model, making it suitable for dormitories or office spaces. The two-story structure expands the usable area while maintaining consistency in indoor space.

Customized and Special Sizes

1. Customized Types
   Sizes can be flexibly adjusted according to customer needs, with areas ranging from small to large. For example, some manufacturers in Xi'an offer specifications such as 3m×8m and 3m×9m, suitable for container hotels, villas, or commercial buildings. Customization requires consultation with the manufacturer for specific plans.

2. Shipping Container Specifications
   Shipping standard containers come in various sizes, with common specifications including:

   • 20-foot container: External dimensions of 5898mm×2352mm×2390mm, with an internal volume of approximately 33 cubic meters;
   • 40-foot container: External dimensions of 12024mm×2352mm×2390mm, with an internal volume of approximately 67 cubic meters;
   • 45-foot high cube container: Internal dimensions of 13.58m×2.34m×2.68m.
     These containers can be modified for living or office use after transformation, but attention should be paid to internal clear height and space utilization.

Selection Recommendations
For office and temporary living in Xi'an construction sites, the 3m×6m specification is recommended for its balance of space efficiency and transportation convenience. If functional expansion or accommodation of more people is required, consider the 7m model or customized sizes. Shipping container modifications are suitable for scenarios with high space requirements, but the modification cost should be evaluated.
