Yongzhou Container House Price

Admin September 15, 2026

The prices of container houses in Yongzhou vary depending on specifications, condition (new or used), configurations, and whether they are rented or purchased. The general price ranges are as follows:

I. Purchase Prices

  1. Second-hand Container Houses:
  • Basic refurbished residential models (rust removal and painting, old flooring, simple electrical and plumbing repairs): Under RMB 10,000 (taking a 6-meter container as an example, with an area of approximately 18 square meters, equating to about RMB 500-800 per square meter).
  • Premium refurbished models (new rock wool insulation, Class A fire resistance, new electrical circuits, PVC flooring, hollow windows): Prices to be negotiated, potentially 30%-50% higher than the basic models.
  • Special discounted containers for construction sites: Under RMB 3,000, but in poor condition and require self-payment for freight and lifting, generally not recommended.
  1. Brand-new Container Houses:
  • Standard 3m x 6m container houses: Prices vary widely, with basic models possibly ranging from several tens of thousands of yuan, depending on materials (e.g., color steel plates, rock wool sandwich panels) and configurations (e.g., doors, windows, electrical circuits).
  • Customized models: Prices can range from RMB 3,500 to RMB 14,000 depending on size, materials, and functional requirements (e.g., a 7m x 3m customized container).

II. Rental Prices

  1. Daily Rental Rates:
  • For common sizes (e.g., 3m x 6m) of container houses, daily rental rates start at RMB 6, with some suppliers offering a special rate of RMB 6 per day for 18-square-meter container houses.
  • Rental typically requires a minimum lease period of 120 days, with freight costs calculated separately (it is advisable to choose local suppliers to save on costs).
  1. Long-term Rental Discounts:
  • For lease periods exceeding 4 months, suppliers may offer discounts, which need to be negotiated with the supplier.

III. Factors Affecting Prices

  1. Materials: Rock wool sandwich panels are approximately 30% more expensive than color steel plates but offer superior fire resistance and thermal insulation; EPS core materials are lower in cost but have slightly weaker performance.
  2. Specifications: For areas less than 100 square meters, the unit price increases by about 10%; for areas greater than 500 square meters, the unit price decreases by 10%-15%. Two-story structures are 15%-25% more expensive than single-story ones.
  3. Configurations: Container houses equipped with air conditioning, independent bathrooms, and other facilities are priced higher.
  4. Location and Transportation: Local suppliers in Yongzhou can save on freight costs, while remote areas may see an increase in unit prices due to higher labor and transportation costs.

IV. Purchase Recommendations

  1. Clearly define your needs (short-term use or long-term residence, office or storage) to choose an appropriate budget and material.
  2. When inquiring about prices, ask for the total price (including transportation, installation, taxes, etc.) to avoid additional costs later.
  3. Prioritize choosing local qualified suppliers for easier maintenance and cost savings in the long run.
