Zhejiang Shaoxing Container House

Admin September 15, 2026

Container houses in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, are characterized by modular design, high-strength steel structures, and flexible application scenarios, widely used in temporary buildings, epidemic prevention and resettlement, construction site dormitories, and commercial spaces.

1. Core Technologies and Structural Features

Container houses in Shaoxing generally adopt high-strength steel structural frames, with main beams made of hot-dip galvanized square tubes (e.g., 100×150mm) and column thickness up to 3.75mm, ensuring load-bearing and wind resistance capabilities. The box connection structure is optimized to withstand preset wind pressures and snow loads, adapting to different climatic conditions. The exterior walls mostly use Class A fire-resistant glass wool sandwich panels, 75mm thick with a bulk density of 45kg/m³, providing both fire resistance and thermal insulation. The roof is made of 0.8mm profiled steel sheets with glass wool insulation layers, and the base floor uses 18mm thick cement fiber boards, ensuring overall structural stability and durability.

2. Functional Configurations and Customized Services

The interior configurations of container houses are flexible and can be customized with beds, office desks and chairs, bathroom facilities, etc., enabling a "move-in ready" experience. For example, Zhejiang Hangxing Green Building Materials Technology Co., Ltd. offers three types of products: standard boxes, quick-assembly boxes, and folding boxes, meeting the needs of fixed camps and frequent relocation scenarios. The interior decoration uses eco-friendly materials such as bamboo-wood fiber integrated wall panels and wood-grain stone plastic flooring, equipped with basic infrastructure like strong current switches, sockets, and downlights. Some projects also enhance fire resistance, sound insulation, and thermal insulation performance, optimizing ventilation and lighting systems to improve living comfort.

3. Typical Application Scenarios

  1. Epidemic Prevention and Emergency Resettlement: During the 2021 epidemic in Shangyu, Shaoxing, Fangyuan Construction Group led the collection of 400 container houses for centralized isolation of severe cases, completing assembly and transportation within 48 hours, demonstrating rapid response capabilities.
  2. Temporary Construction Site Facilities: The container house solutions provided by Zhejiang Hangxing for construction sites shorten construction periods through modular design, addressing the issues of long construction times and low reuse rates associated with traditional temporary buildings.
  3. Commercial and Public Services: Container houses have been transformed into urban public service facilities such as newsstands, volunteer service halls, and dispatch stations, as well as commercial spaces like museums and hotels, with examples including the Chilean Modular Hotel and the Uruguayan Steel Structure Museum.

4. Market and Industrial Foundation

Local enterprises in Shaoxing, such as Zhejiang Putian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd., produce up to 500,000 square meters annually, with products exported to over 120 countries and regions. Their container houses have been verified for quality through overseas events such as the Qatar World Cup and the Dakar Youth Olympic Games. Additionally, quotation results for container house projects on the架空层 (overhead layer) of Shaoxing campuses show that local suppliers offer prices ranging from 68,800 to 98,000 yuan, reflecting the market pricing mechanism.
