The cost of container houses in Zigong varies significantly due to factors such as size, material, and customization requirements. The purchase price ranges from 3,000 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, while the rental price is typically between 3 yuan and over 10 yuan per day.

I. Purchase Price
Basic Models:
- For a 3m x 3m container house, the price ranges from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan.
- For a standard 6m x 3m container house, the price ranges from 4,500 yuan to 11,000 yuan. If fireproof and thermal insulation materials such as rock wool boards are used, the price may increase to between 11,000 yuan and 12,600 yuan.
- For a 7m x 3m container house, the price ranges from 5,000 yuan to 12,000 yuan.
Customized Models:
- The price of customized container houses varies significantly depending on size, material, and configuration. For example, a customized residential container mobile house in Yuhang, Hangzhou, which includes basic wall insulation and double-glazed windows, costs 5,800 yuan.
- High-end customized container houses, which use better materials and interior decoration, may cost even more, reaching tens of thousands of yuan.
II. Rental Price

III. Factors Affecting Price

- Size: Larger areas may have a lower unit price; small, scattered constructions will have a much higher unit price.
- Configuration: Features such as double-glazed windows, non-slip floors, and LED lighting increase costs.
- Region: Prices in first-tier cities may be 10% to 30% higher than those in second- and third-tier cities; in remote areas, labor and transportation costs increase, leading to higher unit prices.
