Price per Square Meter of Housing Containers

Housing containers are generally not priced directly per square meter; they are typically sold by the 'unit' or 'room'. Only large-scale projects may calculate prices per square meter, with a wide price range significantly influenced by factors such as material, size, and condition.

Price Range for Conventional Sales by 'Unit' or 'Room'

• Small Containers: Covering an area of approximately 9 square meters, prices range from 3,500 to 8,000 yuan, depending on the condition (new or used) and materials used. For example, a container measuring 3 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height typically costs around 7,500 yuan for a new one; used ones are cheaper, but the specific condition affects the final price.
• Standard-sized Containers: Covering an area of about 18 square meters, prices range from 4,500 to 11,000 yuan. A container measuring 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height typically costs around 11,000 yuan for a new one; used ones are cheaper and are influenced by specific quality.
• Slightly Larger Containers: Covering an area of about 21 square meters, prices range from 5,500 to 12,600 yuan. For instance, a container measuring 7 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, generally used as a two-story house with an independent corridor and canopy, costs around 12,600 yuan for a new one; prices for used ones vary depending on the specific condition.
• Customized Containers: Covering an area of more than 9 square meters, prices start from 4,000 yuan, depending on the condition (new or used), materials used, size, style, and other factors.

Price Range for Large-scale Projects Calculated per Square Meter

• General Cases: For constructing a large-scale container villa, the calculated price per square meter generally does not exceed 1,000 yuan.
• High-end Material Cases: If high-end materials are used, prices will be higher. The market price for ordinary used containers ranges from 12,000 to 30,000 yuan, translating to approximately 800 - 1,500 yuan per square meter. If internal decoration and functional configurations are added, the overall cost may rise to 2,000 - 4,000 yuan per square meter.
• Packing-box Unit Cases: Packing-box units are relatively expensive, generally ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yuan per square meter, with customized models being even more expensive.
