Housing Container Sales Price

Admin 15 de septiembre de 2026

The sales price of housing containers varies widely, ranging from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan, depending on factors such as type, size, configuration, and condition (new or used). Here is a detailed classification:

1. Basic New Container Houses
Taking a standard size (e.g., 3m × 6m, approximately 18 square meters) as an example, prices typically range from tens of thousands of yuan. For instance, a mobile modular space capsule cabin (aluminum Chinese-style new bedroom apartment) is priced at ¥3,295.46-4,692.52 (with a unit price of approximately ¥183-260 per square meter after area conversion). However, such products may have simplified configurations or be small-area units. A 20-foot expandable prefabricated container house (including steel structure and bedroom functions) can cost ¥30,536.87-31,879.15 (priced per complete set). For high-end customized models, such as a luxury 40-foot prefabricated container house (with multiple bedrooms and a kitchen), prices may exceed ¥300,000.

2. Used Container Houses
Prices are significantly lower than those of new products, usually below ¥10,000, with some simple models priced at around ¥5,000. For example, a 40-foot/20-foot used prefabricated container house (flat-pack folding type) is priced at ¥4,576.06-4,703.93. An insulated used expandable container house (with a bathroom) costs approximately ¥30,215.46-37,550.61, but such products are mostly repurposed after modification.

3. Special Function or Customized Container Houses

  • Expandable/Modular Design: A 20-foot mobile detachable container house (for luxury living and industrial use) is priced at ¥3,008.03-4,672.47. A foldable steel container house (with a 2-bedroom modern design) can cost ¥37,433.20-40,026.79.
  • High-End Materials and Configurations: Container houses with steel sandwich panels, solar systems, or smart devices are priced higher. For example, a luxury 40-foot prefabricated container house in the European market is priced at ¥30,373.98-31,709.10.
  • Minimalist and Economical Models: Some basic models (with only a frame and simple partitions) can be as low as ¥2,947.87-3,910.44, but their applicable scenarios are limited.

4. Bulk Purchase Discounts
Some suppliers offer discounts for large orders. For example, a company in Suzhou offers a price of ¥5,340.92-8,683.17 per set for orders of more than 10 modular houses, which is lower than the price for single-set purchases.

Purchase Recommendations:

  • Clearly define the purpose (residential, office, or commercial) and budget range.
  • Prioritize verifying the supplier's qualifications and product compliance (e.g., fire and wind resistance standards).
  • Compare the impact of condition (new or used) on prices, and for used products, focus on checking structural safety.
