Taiwan Container House Customization
Container house customization services are available in Taiwan, and there are successful customization cases for reference. The following is an introduction from three aspects: customization cases, customization processes and key points, and suggestions for selecting customization manufacturers.
The Zhuo･House in Longtan Township, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, is a successful case of local container house customization. Designed for a family of four, the house has an indoor area of 82.5 square meters and an outdoor area of 33 square meters, with a construction cost of approximately RMB 650,000. The design team broke away from traditional frameworks and divided the 40 + 20-foot container house into public and private spaces. At the entrance, there is an island counter connected to a large wooden table, and behind it is an open area for family gatherings. At the same time, it takes into account both lighting and safety. The outer layer is treated with acid- and alkali-resistant and anti-rust coatings. Large floor-to-ceiling windows with thicker materials are used to introduce natural light, and sufficient waterproofing details are made at the window cutouts. Glass folding doors are used at the connections between container houses to bring in scenery and light.
The customization of container houses generally goes through processes such as demand communication, design planning, production and manufacturing, and on-site assembly. In the demand communication stage, it is necessary to clarify the number of residents, functional requirements, budget, etc. During design planning, factors such as spatial layout, lighting and ventilation, and safety protection need to be considered. For example, the female owner of Zhuo･House discussed and determined the internal layout with the designer according to her own ideas. In the production and manufacturing stage, the manufacturer will carry out steel structure frame welding, wall and roof panel prefabrication, and pre-embedding of internal water and electricity pipelines. During on-site assembly, the components are transported to the site for rapid assembly, which can effectively shorten the construction period.
When selecting a customization manufacturer, attention should be paid to its production capacity, service scope, and qualification certifications. Reference can be made to whether the manufacturer's steel structure processing technology is mature, whether the fire rating of the wall panels meets the standards, and whether it supports customization of irregular sizes or special functions. For example, find out whether it uses standardized production lines for mass manufacturing, whether it can ensure the accuracy of components, whether it has multiple reuse capabilities, whether it can meet cross-border export qualifications, and whether it has low-carbon attributes. For some leading manufacturers, the proportion of products with multiple reuse capabilities and other characteristics in their orders has exceeded 60%, gradually becoming the mainstream procurement direction in the industry.
