Container Mobile House for Self-Built House

Container mobile houses can be used for self-built houses, and there are successful cases of building luxurious container villas. The following introduces them from two aspects: construction process and price.

Construction Process

• Structural Modification: The construction team will segment and cut the containers, adjusting their shapes and sizes according to design requirements to fit different architectural layouts. At the same time, aluminum alloy windows and glass doors are installed to increase the house's natural lighting and ventilation, enhancing living comfort.
• Internal Structure Construction: First, light steel keels are fixed. As the supporting framework for the internal structure, light steel keels ensure the stability and sturdiness of the house. Then, indoor plumbing and electrical concealed works are installed, with switch and socket positions reasonably reserved to meet daily electricity needs. Exhaust pipes are extended to the outside to ensure the circulation and freshness of indoor air.
• Roof Construction: Foam boards are used as the base layer for thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer between the indoors and outdoors. Then, oriented strand boards are used for covering to increase the flatness and strength of the roof. Finally, torch-applied rolled roofing is used for waterproofing, effectively preventing rainwater leakage and protecting the internal structure of the house.
• Wall Construction: The inner sides of the keels are filled, and high-density decorative paper is used for facing to make the walls flatter and more aesthetically pleasing. The outer layer is covered with gypsum boards to further enhance the stability and sound insulation of the walls. After completing indoor putty and latex paint work, the walls present a smooth and clean appearance. Outdoors, special boards are used to wrap the outer framework, improving the overall aesthetics and durability of the house. Steel frame structures are built near the windows to create leisure areas, increasing the functionality and usable space of the house.
