New Line Container House Self-Assembly
Self-assembly of New Line container houses is feasible and offers advantages such as reasonable cost, short construction period, and environmental friendliness. The following provides a detailed introduction from the aspects of construction process, design considerations, and practical cases:
Construction Process: First, lay a reinforced concrete foundation to provide stable support for the subsequent lifting of container components. The components are all prefabricated in the factory according to the drawings and are directly lifted during construction, which can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce on-site cutting, and avoid cost increases. After combining and positioning multiple containers, fill them with soundproof materials and reinforce them to ensure the sound insulation and structural stability of the house. After the first floor is installed and fixed, carry out thermal insulation and waterproofing work on the second floor, and then lift the second-floor containers. After the main structure is completed, carry out interior and exterior decoration and water and electricity wiring.
Design Considerations: Measure the available area of the homestead, the distance from neighbors, and the existing house plan dimensions on your own. Consult local authorities to understand information such as the allowable building height along the street and the location of road control red lines, while also clarifying the current locations of water and power supplies. List the names of rooms according to your own needs, such as adding bedrooms, customer reception spaces, warehouses, etc., as well as personal expectations for expansion and other requirements. Consider the total cost and construction period to determine whether it is urgent, so as to reasonably arrange the construction schedule.
Practical Cases: There is a case where six containers were used to build a modular house with a reasonable layout and well-arranged spaces. The base price was 180,000 yuan, and the modification, transportation, and installation costs were 38,000 yuan, totaling 218,000 yuan. Another case used two containers to拼接 (here translated as 'combine') into a 100-square-meter single-story luxury house. With reasonable architectural design and decoration, using thermal insulation materials suitable for local conditions, and installing solar photovoltaic power generation systems, rainwater collection systems, septic tank systems, etc., comfortable living conditions were achieved.
