The sizes of container houses vary depending on their types and purposes, with common sizes ranging from 9 square meters to 21 square meters, and they can also be customized to larger or smaller sizes as needed.

I. Common Standard Sizes
- Small Container Houses: These are 3 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.8 meters high, with an area of approximately 9 square meters. This size is relatively small and is typically used for construction site guardrooms, small warehouses for storing items, etc. For living purposes, it can accommodate about 2 people.
- Standard Container Houses: These are 6 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.8 meters high, with an area of approximately 18 square meters. This is a common standard size on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other fields. They can serve as workers' dormitories, accommodating about 10 people, or be transformed into toilets, kitchens, etc. on construction sites.
- Slightly Larger Container Houses: These are 7 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.8 meters high, with an area of approximately 21 square meters. Most of them are used as two-story container mobile homes, featuring corridors and balconies, with indoor space consistent with that of 6-meter-long container houses.
II. Special and Customized Sizes
- Shipping Container Sizes: Common sizes include 5.69 meters × 2.13 meters, 11.8 meters × 2.13 meters, and 13.58 meters × 2.34 meters. These shipping containers can also be used for architectural renovations.
- Customized Container Houses: These can be made in various sizes according to customer needs, such as 3 meters × 8 meters, 3 meters × 9 meters, and 3 meters × 12 meters. During customization, the length, width, and height can be flexibly adjusted. The width can be selected from options like 2.5 meters, 2.55 meters, 3 meters, and 4 meters, while the height can be selected from options like 2.6 meters, 2.7 meters, 2.8 meters, and 2.9 meters. Special door and window positions, partitions, exteriors, and interior decorations can all be customized as needed. For example, the container-style temporary housing at the Nagoya Asian Games had each unit covering an area of 35 square meters; there was also a four-story giant building assembled from 16 construction-specific containers, with each container being approximately 12 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 3 meters high.
