Prefab Container House
leading container house manufacturer in china
We offer prefab container solutions to meet diverse needs: customizable, cost-effective, Quick assembly
What is a Prefab Container House？
Unlike shipping containers, prefab container houses are formed through structural modifications and interior finishing and are a type of mobile, modular, prefabricated building.
A factory prefabricates all components and then transports them to the construction site for rapid assembly. This efficient method shortens the build period and reduces on-site work and its impact on the external environment.
Prefab containers can meet a variety of uses, including office space, accommodation facilities, emergency facilities, and sanitation facilities. With their durability, mobility, and cost-effectiveness, prefabricated container houses provide users with a quick-to-assemble temporary space solution.

How to choose a right prefab container house for your project?
Prefabricated Container House Unit Prices
The table provides the reference ex-works price for a single standard container. Since the FOB reference price consists of the ex-works price, inland freight, and port charges, and the latter two are dynamic costs, the FOB price is subject to change accordingly. It should be noted that the FOB reference prices in the table are based on the cost standards for October 2026.
The standard container unit consists solely of the steel frame, wall panels, flooring system, roofing system, electrical system, doors, and windows; it does not include any interior finishes, furniture, or similar items.
| Container House System | Standard Size (L*W*H) | Indicative EXW price | Indicative FOB price | MOQ | Units/40HQ | Installation |
| Detachable container house | 5950*3000*2800mm (20ft) | $ 1400-2300 / unit | $ 1530-2430 / unit | 1 unit | 11 units/40HQ | 4 person / 8-10hrs / 1 unit |
| Flat pack container house | 5900*2438*2896mm (20ft) | $ 1500-2200 / unit | $ 1680-2380 / unit | 4-8 units | 8 units/40HQ | 4 person / 4-5hrs / 1 unit |
| Folding container house | 5800*2500*2560mm (20ft) | $ 1200-2000 / unit | $ 1350-2150 / unit | 5-10 units | 10 units/40HQ | 4 person / 15min /1 unit |

Prefabricated Container House Unit Prices and Total Project Cost
A single standard unit price ≠ The total project cost
The total project cost include:
When evaluating a prefabricated container housing project, the price of a single standard unit is merely a starting point and does not equate to the total project cost. The final budget depends on the number of units required, the configuration plan, and the degree of customization needed for the specific application.
Adjustments to the structural system, insulation, wall panels, doors and windows, electrical systems, plumbing, bathroom fixtures, furniture, climate adaptation requirements, and finishing techniques will all affect the factory price.
Transportation is another major cost component. Ocean freight costs depend on the destination port, shipping schedule, product type, packaging method, and the number of units that can be loaded into each container. Upon arrival of the goods, the buyer must also set aside funds for customs clearance, inland transportation, unloading, crane operations, installation labor, tools, foundation construction, utility connections, and on-site equipment setup.
For camps and other projects involving multiple units, public amenities such as kitchens, dining halls, restrooms, offices, and laundry facilities must also be considered.
Therefore, a reliable quotation should clearly distinguish the unit price from transportation and on-site costs, enabling the buyer to clearly understand the total project budget, including delivery and installation. This breakdown of costs facilitates more accurate comparisons among different suppliers and helps prevent the omission of important expenses during the procurement and planning processes.

Prefab Container Houses for Worker Accommodation and Support Facilities
Prefab Container Houses for Worker Accommodation camp
A complete labor camp normally combines accommodation rooms with site offices, kitchens, dining halls, toilets, showers, laundries, clinics, security rooms, storage areas, and other supporting facilities. These functional modules can be planned within the same modular container building system, helping project owners simplify design, procurement, transportation, installation, and future expansion.
The camp configuration depends on the workforce size, room occupancy, project duration, local climate, available site area, and required welfare facilities.
K-HOME can help buyers select suitable container house systems, prepare preliminary layouts, calculate the required unit mix, and coordinate accommodation and supporting buildings as one integrated project solution.

Configuration options to meet diverse climate adaptation needs
01. Hot Climates
Insulation, roof heat gain, ventilation and cooling should be considered together. Wall and roof insulation can be selected according to project requirements, while natural or mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning provisions can be incorporated into the design. Additional roof shading or a secondary roof can also be evaluated where required.
02. Cold and Snowy Climates
Cold-climate projects require greater attention to the overall thermal performance of the building envelope. Insulation material and thickness, roof and floor construction, doors and windows, and heating provisions should be coordinated according to the project conditions and required indoor environment.
03. High Wind & Heavy Rainfall
For sites exposed to high winds, the structural system, connections, anchoring and foundation interface should be evaluated against the project-specific design requirements. In areas with frequent or heavy rainfall, roof drainage, waterproofing details and water discharge paths should be considered as part of the building and site design.
04. Coastal Environments
Coastal environments require additional attention to material selection and corrosion protection. Exposed steel components, connections and external finishes should be selected and protected according to the site’s exposure conditions and project specifications.
Shipping and On-Site Assembly
K-HOME’s prefabricated container buildings are not necessarily shipped as fully assembled units. The specific level of factory prefabrication, packaging method, and on-site assembly process depend on the chosen container building system.
Factory Preparation
- The manufacturing and preparation of structural components are carried out according to the selected container system.
- Electrical and plumbing components are prefabricated or prepared according to the level of factory assembly required for each system.
- Other ancillary components are procured as stipulated in the contract and delivered to the K-HOME factory for packaging alongside the container units.
- Components are checked before packing to confirm the required quantities and specifications for shipment.
Packing & International Shipping
The packing method depends on the selected container building system and project configuration.
