Modular prefabricated containers: kHOME offer weather-resistant solutions for Guyana

K-HOME is a Chinese container house manufacturer: reliable, customized, cost-effective

Prefabricated container houses are temporary structures that provide living, office, kitchen, dining, and storage functions. Due to their low cost, quick construction, and easy transportation, container houses have been widely used in Guyana.

Climate and Weather Survey in Guyana

Guyana, a country in South America, has a tropical rainforest climate characterized by high humidity and rainfall, resulting in abundant annual precipitation.

As a result, raised houses are commonly used by locals. Raised houses are well-suited to the local tropical rainforest climate, particularly its hot, humid, and rainy characteristics. By raising the ground, stilt houses effectively prevent ground moisture from invading, keeping the interior dry. Furthermore, the elevated design helps prevent flooding and insect and snake infestations.

Prefabricated House Design for Guyana

Using prefabricated containers to construct temporary housing, such as offices, dormitories, or integrated camps, in Guyana requires a design tailored to the region’s environmental characteristics. Taking these factors into account, some material adjustments can be made to improve corrosion resistance:

  • Steel frame: Entirely hot-dip galvanized and then sprayed with anti-corrosion paint.
  • Floor: Use waterproof cement board;
  • Wall: Add decorative panels to the sandwich panels;
  • Roof: Use a double-slope secondary roof, which provides both insulation and improved drainage.
  • Upgraded Anti-Rust Sealing solutions: The corner joints have been optimized with a concealed design, minimizing exposure to air and moisture, and reducing the risk of rust at the source.
  • High-performance sealant and structural adhesive are provided to fully ensure the airtightness and waterproofing of the house.

case study – Prefabricated Container Project in Guyana

This Prefabricated Container Guyana project, officially completed in 2021 for university students, features our modular housing products in the accommodation, kitchen, and laundry areas, with a total of 16 standard containers, and secondary roofing.

Taking the site climate into consideration, the steel frame is entirely hot-dip galvanized and then spray-coated.
The floor is constructed of fire-resistant cement board, and PVC cladding is added to the walls.
The roof features a double-slope secondary roof, which provides both insulation and improved drainage.

Prefabricated Container Cost

The cost of a prefabricated container in Guyana varies significantly based on factors such as size, design, customization, and quantity. On average, affordable prefabricated container houses start at approximately USD95.00 for a basic container unit. These units are perfect for those camping for a simple living space. Prices vary for more spacious and customized container homes. This range still offers a more affordable alternative compared to traditional housing in Guyana’s competitive real estate market.

Factors Affecting Prefabricated Container Prices

  • Size and Layout: The size and layout of a container house are significant factors influencing the price. Customized layouts and interior finishes can also increase costs.
  • Material and Finishing: The quality of the container house’s steel frame and interior finishes also impacts the price. High-quality materials and finishes typically increase costs but also provide better durability and comfort.
  • Shipping Costs and Taxes: Consider ocean shipping costs, customs clearance fees, taxes, and inland freight charges.
    For countries within the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, Form E can be provided to help customers reduce some taxes.
  • Installation: This requires the client to plan installation costs in advance in their proposal, but compared to traditional brick-concrete buildings, container homes have significantly lower installation costs.
  • Additional Facilities and Equipment: If the client requires additional equipment, such as solar panels, air conditioning systems, bathrooms, kitchens, etc., the overall cost will increase.

Prefabricated Container Guyana Regulations: What You Need to Know

Before building a container home in Guyana, it’s crucial to understand the regulations and requirements set by local authorities. Navigating these rules effectively will not only streamline your project but also ensure long-term compliance.

The first step in building a container home in Guyana involves understanding the zoning laws. You must confirm whether the designated area permits modular container house plans or other non-traditional housing types. This step often requires liaising with local councils and obtaining explicit approvals.

Additionally, adhering to Guyana’s strict building codes is essential. Container homes must meet structural safety standards and environmental guidelines. Partnering with experienced container home builders like Khome ensures your project meets these stringent requirements without compromising on design or functionality.

Consider long-term maintenance requirements. Guyana’s tropical climate can pose challenges such as humidity and corrosion. High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, hallmarks of Khome’s modular homes, can help mitigate these issues, ensuring durability and comfort for years to come.
