Buying a House is Expensive, What to Do? Container Houses Are the Best Choice

In today's Chinese society, people believe that buying a house is essential, considering it a lifelong goal. Without a house, life is perceived as incomplete and unhappy. Most ordinary people may spend their entire lives striving to buy a house, which is now incredibly expensive due to the current real estate market. Some might spend half their lives dealing with the immense pressure of home buying. However, there is now an excellent alternative: container houses. These houses are of outstanding quality, aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly, highly cost-effective.

Container houses can be considered an upgraded version of traditional mobile homes. So, how exactly do they differ from mobile homes? Let's discuss the differences between container houses and mobile homes from several aspects.

1. Composition

Container houses incorporate modern home elements, using individual containers as units that can be combined and stacked. They excel in sealing, soundproofing, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and insulation. In contrast, mobile homes use steel and panels as raw materials for on-site assembly, which performs poorly in sealing, soundproofing, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and insulation. Additionally, you can only assess the effectiveness of mobile homes after they are fully assembled, making it difficult to compare and choose.

2. Layout

Container houses have an integrated layout with welded and fixed structures, making them sturdier, safer, more wind-resistant, and earthquake-resistant. They will not collapse or break apart during disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, or landslides. Mobile homes have an embedded layout with lower resistance. They are prone to collapse and break apart if the foundation is unstable or in the event of a typhoon or earthquake, making them unsafe.

3. Decoration

Container houses feature tiled floors and one-time decoration for walls, ceilings, plumbing, electrical systems, doors, windows, and exhaust fans, making them permanent, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and beautiful. On the other hand, mobile homes require on-site installation of walls, ceilings, pipes, electrical circuits, lighting, and windows, leading to longer construction periods, higher waste, and less aesthetic appeal.

4. Installation

Container houses can be installed as whole units without the need for a concrete foundation. Installation takes 15 minutes, and they are ready to be occupied within an hour after connecting to a power source. In contrast, mobile homes require a concrete foundation, assembly of the main structure, wall installation, ceiling installation, and the installation of plumbing and electrical systems, which takes a long time.

5. Usage

Container houses are more user-friendly and facilitate smoother living and working experiences. The number of rooms can be increased or decreased at any time, providing flexibility. Mobile homes have poor soundproofing and fire resistance, offer average comfort for living and working, and are fixed after installation, making it difficult to add or remove rooms temporarily.

6. Relocation

Container houses can be relocated without disassembly, and items inside can be moved along with the container without any damage. They can be lifted and relocated over a thousand times, making them convenient and cost-effective. In contrast, mobile homes need to be disassembled for relocation, and items need to be carefully packed. Each disassembly and reassembly causes significant material waste, high costs, and is time-consuming. Mobile homes typically become unusable after four or five relocations.

Container houses represent a new type of housing that meets people's needs for both living space and diverse, flexible housing options. Their advantages lie mainly in two aspects. Firstly, their undeniable cost advantage, as they are inexpensive to build and install, making them affordable for most people. Secondly, their remarkable mobility and flexibility, allowing changes to the installation method, structure, and environment according to personal needs.
