Prefabricated container houses: innovative forces in the field of construction
In recent years, prefabricated container houses, as an innovative form of construction, have attracted much attention in the global construction field. It is based on the transformation of containers and provides efficient, environmentally friendly and economical solutions for various construction needs. ​
Prefabricated container houses are easy to build, just like "building blocks". The world's first recyclable hotel built in London, UK, has guest rooms made of high-strength containers. The interior decoration has been preliminarily completed when it was imported. It only needs to stack and fix the containers on site, and install simple doors and windows and decorate the facades to quickly build it, which shortens the construction period by about 25% compared with traditional buildings. ​
In terms of environmental protection and sustainability, prefabricated container houses have significant advantages. It realizes the recycling of resources, and cost-effectiveness is also a highlight of prefabricated container houses. In Saudi Arabia, using the modular container transformation solution, customers can own a fully furnished customizable house within two months for only US$2,500, which is about 60% lower than the cost of local conventional houses. In China, this type of house is also more economical than brick and tile buildings, especially suitable for temporary accommodation points, scenic area supporting buildings and other cost-sensitive projects. ​
Prefabricated container houses are widely used. Similar solutions in the tourism and vacation field, urban commerce, public service field, etc.

Today, with the rising global demand for sustainable buildings, prefabricated container houses have broad prospects. European and American countries favor their fast installation characteristics due to high labor costs; extreme climate regions such as the Middle East and Russia also have strong demand for them due to their excellent thermal insulation performance. With the advantages of convenient construction, environmental protection, and low cost, prefabricated container houses are reshaping the construction industry and will contribute more to the sustainable development of global buildings in the future.
