Folding container house VS prefabricated house, which one do construction site workers prefer to live in?
2024-01-24
With the advancement of urbanization, container houses such as folding box houses and prefab houses are widely used in the construction of office buildings, construction sites, exhibition halls and other places. Compared with foldable container houses and prefabricated houses, which one do workers prefer to live in?

Living more comfortably. The folding box room is soundproofed and fireproof, with spacious interior space and an integrated electrical system. It can accommodate five bunk beds. After installing air conditioning, it will be more comfortable to live in. Prefabricated houses have slightly worse fire protection and sound insulation. They are fixed and formed after installation, and the number of rooms cannot be temporarily increased or decreased.
Profiles are more durable. The folding box adopts a patented profile at the folding point, with a high inside and low outside design. It is welded firmly and is not easily deformed after repeated folding. It is wind and earthquake resistant and can be recycled. The prefabricated house adopts a mosaic structure, and the foundation is unstable. It is easy to collapse and fall apart when encountering typhoons and earthquakes.
Folding box room configuration is higher
Transportation costs less. Tengfei Folding Container House uses a 17-meter-5-meter truck that can transport about 20 boxes, and an ordinary self-crane can also transport 6 boxes. In intra-city transportation or long-distance engineering projects, it can save users about 50% of freight costs. The material loss is small when disassembled and assembled again and can be recycled. For prefabricated houses, the materials are packaged and then installed on site. The transportation cost is higher, and the material loss is large every time it is disassembled and assembled. It is basically scrapped after 4-5 times.
The folding box room feels better after installing air conditioning
Installation is faster. A foldable container house can be installed in 20 minutes, and 3 people/day can complete the installation of a temporary house of 600 square meters, with basically no foundation requirements. Prefab houses require a concrete foundation, building the main body, and then installing walls, ceilings, etc., which takes longer.
Save space for storage. In the folded state, the height of the folding box room is only 45 cm, and about 12 can be stacked in the same space. The storage of prefabricated houses not only takes a long time to disassemble and assemble, but also requires more storage space.
