  • Employ modular construction techniques to reduce on-site waste production by up to 60%

FAQ

A Folding Container House is a prefabricated modular building that can be folded flat during transportation and quickly expanded on-site. Its unique foldable design reduces shipping volume by up to 75%, making it cost-efficient for international logistics. Once unfolded, it functions as a fully equipped housing or office solution.

Installation of a Folding Container House takes only a few hours with a small team. Unlike traditional buildings that require weeks of construction, these units can be deployed immediately for worker housing, offices, or disaster relief shelters.

Yes. Each Folding Container House is built with galvanized steel frames and fire-resistant insulated panels. They are waterproof, wind-resistant, and compliant with ISO and CE international standards, ensuring durability and a lifespan of 15+ years.

A Folding Container House is ideal for temporary worker camps, mobile offices, disaster relief housing, retail pop-up shops, tourist accommodations, and more. Its versatility makes it suitable for construction companies, NGOs, wholesalers, and government projects.

Absolutely. Folding Container Houses can be tailored with custom layouts, doors, windows, insulation levels, interior finishes, and colors. This makes them flexible for both residential and commercial applications.
