A prefabricated folding container house is a fully built, modular housing unit designed to fold flat for easy transport and quick setup on site. Unlike standard prefabricated homes that require large transport vehicles and extensive assembly, this innovative type of container home can be shipped in compact form and expanded on arrival to create a ready-to-use living or working space.
