Living Containers And Prefabricated Buildings

The so-called prefabricated building means that the main structural components of the building do not need to be made on-site. Instead, they are made in advance in the prefabrication field or processing plant and then transported to the site for lifting, installation, connection, etc. In short, it is a building assembled from prefabricated components on the construction site. At present, the main types in China include prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, light steel structures, and residential containers.

Living containers are one of the important forms of prefabricated buildings, and can also be called box buildings. As an important part of prefabricated houses, living containers not only have the advantages of prefabricated houses but also have unique characteristics and advantages. Compared with prefabricated reinforced concrete structures and light steel structures, residential containers are environmentally friendly. They can be built by recycling second-hand containers, and the reuse rate is higher than the above two prefabricated buildings. In terms of the construction period, residential containers can be built and decorated on-site, or they can be directly transported to the site for construction after the internal decoration is completed in the factory. The integration of function and structural design is the most time-saving and labor-saving among the three types. Its unique advantage is that it can be moved in a whole box, and it can be moved without changing the house.
Today, when "green buildings" are vigorously promoted, residential containers, as representative prefabricated buildings, are not only strongly supported by policies but also in line with my country's national conditions as a big steel country. Residential containers have various forms and contain fashionable elements, and are being increasingly used. The more people pay attention to it, the more widely it is used in B&Bs, hotels, residences, offices, etc.
