Container Family is a leading China modular building manufacturer. Modular buildings, also known as prefabricated or prefab buildings, are structures constructed off-site in a controlled factory environment. These buildings are comprised of individual sections or modules that are fabricated and assembled using advanced manufacturing techniques. Typically, modular buildings are designed to meet the same building codes and standards as traditional site-built structures.
Modular buildings are constructed using a variety of materials, including steel, wood, and concrete, depending on the specific requirements of the project. Steel frames are commonly used for their strength, durability, and flexibility in design. The exterior cladding can vary and may include materials such as metal, wood, or composite panels, offering both aesthetic appeal and weather resistance.
Modular buildings are buildings that are constructed from standardized “modules” or “units” that bear identical design cues and specifications. Modular buildings can be prefabricated — this means that individual building units are manufactured off-site before being transported to the site for assembly.
Portable cabins are a smaller subset of modular buildings. These prefab structures are self-contained and assembled offsite, ready for immediate use once transported to their final location.
In a way, shipping container architecture can be considered a form of modular building. This is because multiple containers can be configured to form a building structure.
A key difference lies in the fact that while prefab modular building units are often solely created for modular construction, shipping container modules are repurposed from recycled freight containers.
In terms of applications, container modular buildings are utilized in diverse sectors. They serve as temporary structures in construction sites, offering living and office space. They are also ideal for remote industrial sites like mines and oil fields due to their portability and ease of installation. Furthermore, they find use in commercial ventures, including mobile cafes and sales points, as well as in emergency shelters and educational facilities. Their adaptability and cost-effectiveness make them a preferred choice across various domains.
A modular building is a type of construction composed of prefabricated components that are manufactured off-site and shipped to a desired location to be installed on-site. A modular building can be used for all types of applications (sanitary, housing, shelters...).
Modular buildings are like "Legos". You can connect them and create space as large as you want.
Our modular building is designed, engineered and manufactured to be used for both permanent and temporary use.
Yes, our modular buildings are stackable and can be use to create a multi-story building.
