Sourcing Materials for a Container House
You have two options for your container house – either find a trusted builder who can customize a shipping container or who can supply new shipping containers or you can buy prefab container homes from a reliable supplier.
But before you can do that, you need to come up with a design so they can provide a quote accordingly.
What are the Design Considerations for Prefab Container Homes?
Designing a prefab container house interior is similar to designing a traditional house. You need to consider your lifestyle, your lot shape, and your budget. Here are some of the things to consider when designing your prefab container home.
1. Standard Finish vs Luxury Container House Finish
A standard, factory-built container house such as a Detachable Container House or Flatpack Container House is usually built and finished with the basic elements of a house. This includes the sturdy floorboard with basic finishing, prepainted walls, 2 standard-sized windows, and a door.
So, if you’re looking for an economic housing or office solution, this is might be the best choice for you. However, if you’re after a luxurious prefab container house – one that has a more elaborate finish – then you would need to communicate what you want with your supplier.
2. Liveable Elements
You need to consider where to situate liveable elements like your bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom.
How would you plan to arrange them according to your lifestyle?
3. Lot Shape
4. Window Areas/Number of Windows
A prefab container house usually comes with 2 sets of windows for a standard package.
Adding more windows or more window areas in your container home design would add up to its cost.
If you’re working from home or want to spend less on your electric bill, natural lighting is actually a great thing to add to your container home design.
Hence, adding more windows may actually pay off in the long run. Plus, windows make your property more appealing and stylish.
Price Considerations
Standard (Basic) Unit
The most common standard 20ft prefab container houses in the Philippines costs around 190,000 PHP to 220,000PHP in 2023. The price variation may be caused by the materials used, quality, thickness of the columns and flooring options.
Wall Panel Options & Price Variations
Wall Panel Insulation Types | Wall Thickness | Steel Plate Thickness | Characteristics |
EPS Foam Sandwich Panel | 50mm/75mm/100mm | 0.326mm/0.426mm | The cheapest type of insulation with the shortest lifespan; perfect for temporary facilities |
Rockwool Sandwich Panel | 50mm/75mm/100mm | 0.326mm/0.426mm | Mid-range in terms of price and quality; fireproof as compared to EPS; great for housing material |
PU Sandwich Panel | 50mm/75mm/100mm | 0.326mm/0.426mm | High-end choice, usually used in prefab warehouse material; more beautiful & durable |
Which Wall Insulation to Choose?
EPS is the most common type of wall panel insulation being sold by Philippine container house suppliers. After all, it is the cheapest, most lightweight, and most durable enough to withstand the forces of nature.
EPS wall panels are also being used as insulation materials for Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings, Metal Roofing, siding, and more.
However, if a stronger, more durable, and fireproof housing material especially if you’re building your dream home, better use Rockwool.
Rockwool would definitely add up some cost to your container home, but at least you’ll have better peace of mind when it comes to durability.

Choosing a Container House Supplier/Builder
Do your research about the company. Are they reliable? Here are some ideas on how to choose a builder:
1. How do they communicate?
2. What type of house do you want: economic, modern, fully customize
3. How long have they been building homes?
4. How many homes have they built
5. Consider the design you want and the budget you have
6. Lead times

What are the interior dimensions of a prefab container?
The interior dimensions of a standard 20-ft container house are 5.95m x 3m. This makes about 17.85 square meters of floor space for 1 unit which is good enough to fit the basic parts of a house (bed, small counter, dining table, and small CR).
The first step in decorating your container house interior is to scale the furniture and compartments to this available space.
You need the square meter measurement of the rooms you want. From here, you can make your container house interior design.
Think 1-20ft container house space too small for you? Just add more units to your layout and don’t forget to consider your lot area (and the minimum allowed setback according to the National Building Code of the Philippines).

Bedroom Size Considerations
According to the Building Code of the Philippines, the smallest possible room size has at least 2.00 meters (6feet, 7inches) of horizontal distance for human habitations.
This means that a small, livable room can be around 2 meters x 3 meters (6.56 x 9.8 ft).
Since a 20ft container is 6x3m, this means you can fit 1 small bedroom with half the container.
Bathroom Size Considerations
The least dimensions for Bath and toilet should be 1.20 square meters with a least dimension of 0.90 meter.
Small Bathroom Size:1.2Mx3M
Medium Bathroom Size:1.5Mx3M
Kitchen Size Considerations
Minimum from National Building Code: 3.0 square meters with the least dimension of 1.50 meters
