Introduction
When you buy a modular prefab house online, you are usually talking to a trading company — a middleman who adds a margin, passes your order to an unknown workshop, and disappears once problems appear.
We are different. We are the factory.
Based in Qingzhou, Shandong, China, our 6,000 m² production facility has been designing and manufacturing modular prefab houses, space capsule houses, and expandable container buildings since 2019. Every unit you see on this website — the E7 capsule, the Apple cabin, the Z-type foldable house, the A-frame cabin, the expandable container — is designed in our office, welded in our workshop, finished by our own team, and loaded into containers under our own QC inspection.
No trading company. No subcontractors. No surprises.
In this article, we take you inside our factory to show exactly how a modular house goes from raw steel to a turnkey pod shipped to your port.
Why Buying Direct from the Factory Matters
A lot of customers ask us: "Why should I buy from a factory in China instead of a local supplier or a trading company?"
Three reasons:
- Price. Trading companies add 15–30% on top. When you buy direct, you get the real factory price — typically USD 10,000–35,000 per unit, depending on the model.
- Customization. Want a different wall color, a 220V electrical system for Europe, a shower instead of a bathtub, or a 6-meter extension? A trading company cannot change that. We can, because we design and build every panel ourselves.
- Quality control. When a trading company passes your order to the cheapest workshop that week, nobody is watching quality. In our factory, every unit passes through 14 inspection stations before it leaves the floor.

How We Build a Space Capsule House, Step by Step
Every unit we ship goes through the same six-stage production process. Here is what happens on our floor:
Stage 1: Steel Frame Fabrication
It starts with galvanized steel coils. Our laser cutters cut the base chassis, wall studs, and roof trusses to exact dimensions. The frame is the skeleton of the house — and the part that determines whether the unit survives a 20-day ocean voyage. We use 2.5 mm galvanized square tube for the main chassis, thicker than the 1.5 mm you will find on most competitors.
Stage 2: Welding and Priming
Robotic and manual welders assemble the chassis, wall frames, and roof structure. Every weld is visually inspected. The frame then goes through a shot-blasting line to remove rust and mill scale, followed by an anti-corrosion primer and a top-coat in your chosen color (white, gray, black, or custom RAL).
Stage 3: Insulated Panel Assembly
Walls, floor, and roof are filled with 75–100 mm polyurethane or rock-wool insulation. The exterior skin is aluminum composite panel or galvanized steel; the interior is finished with moisture-resistant melamine board or PVC wall panels. This is the stage where the empty steel frame starts to look like a livable room.
Stage 4: Glazing and Doors
Curved aluminum frames hold the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Tempered double-glazed glass (5+12A+5) is standard, with optional triple glazing for cold climates. Front doors are aluminum-framed with smart locks, pre-wired for electronic access.
Stage 5: Interior Finishing
This is where the unit turns into a home. Our interior team installs:
- Bathroom pods with shower, toilet, washbasin, and hot water system
- Kitchenette with sink, cabinetry, and under-counter fridge space
- LED ceiling lighting, switches, sockets, and circuit breaker
- Ducted air conditioning / heating unit
- Wardrobes, beds, and sofa beds (optional furniture package)
Stage 6: Pre-Delivery Inspection and Loading
Before any unit leaves the factory, our QC team runs a full checklist: water pressure test, electrical insulation test, door/window seal test, air conditioning function test, and a visual check of every interior surface. Only units that pass all 14 checkpoints are approved for loading.
The finished pod is then wrapped in protective film and steel-strapped into a 20GP or 40HQ container. On a single 40HQ, we can load:
- 1 × E7 space capsule (Disassembly and assembly of modular components)
- 2 × Apple cabins (fully assembled)
- 6 × Z-type foldable units (folded flat)
Our Product Lineup Built Under One Roof
Because we control the entire production line, we can offer five distinct modular building types from the same factory:
- E7 Space Capsule — Our flagship pod, 11.5 × 3.3 × 3.3 m, panoramic glass both ends.
- Apple Cabin — Budget-friendly single-shell pod, turnkey with bathroom and AC.
- Double-Decker Apple Cabin — Two stacked pods for high-density site housing.
- Z-Type Foldable Container — Folds flat for ultra-low shipping cost; deploys in under an hour.
- Expandable Container House — Slides open on-site to double interior space; ideal for offices and clinics.
- A-Frame Cabin — Traditional pitched-roof design for ski resorts and forest camps.
We also build mobile coffee kiosks, exhibition pods, and site office containers to order. If you can describe the size and layout, we can build it.
We handle export packing, commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Customs clearance at destination is the buyer's responsibility, but we provide all the documents you need (CE declaration, Fumigation certificate, Certificate of Origin) to make it smooth.
