Container houses in stock — Jakarta, Bangkok, Vietnam and Malaysia
We hold over 100 flat pack container house units in each of four Southeast Asian locations — Jakarta, Bangkok, Thu Dau Mot in Binh Duong, and Kulai in Johor — for dispatch in 3 days rather than a 3–5 week wait for a shipment from China. Standard 20ft and 40ft flat pack units start at US$1,000 and US$3,200 FOB. Stock held in the region is quoted at a separate landed price for each market, which is a different number from the FOB figure. Ask for the current landed price for the market you need.

Why buy from regional stock rather than order from China
The factory price of a 20ft flat pack is US$1,000–2,500 FOB. What separates that number from the one you actually pay is freight, duty and time. Stock held in the region removes the time line and usually the freight line with it, because the units are already through customs and sitting in a yard you can visit.
The real cost of waiting for a ship
| Line | Ordering from China | Pulling from regional stock |
|---|---|---|
| Production at the factory | 7–15 days after deposit | None — the unit is built |
| Ocean freight to the region | 5–12 days by lane | None — already in the region |
| Customs clearance and inland haulage | 5–10 days | 0–3 days to site |
| First unit usable on site | about 3–5 weeks | within 3 days |
| Freight per unit | US$181–544 (eight-lane range) | already inside the landed figure |
Put a number on that gap. A 16-unit camp for a construction site has 20–40 workers waiting on accommodation. If the site is paying for temporary tenting or hotel rooms at even US$15 per worker per night, three extra weeks of waiting costs US$6,300–12,600 — more than the entire freight difference between ordering from China and taking stock in country. That is the arithmetic that decides most of these purchases, not the unit price.
The same logic applies in reverse for large rollouts: if a project needs 200 units and can wait, ordering from Suzhou is cheaper per unit. Stock is for the first phase, the urgent phase, or the site that cannot absorb a five-week gap.

What buyers use stock units for
- Worker camps — first-phase accommodation while the permanent camp is built
- Site offices — a 13.9 m² office delivered before the crane arrives
- Resort overflow — staff housing or guest annexe at short notice
- Emergency and disaster response — clinics, shelters, temporary classrooms
Where the stock sits, and what stands behind it
The four stock points are not dealers. Jakarta and Bangkok are our own facilities: the Jakarta site is 5,000 m² of factory and warehouse with 20 staff and its own installation crew; Bangkok is a 6,000 m² plant owned by EasiHive, under 20 staff, with an installation team of its own. Both run at about 100 units per week, which is why stock is replenished rather than sold down.
Manufacturing runs across 16,000 m² in Suzhou with two welding lines, two sandwich panel lines and one painting line, and the core production and engineering team has 10 years in container house manufacturing. Certificates are held by the manufacturing entity, ShiHang Holdings (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. — ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 with numbers and validity dates.
Warranty is 12 months on manufacturing defects, with a 24-hour reply, a 72-hour written remedy and common spare parts held in Jakarta for same-week dispatch. Installation is available in three forms: supply only with manual and remote support, supervision by our technician of your local labour, or full installation by our own crew, who travel to site.
What the stock price includes, and what it does not
Stock units are standard shells: insulated panels, frame, floor, door, windows, lighting and sockets, delivered to your site inside the market. Four things are always separate, and a quotation that hides them is not cheaper, only later to arrive:
- Destination duty and VAT — assessed on the HS code your broker files. In Indonesia the import treatment for a complete unit differs from a panel kit; in Thailand and Malaysia the rate depends on classification. We tell you what we know and your broker confirms the number.
- Foundation — a compacted pad or screw piles. A 13.9 m² unit needs about 6 × 3 m of level ground; on soft ground the piling cost can exceed the freight.
- Utility connection — water, power and waste from the site boundary to the unit, done by a local licensed tradesman.
- Fit-out beyond the standard — bathroom pod, partition, air-conditioning, kitchenette. These are built to order, not pulled from stock, and add 1–3 weeks.
How an order from stock actually runs
- You send the market, quantity and the date the first unit must be usable.
- We confirm what is physically on the ground that week, with photographs of the units in the yard.
- You pay a deposit; we reserve the units against that batch so they are not sold twice.
- Transport is booked from the stock point to site — 3 days in each of the four markets.
- The unit is placed, levelled and connected. If you want our crew, they travel; if your crew does it, the manual and remote support are free.
- Handover includes the assembly record, the utility diagrams and the warranty document issued by the manufacturing entity.
Why we hold stock at all
Holding stock costs money: four yards, four sets of staff, capital sitting in finished units. We do it because the alternative is losing the orders that cannot wait. Most of our Southeast Asian buyers are not comparing suppliers on price; they are comparing on the date the accommodation is usable. A site that has already demobilised its tents, or a resort with bookings from next month, cannot absorb a five-week freight leg. Stock is the product for that buyer.
The second reason is service. When the unit is 30 km away rather than 4,000, a missing door handle is a same-week problem instead of a six-week one. Our Jakarta rack holds the common parts — hinges, locks, sockets, sealant, window fittings — and the same stock point supplies the installation crew. That combination is what makes a 12-month warranty practical rather than theoretical: the remedy does not depend on a container arriving from China.
What we will not do is overstate it. Stock is standard 20ft and 40ft flat pack. It will not be an expandable with a bathroom pod next week, and if that is what the project needs we will say so and quote the build time. The value of a stock page is that the number on it is real and dated — the moment it stops being either, it stops being worth publishing.
Questions buyers ask about stock
Do you have container houses in stock in Indonesia?
Yes — over 100 flat pack units in 20ft and 40ft are held in Jakarta, with dispatch in 3 days and installation by our own crew. The Jakarta facility is 5,000 m² with 20 staff and runs at about 100 units per week, so stock is replenished rather than depleted.
How fast can you deliver from stock in Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia?
All four stock points dispatch in 3 days: Bangkok from the plant, Thu Dau Mot in Binh Duong for southern Vietnam, and Kulai in Johor, which also covers Singapore across the causeway. Each market holds over 100 units.
Is the stock price landed or FOB?
Two numbers, and they are not the same. The FOB price is the factory price: US$1,000 for a 20ft unit and US$3,200 for a 40ft. A unit already sitting in Jakarta, Bangkok, Vietnam or Malaysia carries a separate landed price for that market, which differs from the FOB figure. Destination duty and VAT, where they apply, are additional again and are assessed on the HS code your broker files. Ask for the landed figure for the market you need and we will quote it against the current stock list.
Can I inspect the units before buying?
Yes. All four stock points can be visited, and the Jakarta and Bangkok sites also hold the assembly crew and the spare-part rack, so you see the unit and the support behind it in one trip. Tell us the model you want to see and we will confirm which site holds it.
What if the model I need is not in stock?
Stock is standard 20ft and 40ft flat pack in white and grey. Expandable, folding and fitted variants are built to order in Suzhou or Bangkok, typically 7–15 days of production plus the freight leg. If a project needs a mixed set, the usual approach is to take stock units for the first phase and order the rest.
Ask what is on the ground this week
Send the market, the quantity and the date you need the first unit usable. We will reply within 24 hours with what is physically in stock, the landed figure for that market, and the dispatch date — or say plainly that it is not there and quote the build time instead.
