Two framings of one range
The company website framing starts from prefabrication: houses made as integrated buildings, with folding houses and a double wing expandable container house among the main products, and apple cabins and space capsules completing the list. The supplier page framing starts from modularity: modular container houses with standard, foldable and expandable lines, apple cabins, space capsule houses and supporting insulation materials. A buyer who reads both framings sees the same houses twice, once as prefabricated buildings and once as modular houses, and that double view is useful rather than confusing.
The practical difference between the framings is small but real. Prefabrication points to how the house is made, in parts that arrive ready to assemble, while modularity points to how the house is put together, in combinations that can be changed. A buyer who cares about making should read the assembly guide, which follows the prefabrication framing, and a buyer who cares about combining should read the customisation guide, which follows the modular framing.
General words that are not product lines
Modular house and container home are general range terms rather than separate product line names. Use the listed house line name when asking about a particular house, rather than relying only on a general range term. If you know only a general range term, compare the listed lines before naming a house in your inquiry.
Ask which house wordings from the different sources identify the exact house you need. The company website uses integrated houses, box-type packing houses, folding houses and double wing expandable container house among its product wordings; ask how the wording in your inquiry corresponds to the exact supplier-listed line and configuration offered. Quote the wording you found in your inquiry, and ask the supplier to identify the exact house rather than assuming the names are interchangeable.
Using this index to reach a line
From this index, a buyer can reach any of the six supplier lines or the Alibaba single listing, and from each line page can reach the settings, guides and inquiry pages that belong with it. Use the choosing guide to compare lines by setting, shape behaviour and layout, then ask for the specifications of the exact houses offered.
A buyer who is unsure where to start should start from the setting rather than from this index: name the place the house will stand in, read that setting page, and follow it to the lines discussed for that setting. A buyer who already knows the line can skip the index entirely and go straight to the line page, where the brief questions for that line are set out.
Prefabrication and the site it arrives at
Prefabrication means the house arrives as parts ready to assemble, but the site it arrives at must be ready to receive those parts, and the buyer should describe the site's readiness in the inquiry. Access for delivery vehicles, ground preparation, storage space for parts before assembly, and services for connection are all part of readiness, and a site that is ready for a finished house may not be ready for parts that must be assembled on it.
Assembly order matters for a prefabricated house in a way it does not for a finished one, because parts must arrive in the order they are assembled, and the buyer should ask about that order. The inquiry should give the unit count, the site plan, and the date by which the houses must be ready, so that the supplier can answer about delivery sequence as well as delivery date. A prefabricated house delivered out of order is a puzzle, not a house, and the inquiry should prevent that outcome.
