What is the difference between a custom build and standard model?

Custom Builds
We will craft a custom container home specific to your unique needs and location. Using a combination of stacked or adjoined 20ft and 40ft containers, we will create your dream home. We design our container homes to maximize the views and features of your property. We can incorporate just about anything into our container homes. We’ve built workshops, done a putting green, made a large rooftop garden, built custom furniture, and more.

Standard Model
Our Standard container models are inspired by our most popular custom builds. Purchasing a standard container option from our website is the quickest and most affordable way to get your pre fab Container, as it reduces a lot of the lead times and indirect costs that go into building a fully custom container home structure. Same quality, better price, delivered to you.

Are there any extra costs or fees?

We provide you with your plug-and-play container home within 10 - 16 weeks of placing your order. For planning purposes, it typically makes sense to secure your general contractor either before you meet with us or during the design phase (led by our team) of your container home. That way you will fully understand the total budget of your project:

  1. Site development: Your property may need some of the following infrastructure developments- well, septic, roads, foundation. Your general contractor can provide you with a quote for this scope of work.
  2. Install of your container home: This is primarily utility connections once your container home is delivered such as electrical, water, and plumbing. Your general contractor can provide you with a quote for this scope of work as well.
  3. Your container home: Our team works closely with you to design your container home. Once the design process is complete, we provide you with a detailed proposal that includes interior/exterior renderings, specs, and a quote for your home plus delivery.
  4. Shipping and sales tax: Shipping fees for all builds depend on the distance from our build site (either in the Texas or Wisconsin area). Shipping typically costs around $3 per mile. Delivery for all builds will be quoted at time of purchase. For delivery, we must be able to drive our flatbed, tiltbed or chassis to the site to be unloaded. Sales tax will be applied to the contract amount upon purchase. The sales tax rate applied will depend on which state your container is shipped to.

One of the main advantages of buying a container home from us is that the site development portion of your property can be completed concurrently while we are building your container home. Throughout the build process, we coordinate & consult with your general contractor to make sure site development runs smoothly and our completion timeframes line up, minimizing the time it takes to get you in your new home.

Can I move my Pre fab Container?

Technically, yes. If you have appropriate transport (flatbed, chassis, etc.), and you ensure all utilities are disconnected, the container can be moved at your discretion.

Will the metal rust on a pre fab Container?

The short answer is Yes. Corten steel will rust much slower than mild steel, and will remain water proof through its lifetime. Corten containers are corrosion resistant. Added layers of rust resistant paint and primer provides extra support.

What type of containers do you use? Are they inspected?

Our containers are either brand new or 'one trip', meaning they shipped cargo one time before they were sold to us. 'One trip' containers are considered like new and rarely have any blemishes on them. We build all of our container homes to the IBC/ IRC code standard and adjust for local regulations, as needed. Our third party inspector partner inspects our homes at rough-in and at final, if required for the project. Our inspectors are highly reputable and respected in the construction space. All of our container homes are subject to our quality control program as well. Our highly-skilled craftman only use high-quality materials and finishings when building our homes. However, if a more affordable solution is required we are more than happy to discuss alternatives that fit your budget needs without compromising our quality standards.

Are you a family owned business?

Yes, we are proud to be a 100% family owned business with all of our operations and facilities located in the USA with production facilities in Texas and Wisconsin.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes. We accept all major credit cards, however transaction fees may apply depending on the card used.
