  • Window treatments

Blinds, curtain rails, window tinting and UV treatment

  • Air-conditioning

We can also pre-install all the piping and electrical points if required. This will ensure an easy installation at a later stage if you ever decide to install air-conditioning

How Do I Start?

We go out of our way to make the process of buying your new home as easy as possible. Here are the steps:


  • We Determine if a container home will be allowed - free of charge

Send us a copy of your Title Deed. If you are still buying the plot, get a copy in any case. We will contact the municipality and check the title deed to see if a Container Home will be allowed.


  • We Talk about design

If you take one of our standard designs (Option A, B or C), the plans are included Free of Charge. Any changes, however, will incur a cost.

Our smaller custom designs (2 containers max) are priced at R7 999 excl VAT. If you decide on a more complex custom design, the design charge will be based on the scope of the build.


  • Let's Look at project pricing

Once we have the design, the costs of the build can be calculated. This includes transport, foundations, optional extras, and any additional services required.


  • We Get municipal approvals where necessary

We can assist with municipal approvals if you need our help. We have experts that can assist with the entire process. This is quoted according to the services required.


  • Let's get building

Once we have municipal approvals, we start manufacturing immediately.


  • Certificates of Compliance

We supply certificates of compliance for gas and electricity. We can also supply engineering certificates for Structural Integrity and Ecological Compliance if required by the municipality. This is at a minimal cost.


  • Are Plans Necessary?

It depends on the municipal rules in your area.

Smaller builds may qualify as a temporary structure and may not require plans.
