What Is A Container Home?
A modular container home is a residential dwelling repurposed or custom-built based on standard prefab containers. Units are prefabricated off-site as complete living modules, then transported and assembled on-site to form permanent or semi-permanent housing. These completed modules are then transported to a building site and permanently assembled on a prepared foundation to form a full residence. .

SPECIFICATIONS OF FLAT PACK CONTAINER HOME
A single 20ft flat pack unit is typically shipped as a bundle that occupies only 1/4 of the size of a standard shipping container — four such bundles stacked together equal the size of one standard shipping container. Each bundle contains the following complete components:
Size: 6055*2435*2896mm
Weight : 2000 Kgs
Chassis
A pre-welded steel floor integrity frame ensuring structural stability. External wainscot is 0.3mm galvanized steel sheet metal, and insulation is glass wool. The supporting material is 16mm cement board and the inside decoration is 2mm rubber plastic flooring. Permitted loading: 2.0KN/m2
Roof
A pre-welded integrity roof frame ensuring structural stability, outside is 0.5mm color steel as the surface, middle is 75mm glass wool insulation. Inside is 9mm melamine board. Permitted live loading:1.5 KN/m2
Corner Columns
Four structural steel posts designed to connect the floor frame securely to the roof frame.
Wall Panels
Insulated "sandwich" panels (usually Rockwool or PU insulation) that easily slot into the frame for quick assembly.
Openings
Pre-cut and pre-fitted doors and windows integrated into specific wall panels, eliminating on-site cutting work.
Finishing Kit
Floor slab covering leather/vinyl, skying ceiling, and corner trim to cover bolts and create a neat, polished interior finish.
Hidden Drainage
Rainwater flows into the four corners of the roof and travels down inside the hollow Corner Columns, exiting through holes in the Chassis. This prevents the "sheet of water" effect falling off the sides of the building.
Electrical "Plug & Play"
Prefab flatpack containers include factory-installed conduits within the roof frame and wall panels.
Customizations include
Heating and cooling systems. Compact kitchen. Sanitary facilities and restrooms. Furnishings and fixtures.
