Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom build take?
Most projects are completed in 4–8 weeks after design approval. Complex multi-container builds or projects requiring permits may take 10–12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before you commit.
Can I supply my own container?
Absolutely. We can modify a container you already own, or we can source the ideal base container for your project. We recommend starting with a one-trip (new) or cargo-worthy unit for the best results.
Do you handle permits and engineering?
Yes. We provide stamped structural engineering plans and can assist with local building permit applications. Permit requirements vary by municipality, so we recommend starting this process early.
What warranty do custom builds carry?
All custom builds include a 2-year structural warranty and a 1-year warranty on mechanical systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing). Extended warranty packages are available at checkout.
