Flat Pack Container House

A flat pack container house is built from a galvanised steel frame and sandwich panel walls, then partially disassembled for shipping. Each module fits a standard 20ft footprint, so a full container can carry several units at once and a site crane or light forklift can lift them into position.

The structure is a welded steel base frame with corner castings, four corner posts and a top frame. Walls are 50 mm, 75 mm or 100 mm sandwich panels — EPS for cost, rock wool or glass wool for fire performance — and the floor is plywood or cement board over steel purlins. Electrical wiring, sockets, lights and the distribution box are installed and tested in the factory, so on-site work is limited to positioning, bolting modules together and connecting the incoming supply.

Where flat pack modules fit best

• Site offices, meeting rooms and site canteens
• Worker dormitories, single or stacked two to three levels
• Site clinics, first-aid rooms and welfare units
• Long-term camps where a repeatable, standard module keeps cost down

Because the units stack, a two or three level block with an external steel staircase and walkway gives the highest bed count per square metre of land. Modules can also be combined side by side with the partition walls removed to create open spaces such as canteens or recreation rooms.

What we need to quote

Send the layout you have in mind, the number of users, the destination port and the local electrical standard (US 110V, EU 220V, AU, UK). We reply with a specification, a loading plan and a price per unit. Final dimensions, panel thickness and fittings are confirmed on the production drawing before production starts.
