Short answer

Flat pack container houses are installed in a sequence from foundation to handover: site preparation and foundation, delivery and lifting of modules, panel locking, MEP connection, and final inspection. A typical crew of 4-6 workers using basic hand tools and a crane or telehandler can complete one unit in 6-10 hours, depending on site conditions and module size.
