Container House Warranty and After-Sales
Updated 2026-11-01 · JIUJIAN GLOBAL technical team
Expect a structural warranty of 10-20 years, panel and finish warranty of 5-10 years, and electrical and appliance parts of 12-24 months. Make the claim process concrete: photo evidence, module serial, a named contact, a response deadline, and an agreed split of spare-part freight. Ask for a spare-parts list with prices at handover.
Warranty periods are the easy part of the negotiation. The part that decides whether a defect gets fixed is the claim procedure: who you write to, what evidence you send, and who pays to move the part across an ocean.
Typical coverage
| Element | Common period | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Structural steel frame | 10-20 years | Against structural failure under design loads |
| Panels and cladding | 5-10 years | Against delamination and coating failure |
| Doors, windows, hardware | 12-24 months | Operation and sealing |
| Electrical components | 12 months | Excludes site wiring by others |
| Appliances and AC | 12-24 months | Usually the appliance maker's warranty |
Making the claim process work
- Name a single warranty contact and an email address in the contract.
- Require a response within five working days and a remedy plan within fifteen.
- Define the evidence: photos, module serial, date of installation, description of the fault.
- Agree the freight split and a minimum claim value so small issues are handled locally with a credit.
- Ask for a spare-parts price list at handover, valid for at least two years.
Design decisions that reduce claims
Standardise the panel and window sizes across the project so one spare fits several units. Specify replaceable cladding rather than a monolithic finish. Keep the as-built drawing set and the inspection report; both shorten every later conversation. For coastal sites, add a maintenance interval for sealant and fixings to the handover document, because most "panel failures" in coastal projects are fastener corrosion.
What to put in the contract
Warranty period per element, claim procedure, response deadlines, freight allocation, spare-parts availability, and the documents handed over at completion. Our contract checklist lists the remaining clauses, and quality control explains the factory checks that feed the inspection report.
