What can a shipping container be used for?
Storage, homes, offices, shops and stalls, schools, clinics, ablution blocks, cold rooms and portable fuel stations. We convert them to your specification.
How much does a container home cost?
A 20ft studio starts at Ksh 650,000 and a 40ft one-bedroom at Ksh 1,000,000 for fabrication, plus the container, transport and site preparation. Container homes typically cost about 30% less than a conventional build of the same size.

Dry container delivery in Nairobi can take 24–48 hours. Offices and stalls usually take 7–14 days, and container homes or multi-unit projects 3–6 weeks.
