Container Home Delivery Time: How Long From Order to Move-In

This is one of the biggest advantages of container homes over traditional construction. Our lead times: production takes 4 to 6 weeks from deposit. Shipping takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on your port. Setup takes 1 to 3 days with a crane. Total from order to move-in: 7 to 13 weeks. Compare that to a traditional house at 6 to 18 months. Factors that affect timing: port distance. If you are near a major port like LA, Houston, or Savannah the shipping leg is faster. Inland locations add trucking time. Foundation prep should happen while the unit is in transit. That way it is ready when the container arrives. Weather can delay crane setup. Rain and high wind days mean rescheduling. Seasonal demand. Summer is busier. Winter orders sometimes ship faster. We send tracking updates at every stage. Production start, completion, shipping, arrival, delivery date. If timing is critical for you let us know and we can prioritize.
