Quick answer
Container Home R-Value: How Insulated Should Yours Be? — in short: expandable container homes are built to order, shipped folded to keep freight low, and delivered port-to-port. Every order is quoted individually because shipping, tariffs and duties depend on destination.
- Sizes from 10FT (18.5 sqm) to 40FT (74 sqm), plus double-storey villas.
- Units arrive internally finished; services connect on site.
- Ask for a quote with your nearest port and required size.
