Container Homes for Disaster Relief — Rapid, Durable Shelter

Quick answer

Container units suit disaster relief and emergency housing because they deploy fast, are durable and secure, and can be used as temporary or long-term accommodation. They can include basic services and be clustered into a support site. Multi-unit orders ship together, so a batch can be delivered quickly.

Shelter at speed

After a disaster, speed is everything. Container units are finished, stackable and shippable, so a batch can be deployed quickly where it is needed.

Durable through recovery

Unlike tents, a steel unit is secure and weather-tight, and lasts from emergency response through to long-term recovery, reducing the need for repeated replacements.

Basic services

Units can be fitted with basic kitchen, washroom and power provision, so a site is functional even where infrastructure is damaged.

Cluster into a site

Several units together form a support site with accommodation, washrooms, offices and stores, using a single standardised supply.

Scaling quickly

Ordering many units together means they ship together, so a whole site can be supplied as one delivery.

Getting started

Send the number of units and facilities needed and your nearest port, and we will quote the units and shared freight. Bank transfer in full; delivery port-to-port (FOB).

Frequently asked questions

How is payment handled?

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production.

How are units delivered?

Units ship folded and are delivered port-to-port (FOB). You arrange local transport from the port to your site.

Can I order more than one unit?

Yes. Multi-unit orders ship together, which lowers the freight cost per unit.

What to check before you commit

Three checks prevent most problems. First, confirm what your local authority will classify the unit as once it is permanently sited, and get that in writing. Second, get a local price for the work after the port — haulage, lifting, foundation and connections — because those costs are not related to the unit price and are where budgets move. Third, ask for the structural drawings and the insulation specification before you order.

On the unit itself, look at four things: how the shell was reinforced at every opening, what insulation is used and how the vapour strategy works, what documentation arrives with the electrical installation, and what the structural warranty actually covers. A supplier who can answer all four promptly is building to a standard you can inspect.

On payment and delivery, understand the terms clearly before committing: units are sold port-to-port (FOB) with payment by bank transfer in full before production, and the buyer arranges local transport and site works from the arrival port.

Getting a real number

Send your destination postal code and the model you are considering, and we take that to a customs broker and return an all-in delivered figure — unit, ocean freight, duty and brokerage — usually within one business day. There is no online checkout and no obligation: the quote opens the conversation rather than closing it.

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production, and units are delivered port-to-port (FOB); you arrange local transport from the arrival port to your site. We work factory-direct with a single vetted manufacturer, so the price you see is the same price a retailer would pay, with no distributor margin layered on top.
