What an off-grid container home includes

Please note: the container home is supplied as a finished unit. Solar panels, inverters, batteries and all off-grid power equipment are not included and are not supplied or installed by us — they must be sourced separately from a third-party supplier. The same applies to water storage, pumps and waste systems — those are yours to arrange.

Planning an off-grid setup in Australia

Off-grid living needs power, water and waste planned together. A third-party specialist will design those systems for your site and your usage.

What you arrange

You provide the land, a level base or piles, and the off-grid power, water and waste systems. Planning these while the home is in transit keeps the timeline short.

Suitability

Remote sites vary in access and rules. Check what your area allows before ordering.

Payment and terms

Payment is by bank transfer in full. All off-grid systems, tariffs, duties and local delivery are extra.

How to order

Send the size and layout you need, plus your nearest port, for an exact quote for the home.

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.

Services and connections

Electrical, water and waste are the parts of a container build that are always local, always regulated, and frequently underestimated in budget. The work divides cleanly into three parts.

Electrical: the unit can arrive with wiring, circuits and fittings installed and documented, but the connection to a supply, the meter and the final certification are carried out by a licensed local electrician. Confirm before ordering what documentation the factory provides, because an inspector will want to see it.

Water and waste: supply is usually straightforward if a main is nearby. Waste is the expensive half — it needs either a gravity fall to an existing sewer or a treatment system with its own consent and site assessment. Establish which applies to your site before you commit to a unit, because it can cost more than the unit itself.

Heating, cooling and hot water: these are specified with the unit but commissioned locally. In a well-insulated shell the plant can be smaller and cheaper to run than in a poorly insulated one, which is why the envelope decision pays back over the life of the building.

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.
