72m² Expandable Container cabin – FAQ

1. How long does installation take on-site?

For a standard 72 m² unit, installation typically takes 2–4 hours with 3–5 workers. Since 90% of the structure is pre-assembled in the factory, the process mainly involves unfolding the wings, securing the structure, and connecting utilities.


2. What foundation is required?

This model works with multiple foundation types:

  • Concrete slab
  • Strip foundation
  • Adjustable steel piers

We provide foundation drawings and load specifications, ensuring stability across different soil and climate conditions.


3. Can the layout be customized?

Yes. We support full internal customization, including:

  • Bedroom and living room configurations
  • Kitchen and bathroom positioning
  • Window and door placement
  • Interior finishes and colors

This is especially useful for resorts, worker housing, rental units, and retail spaces.


4. Is the unit suitable for extreme climates?

Absolutely. With 75mm PU insulation panels and a sealed structure:

  • Handles temperatures from −30°C to +55°C
  • Wind resistance up to 120 km/h
  • waterproof design with EPDM seals

Optional upgrades are available for snow-heavy or high-wind regions.


5. How is transportation handled?

The unit is shipped as a standard 40ft container, which means:

  • No oversize transport costs
  • Compatible with global shipping lines
  • Easy inland trucking and handling

This significantly reduces logistics complexity and cost for bulk orders.


6. Can multiple units be combined or stacked?

Yes. The structure is designed for:

  • Horizontal combination (expand living space)
  • Vertical stacking up to 3 floors

This allows developers to create apartment-style layouts or modular communities.


7. What about electricity and plumbing?

All systems are pre-installed in the factory, including:

  • Wiring and distribution panel
  • Plumbing pipelines and drainage
  • Lighting and switches

On-site work is limited to external connections, saving time and labor costs.


8. What is the production lead time?

Standard lead time is:

  • 30 days for single units
  • Bulk orders depend on quantity but are optimized through our production lines

We prioritize fast delivery for project-based orders.
