At your location, you only need simple ground preparation and basic connections.

Expandable house Manufacturing Process

At Container House Co., Ltd, every expandable modular container home is manufactured step by step in our factory.

We first build and weld the steel frame to ensure strength and smooth expansion.
Then wall panels, roof, floor, doors, windows, and electrical systems are assembled as complete modules inside the factory.

Before delivery, each unit is fully opened, closed, and inspected to confirm proper expansion and stable performance.
Only after passing quality checks is the house packed and shipped.
