Procurement FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from our engineering desk regarding international procurement, freight, and technical submittals.

An expandable container house is a factory-prefabricated modular building featuring a central structural core and two fold-out side wings. Transported in a compact ISO container footprint, the unit unfolds on site via heavy-duty hinges and mechanical leverage to deliver up to three times its shipping floor area in less than 30 minutes.

Typically, two complete 20ft expandable container units (folded to package dimensions of 2200 x 5900 x 2480 mm) fit into a single 40ft High Cube (HQ) shipping container, drastically lowering ocean freight cost per square metre.

Yes. Constructed with 150x150mm hot-dip galvanized steel columns, reinforced main beams, and interlocking sandwich panels, units are engineered to sustain wind loads up to typhoon scale 11-12 and withstand regional seismic forces.

Yes, all electrical wiring, breaker panels, light switches, and wall sockets are pre-installed according to client destination requirements (CE, UL, BS, or AU/NZS standards; 110V/220V/240V configurations).
