How it works

A simple, managed process from first call to installed unit.

01

Consult

We talk through your use, budget, and site, then recommend the right container size and layout.

02

Design

We plan the layout, openings, finishes, and services, and confirm everything with you before we cut steel.

03

Fabricate

Our team converts the container in our Harare workshop: framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, and finishing.

04

Deliver & Install

We deliver to your site and set the unit in place, ready to connect and use.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a container conversion take?

Most conversions are completed in a few weeks depending on size and finish. We confirm a timeline once the design is agreed.

Are container homes insulated for our climate?

Yes. We insulate walls and roofs so units stay comfortable in both hot and cold conditions.

Can you deliver outside Harare?

Yes. We deliver and install across Zimbabwe. Delivery is quoted based on your site location.

Do you handle plumbing and electrical?

Yes. We fit electrical, lighting, and plumbing as part of the conversion so the unit arrives ready to connect.
