Introduction:
For more 40ft Expandable Container Houseinformation, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.
Expandable container house is based on flatpack but can be extended the building area from both sides. The main part of an expandable is a 20ft or 40ft flatpack, but with folded roof, wall and base on both sides when packed. When arrives in the site, two sides can be open and connected, so extra space on both sides will be made. A 20ft flatpack container house has only around 14sqm building area, but a 20ft expandable has around 36sqm.
But expandable container house cannot be stacked or even difficult to be combined, it normally used as a single house with two to four bedrooms plus bathroom and living area.
The expandable cube is full prefabricated in workshop, all structure well connected, wall and roof panels are well installed, doors and windows are pre-set in the wall panels, plumbing and electricals are embedded and ready to use, floor and ceiling are finished, only need to fix some connections, flashings and shirting onsite.

The expandable can be folded during transportation, which makes it cost saving. We can fold the two side parts into the main center part, make it a 20ft or 40ft SOC box, put other components inside the SOC box then load into shipping container. In this way, each SOC box is one unit of expandable, so you can find all components easily onsite. Or if any delay of the project, you can also put the SOC box in warehouse or in the site, there will be no mess up or damage, no accessory will get lost either.
SOC packing of expandable container house
Loading: can lift and push into the shipping container directly. When arrives on the site, can be pulled out easily.
Towing of the expandable packages: the expandable can be lift and transported directly. There are container corner fittings which can be locked onto the truck to make sure the safety during transportation.
Applications & related projects:
Construction site office or accommodation camp: cause the expandable is more expensive than flatpack and detachable, nor they can be built in multiple floor buildings, so most are be used as manager’s family living or small office.
They can be placed as individual homes, more luxury and more privacy, two to four bedrooms designs can also satisfy most family’s requirements. Specially for some long-term development projects with enough land.

Our units will not pass a building permit.
The standard ceiling height needs to be a minimum of 2.4m and our units are 2.25m in ceiling height.
Alternatively we can put our unit on a trailer, and then it would be regarded as an expandable caravan or tiny house. And it wouldn’t then need a building permit,
But we always recommend you consult your council if that’s the case with their regulations.
