How Buying a Container Home Works
- Pick a model. Start from any model above and customize it, or book a design consultation for a custom layout and a detailed quote.
- Line up financing through our pool of lenders, or pay cash and skip this step.
- Confirm your site. You confirm zoning and permits with your local authorities, and we provide the product specs to support that.
- Place your deposit. Your home goes into production with one of our established Texas fabrication partners, and we keep you updated along the way.
- Delivery. We coordinate shipping nationwide. Typical lead times are 8 to 12 weeks.
