Your site needs a level foundation before delivery. Options include concrete piers (most economical), concrete slab (most stable), or helical piles (for challenging terrain). The site must be accessible by crane truck and flatbed trailer - typically requiring 14 feet width clearance and adequate overhead clearance. We'll assess your site during consultation and recommend the best foundation type. Many clients hire local contractors for site prep since costs vary significantly by region.

Containers are transported on flatbed trailers and placed using a crane. The delivery typically takes 2-4 hours depending on complexity. Our logistics team coordinates delivery date with you well in advance. On delivery day, our crew ensures proper placement, performs final connections, and conducts a thorough walkthrough. We handle all transportation logistics - you just need to ensure site access and foundation are ready.

Your container will need electrical hookup (we pre-wire to a main panel location), water connection (if including plumbing), and wastewater disposal (septic, sewer, or composting toilet). For off-grid setups, we can incorporate solar panels, water tanks, and alternative waste systems. We install all interior systems - you or your local contractors handle the external utility connections from your property's main services to the container's connection points.

Yes! We've delivered to remote mountain properties, island locations (via barge), and rural land. Remote delivery requires careful planning - we'll assess road conditions, turning radius, overhead clearances, and crane access. Additional costs apply for challenging locations, but container homes are often ideal for remote sites because they arrive nearly complete. We've successfully delivered to locations across the Northeast and can coordinate logistics anywhere in the region.

Our containers are 95% complete at delivery. Once placed and utilities connected (typically 1-2 days after delivery), you can move in. Some clients choose to add final touches like landscaping, deck furniture, or minor personalization. Full packages include appliances installed and ready to use. We provide detailed instructions for utility hookup and first-time operation of all systems. A final walkthrough ensures you're comfortable with everything before we depart.

We have solutions! For sites with extremely limited access, we can build your container on-site rather than delivering a completed unit. This is more expensive and time-consuming but allows installation in locations unreachable by crane. Alternatively, we can explore smaller cranes, different access routes, or temporary road improvements. During site assessment, we'll determine the best approach and provide options with associated costs.
