Container House South Africa

With its excellent product quality and efficient and convenient installation, container houses are becoming more and more popular among customers. Today, I will analyze the pros and cons of container houses based on a customer case in South Africa, so that you can more intuitively understand the product quality and popularity of our factory's container houses.

Introduction of Our Factory

The container houses produced by our factory can be customized in size. However, after the usage habits of a large number of customers and the precise design of our engineers, we got a size that many customers like and it is very convenient to use.

This size is twenty feet. Therefore, our factory has obtained a large number of orders for container houses, through which twenty-foot container houses can be designed with various functions of container houses. And because our factory is located in the weifang, shandong, China, the container houses produced by our factory only need to be shipped from Qingdao port, which is 150 kilometers away, and the freight cost is not too high. The production cost is also reduced because it is in the hometown of container houses, where there are a large number of container house raw material suppliers.

There are more than 100 employees in our factory. There are 4 production lines in the container house production plant. The three factories can produce different types of prefabricated houses, including steel structure, K-shaped prefabricated houses, T-shaped prefabricated houses and folding houses.

South Africa Project Progress

My client James is an educator who opened his own education and training facility in South Africa. As the person in charge, he is very business savvy. He saw the advantages of prefabricated houses, so he contacted us. As his direct sales manager, I communicated clearly about his product house requirements at the first time. So, according to his requirements, I designed drawings for him. After reading the drawings, he felt that every house should have a corridor. And the corridor needs to be added with a canopy, so I made a second design modification according to his requirements. After the revision, he looked at the drawings and expressed his satisfaction. However, after reading the quotation for the corridor, he felt that it was a bit expensive. He thought that he could use it without the corridor. So I removed the corridor for him, but he wanted a canopy along the top of the house. I kept the canopy for him. The classroom is made up of three standard twenty-foot container houses, and the classroom is spacious and bright. I added a schematic diagram of the layout of the table, chairs and benches to him, which made the drawings more clear.

Then, James saw that we could also make a container house with a glass curtain wall, so he wanted to make an office with a glass curtain wall and put it at the school entrance, which would show a high-end style. According to his request, I recommended one that we made ourselves. The office showed him, and he really liked it. Finally, I made a teacher's office for him by splicing three twenty-foot container houses with glass curtain walls, as shown in the picture below.

After the whole project, I made careful calculations for him, and only spent less than 100,000 US dollars. Is this a very good deal?

If you also have a container house you want, please come and contact me.

Advantages of Container Houses

Through the purchase of container houses produced by our factory this time, James in South Africa, I summarize as follows. First of all, our container house has very good waterproof performance. There are gutters at the top of the house and downspouts inside the corner posts of each container house. This design allowed us to win a key victory when compared with many domestic and foreign container house suppliers. Many other suppliers do not have our sophisticated drainage design system. Second, every one of our shipping containers has bottom purlins upgraded from nine to sixteen. 

This upgrade allows our container house to withstand one ton of pressure per square meter. Good pressure-bearing capacity makes our container house more widely used, and the MGO glass-magnesium board or cement board laid at the bottom has better pressure-bearing capacity. Finally, I want to say that our entire house adopts a very strict anti-seepage design, and a sealing strip is placed at every gap. On the basis of the sealing strip, we put a sealant. Structural glue is applied to each screw. The main steel frame of the house is made of 2.3mm galvanized steel, model Q235, which meets the import standards of most countries.

All in all, that's why I gained the trust of my clients in my communications with James South Africa.
