Building type

Transportable Buildings

A complete building that is transported to site rather than built there.

Our design fits directly into a shipping container, which lets us use existing logistics infrastructure all the way to your nearest port. Each home ships in a 40' high-cube container — two fit in one — and on arrival it is folded out into a new home.

Questions

Common questions about transportable buildings

How much is shipping?
We recommend budgeting around USD $1,000–$2,500 for shipping to your nearest port. This price does not include customs charges and import taxes. Each expandable home ships in a 40' high-cube container, and you can fit two homes in one container. To work out an estimate, price a 40' HC full container load from Shenzhen to your nearest port with a freight calculator such as Freightos.
What is the weight of the Oslo Grand?
2.8 metric tons.
It's my first time importing from China. What do I need to do?
You must hire a customs broker in your country. They should also help you with logistics from your chosen port to the final destination. Import taxes depend on your country; for a fee we can also help you with this.
