How it works...
Have Your Build Picked Out?
Examine Local Zoning Laws
As a developer, you may already be aware of your zoning requirements, but if not here is the low-down for the US: Each State and then each County or Town has zoning laws. You need to contact your local zoning office to determine if your neighborhood is container build friendly.
California has a very friendly ADU policy. They also have this wonderful website where you can start your journey.

Florida has this ADU guide: here

CANADA: The cities of Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa, along with almost every municipality in Ontario, allow some types of ADUs.

*You must fill out a zoning permit form for your county or town. Internet search: "your county" and "zoning permit" and you should find information with a link to its form. Fill out the form and send it for approval.
Delivery
Your containers are built in our warehouse in 8-12 weeks! Delivery and installation depend on your land's access points, power wires, trees, obstacles, etc. We deliver via flatbed truck and will help you coordinate your professional delivery and utility hookups.
Financing or Payment Plan
Figure out your payment plan. If you need financing, we have options here: financing
Or contact your mortgage lender for a Line of Credit, Homeowners Loan or Construction Loan.
Foundation
Working with a General Contractor: once your zoning permit is approved, consider the foundation for your containers. Foundation options will depend on your land's surface.

Make Design Decisions
Review your options of furnishing packages, interior and exterior paint colors, cabinet options, appliances, solar elements, bathroom finishes, exterior cladding, etc. that we will provide you during our consultation!
Utilities
Power, water, and sewer solutions for your containers will depend on your zoning laws. Add solar/wind/battery power, connect to the grid, or use a generator. For water, tap into your city's main waterline or your own well/catchment system. Work with the zoning manager of your area to determine what is best.
