A shipping container is a standardized steel box originally designed for transporting cargo across oceans. However, their robust construction, portability, and modular nature make them incredibly versatile. At Frontier Containers, we convert them into homes, offices, shops/stalls, schools, clinics, ablution blocks, cold storage (reefers), fuel stations (tanktainers), and many more custom uses.
The total cost has three parts: the empty container (20ft: Ksh 160,000–250,000; 40ft High Cube: Ksh 350,000–420,000), fabrication/modification costs (20ft studio: Ksh 650,000–750,000; 40ft 1-bedroom: Ksh 1,000,000–1,450,000), plus transport and site preparation. On average, a fully finished container home costs approximately 30% less than a traditional brick home of the same size.
Lead times depend on the complexity of the project. A simple dry container delivery within Nairobi can happen within 24–48 hours. A standard container office or basic stall takes 7–14 days to fabricate. Complex container homes or multi-unit projects typically take 3–6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline at the start of every project and keep you updated throughout.
Yes! We offer both outright purchase and flexible leasing plans. Leasing is ideal for temporary projects, events, construction sites, or businesses that want to conserve capital. We have monthly and long-term lease plans. Contact our sales team to discuss the options that best fit your timeline and budget.
Absolutely. Containers are made from Corten steel — a weathering steel designed to withstand extreme marine environments. They are built to resist heavy rain, strong winds, and intense UV exposure. With proper insulation (which we install as standard on all habitable containers), they maintain comfortable internal temperatures even in hot climates like Nairobi, Mombasa, or arid upcountry regions.
100% yes. Every Frontier Containers project starts with your unique vision. Our designers and engineers work with you to create a custom layout, choose your preferred finishes (flooring, wall lining, windows, doors), select your color scheme, and specify all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical requirements.
We deliver to all 47 counties in Kenya and can also arrange cross-border delivery to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and South Sudan. Our fleet of modern crane-mounted trucks is equipped to handle difficult terrain and tight access points. Delivery costs vary by distance — contact us with your location for a precise quote.
Simply contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or through our contact form below. Share your idea, size requirements, intended use, location, and budget range. Our team will reach out within hours for a free consultation. We then arrange a site visit if needed, prepare designs and a detailed quote, and proceed to fabrication once you're satisfied and the deposit is confirmed.
