Prices, lead times, transport

Questions and answers

Prices, dimensions, transport and how an order runs, gathered in one place. We answer from our own projects and our model catalogue.

If you would rather see for yourself, the works in Radom are open on working days and you do not need an appointment.

Prices and payment

How much does a sandwich panel container cost?

Ready models cost from 25 700 to 47 200 PLN net. The difference comes from the floor area, the type of doors and windows and the fit-out. That is the price of the container itself, without transport and unloading. The configuration of every model is set out on the models page, and we price a non-standard building through the calculator.

Does the price include transport and unloading?

No. The price covers the container itself. We work out delivery and unloading separately for every order, because it depends on the distance from our works and on how the unloading looks on site. Transport and unloading are on us, and the building arrives as a finished module.

Do you hire out containers?

No, we sell our buildings. If you would rather not pay the whole amount up front, there is leasing: the deposit is then 10% instead of the 40% advance. We do not provide the leasing ourselves. We work with Millenium Leasing and pass on the contact details of an account manager who knows our containers.

Write to us and we will explain both routes.

Can a bathroom fit in the container, and what does it cost?

Yes. A complete bathroom is 5 000 PLN net, a shower with a water heater on its own is 2 500 PLN net. Dividing the room off is priced separately: a partition wall costs 400 PLN net per running metre, an internal door 1 000 PLN net. We mark where the sanitary fittings go on the floor plan before the building enters production.

Ordering and installation

What container sizes are available?

We build to any size. The catalogue has two ranges: 6 × 3 m, which is 18 m², and 8 × 3 m, which is 24 m². That is not a limit, only two ready sizes. A building in other dimensions is priced individually, so write to us. Buildings we have made are shown in the project gallery.

What windows, doors and shopfronts do you fit?

Shopfront windows come in two versions: fixed, and tilt and turn, which opens. Doors are glazed aluminium, single or double leaf, or steel technical doors. Windows are tilt and turn, in PVC or in aluminium. Profiles come in a cold and a warm version. The dimensions and prices of every variant are in the calculator.

What comes as standard in the electrical installation?

As standard there are two LED lights, two double sockets, a consumer unit inside and a connection box outside, which you connect the supply to. We run the electrics in two ways: hidden in the panel or visible in trunking. Extra sockets, light points and outlets are added at the quotation stage.

Where will the sockets be, and can I move them?

Once the order is confirmed you get a floor plan with the sockets, the lighting, the air conditioning unit and the outlets marked on it. You mark your changes on it: the height of a socket, the wall, the side the door opens to. Only after you confirm it does the plan go into production.

What do you do, and what stays on my side?

The ground and bringing the services to the building - power, water and drainage - stay on your side. We do the installations inside, and the transport and unloading with our own lorry-mounted crane. We run the pipes and connections outside the footprint of the container, so connecting up comes down to tying into what you have on site.

How much will the floor take? I want to put machines in.

The standard floor is rated for 250 kg per square metre, because a lattice set into the frame works underneath it. If your equipment weighs more, we weld extra members into the frame. Tell us at the quotation stage what is going inside and how much it weighs.

How does an order run, from enquiry to finished building?

We start from what the building is for, what dimensions it should have and where it will stand. On that basis you get a quotation and a technical specification. Once you accept it the building goes into production, and at the end we take it to site, set it down on the prepared ground and level it.

How long does an order take?

Usually four to six weeks pass from order to finished building. Production of a standard container itself takes about five working days. We count the lead time from the deposit, not from the day we speak. If you are planning an opening for a particular date, count it from the deposit.

Non-standard doors and windows, or a sandwich panel other than the catalogue one, add a few weeks. We confirm the exact date with the quotation, so write to us.

Do you have anything available straight away?

We try to keep one finished 6 × 3 m container in the yard for immediate collection, usually with a glazed door and two shopfront windows. Current availability is shown on the available now page. If the building is to be made for you, the standard lead time applies.

Is the container suitable for year-round use?

Yes. Sandwich panel has an insulating core, so the building holds its temperature in winter and in summer. With the core thickness chosen well, heating bills stay low.

Does the container have air conditioning, and will it heat in winter?

Air conditioning is an extra, not part of the standard. We fit two-way units: they cool in summer and heat in winter, and for our clients they are the main source of heating. In the bathroom we usually add a panel or electric heater, because the air conditioning does not reach there. There are two options, 3.4 kW at 3 500 PLN net and 5.1 kW at 5 000 PLN net, both prices with fitting.

What can be adapted in the container?

Every model has its own configuration: the type of doors and shopfront windows, the window layout, the facade colours, the fit-out inside. We record the changes in the specification before production starts.

Transport and delivery

How does transport and siting work?

The container arrives as a finished module, whole or in sections, depending on its size. We carry it on a low-loader or on a trailer for oversized loads. Before delivery, level compacted ground and access for the unloading equipment stay on your side.

How do I prepare the ground for the container?

The ground has to be hard, even and level. Three solutions work: a concrete slab, paving blocks or foundation blocks. Level is not a nice-to-have: the frame and the profiles are straight, so on uneven ground the doors and windows stop closing properly, and the air conditioning manufacturer will not honour the warranty, because the condensate needs a fall.

Who unloads the container, and with what?

We do. The building arrives on our lorry with a crane and we set it down in place with that same crane. You do not order a crane, bring in a crew or coordinate subcontractors. Access for a lorry is what is needed, we take care of the rest.

What area do you deliver to?

We deliver containers across Poland and to other European countries. Transport and setting the building down on prepared ground are on us.

Permits and paperwork

Do I need planning permission for a container?

Rules on building permission differ by country and often by locality, so check what applies where the building is to stand. We build to the dimensions you give us and we do not handle the paperwork: where an architectural design is required, you order it from an architect and we build to it. In Poland a building up to 35 m² of footprint goes on a notification rather than a permit, and it must not be permanently fixed to the ground, so we stand it on blocks.

Warranty and use

What warranty comes with the container?

We give a two-year warranty on the structure, in writing. We send the document after every order and you do not have to ask for it.

Do the materials have certificates and approvals?

Yes. The two main materials, the sandwich panel and the doors and windows, have certificates and approvals.

For the documents for a particular model or a particular project, write to us.

How do I look after a sandwich panel container?

Washing the facade with a mild cleaner from time to time is enough. Abrasive products are out, because they damage the paint coating. Beyond that it is worth keeping an eye on the seals around the windows and doors and on clear drainage.
