Production hall with finished units on the line

About CNBoxHome

How we build: one line, one standard, and a finished home before it ever reaches your site.

Our Story

Built in a factory

Every home is assembled on a production line indoors, with frames engineered to fold, ship and deploy anywhere.

Built for harsh sites

From backyards to remote properties and disaster-affected communities, units go where conventional construction cannot.

Built with control

Factory conditions give us more control over quality and lead time than site-built construction allows.

Built to deploy in hours

The heaviest work is finished before a home arrives, so it unfolds and connects to services on site.

Our Story

We are a research, production and sales company working in integrated housing. Our main output is galvanised-steel framed accommodation: double-wing expansion units, standard folding houses, prefabricated container houses and bespoke container builds.

Our production standard is set above the domestic and international standards we are measured against, and the parts we make are sized around sea containers rather than around the drawing board. Frames, floors, plumbing, wiring, doors, windows and bathroom fittings are installed on the line; the roof is waterproofed in two separate layers with corrugated sheet between them.

We control the work in twelve inspection steps before dispatch, including a full electrical test, a live water test and a final folded-and-wrapped check. That is how a unit arrives complete enough to be lived in almost as soon as it is unfolded.

Manufacturing & Quality

Twenty-two production steps, twelve inspection gates, and two waterproof layers on every roof.
