This answer varies by state & type of container home purchased from us (standard vs. custom). Given the straightforward nature of installing our plug-and-play container homes, it is much more cost-effective to have your local general contractor do it on-site. A local GC will have more relationships with reputable subcontractors (ie. electricians, plumbers) in your area as well. Also, we do not currently hold a general contractor's license in all 50 states - adding another barrier to us performing the installs. So, while we do not typically install the container homes ourselves, we make it a priority to work closely with your general contractor so they are comfortable with the process and the installation is performed smoothly. With that said, we are happy to send a project manager to the site when the container is delivered and installed to add an extra layer of assurance if the customer requests it. Our list of preferred GC's gets longer every day, so just ask us if we have one near your area that we can recommend to you. We will sometimes install the container homes ourselves for large custom projects.
