L-Size Converted Shipping Container
About This Home
The L-Size Converted Shipping Container from KC Modular Buildings is a 40ft x 8ft (29.7 m²) unit fully converted and insulated for habitation, with marine-grade steel construction throughout. It is available in residential, office, or commercial configurations, and the interior layout can be tailored at order stage. Kitchen and bathroom facilities, climate control, and additional windows are all optional extras.
Installation typically takes 8 to 12 weeks with minimal site preparation required. The unit can be stacked, giving it genuine scalability for those who expect to need more space later. At £43,250, it is one of the more accessible price points in the converted container market for a fully finished, regulation-compliant unit.
