Customization Requirements of the Irish Client
A client living in the outskirts of Cork, Ireland, contacted us, hoping to build an independent gym for his family in the backyard. He clearly requested a container foldable house, which was required to be rapidly deployed, without damaging the garden landscape, and capable of withstanding the local rainy climate. Traditional house extensions are not only cumbersome in approval and high in cost, but also take a long construction period, while our portable expandable house provides an optimal alternative solution.
3 Reasons for Choosing Portable Expandable House
The client ultimately decided to purchase our product among numerous options, mainly based on the following considerations:
- Instant Space and Functionality: After arriving at the site, the product can be quickly unfolded into a fully functional room within one to two days and put into use immediately, solving the pain point of time-consuming traditional construction.
- Excellent Cost-Effectiveness: Compared with the high local labor and construction costs in Ireland, this expanding container house offers a one-stop, fixed-price solution including interior decoration.
- Durability Against Climate: The main frame of the house is made of high-strength Q235 steel strip, and the wall panels are thermal-insulated and moisture-proof EPS sandwich panels. Its airtightness and structural strength are fully capable of adapting to Ireland’s humid and windy maritime climate.
From Fold Out Container House to the Ideal Gym
We maintained close communication with the client and carried out in-depth customization for its use as a gym:
- Layout Planning: We designed a two-bedroom layout for him, but transformed one bedroom into an equipment area and the other into a rest/change room, forming a spacious fitness space.
- Interior Upgrades: The floor was upgraded to wear-resistant and easy-to-clean lock-and-fold flooring, and the load-bearing structure of some areas was additionally reinforced to accommodate heavy fitness equipment.
- Exterior and Climate Adaptation: A sloped roof was specially installed to facilitate drainage, and the windows were upgraded to thermal break aluminum windows with better heat insulation performance, ensuring a dry and comfortable environment inside the gym.
The Cross-Ocean Journey of Portable Expandable House
The delivery of this product is a standard international logistics case:
- Factory State: The house was fully decorated in the factory, folded and locked in the form of a fold out container house, with a volume only one-third of the original size.
- International Transportation: The folded house was shipped as a standard freight unit from Chinese ports to the Port of Dublin, Ireland, with an efficient and cost-controllable transportation process.
- On-Site Installation: After the goods were delivered to the client’s address, the house was unfolded, leveled, and connected to the pre-installed circuit interfaces in the backyard. The whole process was fast and had minimal impact on the site.
Life Improvement Brought by Portable Expandable House
After the completion of the project, the client was very satisfied with the final result. This customized portable expandable house met his needs for exercising at home, saving the commute time to commercial gyms. The client particularly praised the workmanship quality and sound insulation effect of the house, stating that even when doing jumping exercises indoors, it would not cause excessive disturbance to the main house. This container foldable house is not only a gym, but also a private space that improves the quality of his family life.
