A container house project is easier to install when the site is prepared at the same time as the factory drawings. The module, foundation points, access route and service connections should be coordinated before production is complete. This reduces avoidable changes during unloading and gives the installation team a shared sequence to follow.
Start with the intended use
List the rooms, occupants, equipment and opening hours first. A family home, worker accommodation unit, project office, classroom or tourism cabin will have different requirements for circulation, bathrooms, kitchen services, storage and outdoor access. The brief should also identify the local climate and any project-specific building requirements.
Prepare a stable support system
The site needs level support points that match the approved layout. Depending on the ground and local engineering advice, this may be a slab, strip foundation, piers or another prepared support system. Confirm the finished levels, drainage direction and space below the module so that water can move away from the building and future maintenance remains practical.
Check delivery and lifting access
Measure the complete route from the public road to the final position. Include turning radii, road width, overhead cables, gates, slopes and the unloading area. If a crane or other lifting equipment is required, reserve a firm setup zone and confirm the lifting radius, working height and sequence with the transport team.
Coordinate utilities before production
Mark the connection points for electricity, water, drainage, ventilation and data. The supplier can then align openings, wet areas, kitchen positions and service routes with the site plan. Local standards still govern final connections, protective devices and inspections, so the project team should confirm them before dispatch.
Use a simple installation sequence
1. Verify the supports
Check dimensions, level and anchor or fixing locations before the truck arrives.
2. Position the module
Follow the lifting plan, place the unit on its supports and inspect alignment before tightening connections.
3. Seal and connect
Complete module joints, weather seals, stairs, terraces and utility connections according to the drawings.
4. Inspect the finished space
Test doors, windows, drainage, lighting, outlets, bathroom fittings and all moving parts before handover.
Plan for future expansion
Leave practical service corridors and access around the first phase if additional container house modules may be added later. A planned extension zone can make it easier to connect bedrooms, offices, classrooms, guest rooms or shared facilities without blocking the original circulation.
How Aokai supports the brief
Aokai develops expandable container houses and connected modular systems for accommodation, tourism, offices, community facilities and permanent living. Share the destination, quantity, preferred layout and site constraints so the factory package can be organized around the project.
