Custom fabrication

Forged container builds for work, retail, leisure, and land.

A custom container starts with a strong steel shell, then becomes a finished space with the right openings, insulation, services, colour, interior, finish, and delivery plan, with builds coordinated from Wakefield, West Yorkshire for customers nationwide.

Build specification

Every custom build needs a clear spec.

The faster route is to separate the shell, openings, services, finish, colour, and site conditions before pricing the project.

Build timing

Standard builds are typically planned around 4 weeks from deposit. More complex custom work is scheduled around the confirmed specification.

Price factors

What affects the quote.

Every fabrication slot starts with the same practical checks. The final price depends on the shell, finish, services, and delivery plan, not just the container size.

Shell and size

The base unit, condition, height, layout, and footprint shape the starting point.

Openings and glazing

Doors, windows, hatches, shutters, and wide glazing change the structure and finish.

Insulation and services

Insulation, lining, electrics, lighting, heat, ventilation, and plumbing all affect the build.

Interior specification

Flooring, walls, counters, seating, appliances, storage, and fixtures are priced around the intended use.

Colour and exterior finish

Paint, cladding, signage, brand colours, and exterior details change the final look and cost.

Delivery and access

Postcode, access, ground conditions, offload route, and placement details are checked before final pricing.
