In recent years, there has been a growing trend in Kenya’s construction industry of using prefabricated shipping containers as building materials. These containers are being repurposed into homes, offices, shops, and even hotels, providing an affordable and sustainable solution to the country’s housing shortage. We, ISM Containers, have been at the forefront of this venture and this article will provide insight into the booming trend of prefabricated container construction in Kenya and shed light on the innovative solutions being developed.
One of the major advantages is the speed of construction. Containers are typically manufactured off-site and then transported to the building site for assembly. Builders can work simultaneously on multiple parts of the building, which can speed up the construction process significantly. Containers are pre-fabricated in a factory, and the work can be done without any weather-related interruptions, which can further expedite the construction process. ISM Containers offers a wide range of pre-fabricated container designs, including homes, offices, retail shops, and hotels. These designs can be customized to fit the client’s specific needs, and the containers are pre-built in the company’s factory, which helps to reduce the time required for on-site assembly. The speed in construction also ensures that you have
Flexibility is another important reason to consider using prefabricated containers when building, as they offer greater versatility in terms of design and layout. ISM Containers has been a key player in this market, providing high-quality and customized container structures for a wide range of building projects in Kenya. Builders can create unique structures by combining different container sizes, shapes, and configurations. The containers can be arranged in different configurations to create multi-storey buildings, and they can be outfitted with insulation, ventilation, and other systems to create comfortable and livable spaces. Furthermore, the flexibility of prefabricated containers makes them suitable for a wide range of building projects, including homes, offices, retail shops, hotels, and even schools.
Sustainability and durability are two more reasons to consider using prefabricated containers when building, compared to traditional construction methods. Prefabricated containers are typically made from high-quality steel, which is a durable and strong material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. This durability can result in a longer lifespan for the building, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Additionally, the steel used in prefabricated containers can be recycled, making them a more sustainable choice. ISM Containers has been at the forefront of promoting sustainable and durable building solutions. We have also developed innovative insulation and ventilation systems that reduce energy consumption, making the buildings more environmentally friendly and sustainable. They are designed to last for decades, with minimal maintenance required
