40ft Expandable Container House Specifications

Residential-Style Gable Roof with Deck & Awning

Unlike conventional flat-roof expandable container houses, this 40ft model features a residential-style gable roof combined with an outdoor deck and awning.

The pitched roof gives the house a more traditional residential appearance and provides additional design options for insulation, ventilation and weather protection.

The integrated outdoor deck creates an additional living and entertaining area, while the awning provides shade and weather protection for outdoor use.

• Australian-standard electrical system

Project-specific compliance and building approval requirements may vary by state, territory, site and local authority. Customers should confirm local approval requirements before ordering.

Designed for NCC & 7-Star Energy Efficiency Requirements

The house is designed with energy efficiency in mind, using insulated wall panels, appropriate glazing and a residential-style roof system.

For projects requiring a 7-star NatHERS rating, the final energy performance must be assessed based on the complete building design, site location, climate zone, orientation, glazing, insulation and other project-specific factors.

We can provide relevant factory specifications and technical information to support local assessment and approval.
