Built fromsteel.Designed for you.
We transform shipping containers into bespoke offices, homes, storage units, and commercial spaces.
BUILT ON STEEL. DRIVEN BY PURPOSE.
Classic Container Fabricators Kenya was founded with a single mission: to deliver world-class container conversions that combine structural integrity with thoughtful design. From our Nairobi workshop, we serve clients across Kenya and East Africa.
Every unit we build undergoes rigorous quality checks — from the structural welds to the finishing paint. We source only verified shipping containers and use premium materials to ensure each conversion stands the test of time and climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a container house cost in Kenya?
Pricing depends on size and finish level. A single used shipping container starts from KES 150,000, while a fully fitted accommodation unit — insulated, wired, plumbed and finished — starts from KES 800,000. Request a free quote and we'll price your exact configuration.
Is a container house cheaper than a traditional house in Kenya?
Generally yes, for comparable finish quality — container builds skip most of the masonry, roofing and foundation work of a traditional build, and fabrication happens off-site in our Nairobi yard, which shortens the project timeline significantly.
Do I need county approval to install a container house in Kenya?
In most counties, yes — a container structure used as a dwelling or place of business typically needs the same approvals as any permanent structure. We can advise on what your specific county requires as part of the consultation.
How long does it take to build a container home or office?
A container office is typically ready in 2–4 weeks. A full accommodation unit takes 4–8 weeks depending on size and finish. Delivery and site installation are scheduled once fabrication is complete.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes — we deliver and install container units across Kenya. Delivery time and cost depend on distance from our Nairobi yard; let us know your location when requesting a quote.
What warranty comes with a container conversion?
Structural fabrication work carries a 1-year warranty. Reefer (refrigerated) units also come with a 1-year warranty on the temperature-control unit, with affordable servicing available after that period.
Can I customize the size and layout of my container home?
Yes — we build studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom configurations, and can combine multiple containers for larger layouts. Share your brief and we'll provide a design concept before fabrication starts.
