In prefabricated container house projects, many clients focus on product configuration and price, easily overlooking an equally important stage—the preparation work before the goods arrive on site. In fact, the adequacy of this preparation directly impacts subsequent unloading and installation efficiency, as well as the overall project schedule. The following key points are recommended for clients to plan ahead:
I. Site Preparation
Before the container house arrives, ensure the installation site is prepared. The ground should be flat, firm, and have basic load-bearing capacity to prevent subsidence or water accumulation. Depending on the project, concrete or strip foundations can be prepared in advance to facilitate rapid installation. Simultaneously, adequate access roads should be provided to ensure smooth entry and exit for transport vehicles and hoisting equipment.
II. Water, Electricity, and Supporting Facilities Planning
It is recommended to complete the planning of basic supporting facilities such as water, electricity, and drainage during transportation. This includes confirming the location of power access points, voltage requirements, and the direction of water supply and drainage interfaces with the supplier in advance to avoid secondary modifications due to incompatible interfaces after the container house arrives on site. If the project involves air conditioning, bathroom fixtures, or office equipment, corresponding conditions should be reserved in advance.
III. Unloading and Installation Arrangements
Clients need to confirm the unloading method and installation plan in advance, such as whether cranes, forklifts, or manual assistance are required. Based on the size, weight, and quantity of the container houses, equipment and personnel should be rationally arranged, and the timeline should be coordinated with the local installation team to ensure that installation can begin immediately upon arrival of the goods, reducing waiting time and additional costs.
IV. Relevant Procedures and On-site Management
For overseas or cross-regional projects, customs clearance documents, construction permits, and relevant local approvals must be prepared in advance. Simultaneously, a site manager should be assigned to coordinate construction, safety, and progress management to help ensure the orderly progress of the entire process.
Conclusion
The advantages of prefabricated container houses lie in their efficiency and modularity, but truly achieving "speed" requires meticulous preparation in advance. By preparing the site, water and electricity, installation, and management in advance, not only can container houses be put into use quickly, but their value in terms of schedule control and cost management can also be maximized.
