Our Process
Step 1: Determine Location and Feasibility
Step 2: Select a Floor Plan
Here are a few simple things you need to consider when selecting a floor plan:
- What is your budget
- How many bedroom(s)
- How many bath(s)
- Square footage (space you need)
- Upgrades you may want to explore
- Modifications you may request
- Your ideal time frame
Once a floor plan is selected, a CCL team member will collaborate with you on pricing based on state/local requirements. We will also work on a bulk order discount based on the number of containers you are planning to order.
Step 3: Select a General Contractor
Now that you have the property and floor plan selected, it is time to research some general contractors in your area. We would recommend contacting two to three and requesting bids to complete the work. It is important to ask for some references for past work they have completed and what their availability is to complete the job. If the general contractor asks questions you are not familiar with or requests additional documentation, we are here to help.
Below is a list of things in which you might need your contractor’s help.
Step 4: Production
- After you have selected your floor plan, upgrades, and customizations, we will send a production contract for you to review and sign. Once the contract and deposit payment has been received, we will place your order on our build schedule. Please keep in mind that all selections/finishes must be finalized before we place any order in the production schedule. Once this step is completed, we can share information with your general contractor regarding your project.
- After step one is completed, sit back, and let us take care of the rest. Each project is completed in a professional and timely manner. We will provide progress updates during construction so you can follow the journey. If it is possible, we would love to schedule a time for you to visit our factory during the construction of your project so you can see it for yourself as we build it.
- The lead time will be determined once you have selected your floor plan. It will vary depending on our current orders in the queue and the size of your project.
Step 5: Delivery & Install
Our delivery process is set up to make your life hassle free. We are the build team and the installation team supplying the truck, trailer, and tools to get your project delivered and installed safely. With each commercial project we collaborate with the owner/general contractor to arrange the delivery of each container to the jobsite. We will also coordinate the crane for placement. Once the containers are installed, our team will work to complete the items that we committed to finishing. Our goal is a completed project so when we leave it will be ready for inspection. Please keep in mind every project is a little different on who completes certain items which is why CCL will coordinate with the owner/general contractor on the front end to determine who will be responsible for those certain items.
