WHY BUY A MAC CONTAINER HOUSE?

MAC is the UK’s leading provider of container homes. We provide container buildings to an impressive list of blue chip clients. Read our testimonials

• MAC tailor-makes and sells individual container houses to your specific requirements. We do not rent container homes
• MAC builds brand new container houses, rather than converts used shipping containers
• A fraction of the price of a traditionally built house. The average UK house price is currently £200,000 (£600,000 in London). See our prices for the cost of a one or two-bedroom container house that is fully compliant with building regulations.
  With the costs of renting, stamp duty, the squeeze on mortgages and general moving expenses so high, modular housing is an imaginative and contemporary alternative
• Delivery takes around 12 weeks, depending on the configuration you choose
• Completely bespoke. You choose the layout, finish, fittings and colour that suit your plans. We have thousands of options on the table and can help you design your perfect space. Explore your options
• No special site preparation required. As is typical of modular housing, container homes are considered ‘non-permanent’ and not requiring full-scale foundations. You will, of course, have to organise services such as drainage, water and electricity to your site and our container homes come with all the necessary fittings in place
• You may not need planning permission, but there are some exceptions. See our guide to planning permission for further details

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Reputation

MAC is an expert, trusted provider. We have been active in the containers business for over 40 years, making container homes and other types of container buildings.

Purpose-built off site

Our modular housing is factory-built and not affected by the unpredictable conditions of a building site. Off-site building means an efficient construction process and fast delivery as our production is not hampered by usual problems affecting building sites such as high winds, rain and ground conditions. In its White Paper on Housing, the government is actively encouraging this efficient approach to construction.

You can join or stack

MAC container housing can be joined or stacked to make the most of your site. We can help with the design and supply of staircases, gangways, doors, windows and all you need to make your scheme work.

You can move it

Homes can be readily moved and relocated. Container house communities can be created fast and moved to new sites to make the most of spare land subject to planning enquiries, which can go on for months or even years. In the meantime, why not populate the land with container homes so that tenants can be comfortably and economically housed?

Accessibility

We can adapt your home for accessibility for the comfort and convenience of elderly or disabled people.

Customer service

We can help with every aspect of your container housing needs. From working with you on the design to bringing your home to life with exactly the layout and finishes you want.

Delivery

We deliver your new container house ready to live in, with all your choices of finish and layout fitted at the factory.
