Quick answer: Every container classroom is quoted to the required capacity, layout, finishes and site. We first confirm whether you need a 20ft resource room, a standard 40ft classroom, a computer lab or a multi-unit school block, then provide a written scope and project-specific quote.
For a school, an NGO or a training centre, a container classroom means a proper learning space in weeks rather than a whole term of block work, at a price fixed before work starts. Here is what shapes the cost.
Why schools choose containers
Speed, a predictable price, and the ability to add or move units as enrolment changes. You can open a classroom this term, not next year.
What drives the cost
| Element | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The container shell | Size, condition and availability affect the final quote |
| Insulation | Non-negotiable, it keeps the steel's heat out so the room is usable |
| Lighting and power | Points for lights, fans and equipment |
| Flooring and a writing wall | Hardwearing floor, whiteboard-ready wall |
| Security | Lockable doors and windows |
| Delivery | Distance from the Nairobi yard |
Typical configurations
- 40ft classroom: a full standard class group
- 20ft resource room: office, library or store
- Multi-unit block: several classrooms joined or stacked
- Computer or training lab: wired and secured for equipment
Won't a metal classroom be too hot?
Not when it is insulated, which is standard for ours. Insulated walls and ceiling plus cross-ventilation keep it comfortable through the school day, the same physics we explain in do container homes get hot.
What a quote includes
A finished, insulated, wired and fitted classroom, delivered and installed. It excludes furniture, county fees and any solar or generator. We price each build to your class size and site.
