The Detail

More than a container

A Swift Build home is not a bare container. It is a fully insulated, wired, plumbed and finished living space, engineered to stay comfortable through Nairobi afternoons and cool highland nights alike. You choose the layout and finishes; we fabricate it in our yard, keep you updated with photos at every stage, then deliver and install it on your site.

Delivered in weeks, not months, with milestone payments the whole way, so you are never out of pocket ahead of the work.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I need approval or permits for a container home in Kenya?

In most cases yes, container homes are treated as permanent structures and need county approval, the same as a conventional build. We cover exactly how it works in our guide to container home approvals and permits in Kenya.

Do container homes get hot in the Kenyan sun?

Not when they are insulated properly. Every home is lined with thermal insulation and finished internally, so the steel shell never touches your living space. See our full explainer on whether container homes get hot.

How long will a container home last?

A well-built, maintained container home comfortably lasts decades. We treat every shell against rust and finish it to protect the steel. Read more on how long container homes last.

Can the home be moved later?

Yes. Because it is modular steel, a Swift Build home can be lifted and relocated to a new site if your plans change, something a traditional build can never do.
