Container structures — what we offer

TWO WAYS
TO WORK
WITH US.

We offer two distinct services for container builds. Design packages give you professional drawings and CFD analysis you take to a local PE for stamping. CFD-only consultation is for buyers who already have plans but need airflow and thermal analysis before they build.

Design package — Path 2

PROFESSIONAL
DRAWINGS &
CFD ANALYSIS

We produce your floor plans, elevations, section cuts, and a full CFD ventilation and thermal analysis. You take the package to a local licensed PE for the stamp required by your building department. We guide you through finding one.

Engineered floor plan and all 4 elevations
Section cuts and foundation layout
CFD passive airflow simulation report
HVAC placement recommendation
Insulation specification (PCM or spray foam)
2-hour design consultation included
PE referral and brief on how to get stamped
About the PE stamp Most jurisdictions require a licensed Professional Engineer to review and stamp structural drawings before permit approval. Our packages are designed to make that PE review fast and straightforward — typically $800–$1,500 with a local engineer. We help you find one.

CFD consultation — Path 3

AIRFLOW &
THERMAL
ANALYSIS ONLY

Already have plans or a prefab container on order? We simulate how air actually moves through your specific layout — identifying hot spots, poor ventilation zones, and condensation risk before you finish the build. No drawings needed from us.

Passive airflow simulation (k-ω SST, Ansys Fluent)
Temperature and velocity contour maps
Air changes per hour (ACH) calculation
HVAC sizing and placement recommendations
PCM vs spray foam insulation comparison
Written comfort report — summer and winter
1-hour results walkthrough call
Who this is for Buyers working from prefab plans, Etsy plan sets, or existing contractor drawings who want to verify thermal comfort and ventilation before breaking ground. This is a standalone service — no PE required.

Aiken SC & Charlotte NC

WE KNOW
THESE
MARKETS.

Container builds aren't new to us on paper — we know the Aiken County building department, Mecklenburg County zoning, local PE contacts, and contractor networks in both markets. That local knowledge is what makes our packages actually buildable, not just beautiful drawings.

01
Backyard ADU income for homeowners
A container ADU in your backyard can generate $900–$1,400/month in Aiken and $1,300–$1,900/month in Charlotte. Our office pod and ADU packages are specifically sized and designed to clear Aiken County and Mecklenburg County setback requirements.
02
Mobile clinics for underserved SC counties
Rural Aiken County and surrounding CSRA counties have significant healthcare access gaps. A permitted mobile clinic container built to our specifications qualifies for several SC DHEC and federal rural health facility grants.
03
Gym and studio buildouts without commercial leases
Personal trainers, CrossFit coaches, and yoga instructors in both markets are building container studios on their own property or leased land to avoid long-term commercial lease risk. Our gym package is optimized for exactly this use case.
04
Remote work office pods — fastest growing
With Charlotte's tech sector growth and Aiken's proximity to Augusta's CSRA workforce, backyard office pods are the most requested container type we get. Sub-$15,000 to build. No commute. Separate from home distractions. Our most accessible package at $950.
