Container houses
Our process is simple, design your container home with us.
NIDO by World Container is the first marketplace in Latin America that allows you to quickly and easily design, customize, and purchase your own micro-home, all from the comfort of your home. Using shipping containers as a base, we transform these spaces into modern, efficient homes fully adapted to your needs.
At World Container, we've simplified the steps and created NIDO, where we create homes from shipping containers—comfortable, affordable, and portable modular spaces that are environmentally friendly and meet high quality and safety standards. Our team will work with you throughout the entire process, from our initial accessibility consultation through the design and engineering of your container or modular home and your site-specific foundations, to the goals we set up to hand you the keys to your new NIDO.

Step 1 - Accessibility Assessment - With or Without Site Visit (1-2 days) ($)
Esta evaluación está diseñada para revisar la información de su propiedad para la logística de camiones, grúas y brindarle una estimación presupuestaria para la propuesta de su casa container, envío, grúa, Instalación in situ y diseño conceptual para avanzar al siguiente paso (paso 2). (El precio de la visita a sitio puede variar según ubicación).
A continuación se muestra una lista de lo que se incluye:
-
Consulta telefónica con su vendedor
-
Revisión de accesibilidad: visita al sitio
-
Cotización formal personalizada del precio total de su casa container. Precio Unitario: $180.000 + IVA
-
Estimación presupuestaria para el envío, trabajos de grúa y montaje en obra.
-
Propuesta de diseño conceptual para pasar al Paso 2
-
Si se requiere un estudio de ruta para los camiones de transporte, este se cotizará por proyecto.
Nota: El pago realizado al inicio por conceptos de cotizaciones, evaluación de accesibilidad y diseño conceptual de su casa container, se devolvera al final de la construcción o se descontará del precio total de su adecuación una vez contrate los servicios de world container para la realización de su casa container.
Step 2 - Conceptual Design (3 - 5 weeks) - $3,500,000 + VAT (single floor) $6,000,000 + VAT (two floors)
Una vez que hayamos completado la evaluación de accesibilidad y se haya comprometido con el diseño conceptual, le proporcionaremos un paquete de diseño 3D que muestra su casa container con la base de su elección en su propiedad.
A continuación se muestra una lista de lo que se incluye:
-
Llamada vía meet con nuestro equipo de diseño
-
Revisar la ubicación, la orientación, el tipo de base a utilizar, el estilo de su casa, el presupuesto real y los objetivos del proyecto.
-
Verificación de zonificación
-
Paquete de renderizado 3D
-
1 revisión incluida
-
Dibujos y propuesta de ingeniería para pasar al Paso 3
(Este paso es opcional solamente si usted quiere un diseño diferente de casa container y si quiere ver la casa container en su sitio de ubicación)
Step 3 - Drawings and Engineering - $7,500,000
Once we've completed the Conceptual Design and you've agreed to the Design and Engineering Proposal we submitted in Step 2, we'll begin preparing your architectural and engineering drawings for your building permit submission. Below is a list of deliverables:
Note: (This step is optional and depends on your location's curation)
Development Permit (DP) Drawing Package
Site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and initial foundation design.
The first draft of his set of architectural drawings.
Some jurisdictions allow this as a Development Permit (planning) approval package, while others require fully designed and approved packages.
Below is a list of what is included:
Analysis of the urban planning regulations
Architectural Design
Structural Design of Confined Walls
Soil analysis (Apique)
Review, preparation, printing and filing of documents with the urban curatorship.
Monitoring of the procedure before the urban curatorship (proceedings)
Step 4 - Submitting Permits
-
Una vez que se completa toda la documentación de arquitectura, ingeniería y certificación, se recopilan todos los dibujos y la documentación adjunta y se pueden enviar para obtener los permisos de construcción a los funcionarios locales de construcción para su revisión y aprobación. (Opcional)
STEP 5 - 60% Payment for Manufacturing and Commencement of Work on Site
The 60% manufacturing down payment is due 75 days prior to the manufacturing start date.
This deposit places the customer in the next available production location and maintains their manufacturing price.
The 60% manufacturing down payment can be made before step 6 to secure a spot on our build schedule and maintain your price.
World Container orders long-term items (HVAC, windows, steel, appliances)
Your local contractor should begin site preparation and foundation work at this time.
Production begins with the restoration and adaptation of the container to its designated construction site.
STEP 6 - 20% Manufacturing Progress Payment - Structural Frame Completed
This 20% manufacturing progress payment is due upon completion of the structural framing/exterior painting, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation of the container or modular home.
STEP 7 - 20% Payment Final Manufacturing Progress
Once the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation is complete, the final 20% of the project fee is due. We complete insulation, drywall, painting, all interior finishes, and assemble the on-site materials needed to connect your container or modular home.
10% of this payment will be held in a separate bank account and released after the client approves the walkthrough following on-site installation, minus any identified deficiencies.
STEP 8 - 100% Payment for shipping, crane and installation
30 days prior to your scheduled shipping date, we will re-quote and provide you with updated shipping, towing, and installation prices.
Payment is due 15 days before the scheduled shipping date.
STEP 9 - Delivery and installation on site
A mandatory site visit by our Project Architect to review the site foundation with your contractor for a fee of $1,500,000
Once we confirm your site is ready to receive your home, we reserve the crane, trucks, and dispatch your container or modular home installation team to your site.
Once on site, your home's installation team coordinates with the crane operator to place the individual modules on the foundation and complete the installation of your container or modular home (approximately 7 days depending on the model of your container or modular home and the scope of work).
The general contractor then connects all on-site utilities to the home once the modules are secured and welded to the foundation.
A final tour is carried out and the keys are handed over to the client.
STEP 10 - Move to your container or modular house
Note: The initial payment for quotes, accessibility assessment, and conceptual design of your container home will be refunded at the end of construction or deducted from the total price of your adaptation once you hire World Container for the construction of your container home.
