20ft Container Homes for Sale in Kenya
Step into the future of housing with a modern, affordable, and incredibly fast solution: the 20ft container home. At Frontier Containers EA Limited, we specialize in converting 20-foot (6-meter) shipping containers into high-quality, fully-fabricated studio homes, also known as bedsitters.
This is the perfect, all-in-one living space, ideal for a first home, a guest wing, an Airbnb rental, or a spacious personal office. Forget the stress and unpredictable costs of traditional construction; our container homes are built to a fixed price in our yard and delivered to your site, ready for connection.
Why Choose a 20ft Container Home?
The 20ft studio is our most popular and affordable residential unit. It packs a complete living experience into a compact, secure, and stylish package.
- Affordable Home-Ownership: With a price range of Kshs. 550k – 700k, this is one of the most cost-effective ways to own a high-quality, self-contained home in Kenya.
- Speed of Delivery: A traditional bedsitter can take months to build. We fabricate your complete 20ft container home at our facility in as little as 2-3 weeks.
- Complete Bedsitter Layout: This isn’t an empty box. It’s a fully functional home. Our standard layout includes an open-plan living/bedroom area, a kitchenette, and a full private bathroom (with shower, toilet, and sink).
- Fully Insulated: We solve the biggest concern about container living. Our homes are fully insulated (walls and ceiling) to ensure they are cool and comfortable, even in the hottest Kenyan weather.
- A Movable Asset: Your home is not tied to the land. If you rent your plot or decide to move, your entire home can be lifted by our crane trucks and relocated, protecting your investment.
What is Included in Our 20ft Container Homes?
This price range covers a fully-finished, move-in-ready studio home. Our standard fabrication package includes:
- The Container: One 20-Foot (6m L x 2.4m W x 2.6m H) container. We prioritize sourcing Food-Grade containers, which are safer for living as they have never carried harsh chemicals.
- Full Insulation: High-quality thermal insulation for the walls and ceiling to ensure comfortable all-day living.
- Interior Finishing: Smooth, professional interior walls and ceiling (using gypsum or MDF boards) and a choice of durable flooring (e.g., ceramic tiles or vinyl).
- Complete Bathroom: A private, partitioned bathroom with a shower, modern toilet, and a wash-hand basin, fully plumbed.
- Kitchenette: A dedicated kitchen area with a sink, tap, and space for your cooker and fridge.
- Electricals: Full professional electrical wiring, including a consumer unit (fuse box), light fittings, and power sockets.
- Doors & Windows: A secure, high-quality main door and large windows (often sliding) for excellent natural light and ventilation.
- Painting: Professional painting of the interior and exterior in your choice of colors.
Estimated Price Range (Fully Fabricated): Kshs. 550,000 – 700,000
(Final price depends on your specific choice of finishes, such as kitchen cabinets, tile quality, and any custom design requests. Transport and site foundation are separate costs.)

- We INSIST on Food-Grade: We make a special effort to source FOOD-GRADE containers for all our residential builds. This is a critical safety step to ensure your home has never been contaminated with industrial chemicals.
- Climate-Smart Design: We understand the Kenyan climate. Our homes are designed with insulation and cross-ventilation in mind, ensuring they are comfortable year-round.
- Transparent Pricing: We provide a clear, itemized quote. The price we agree on is the price you pay for the fabrication. No surprises.
- Safe Delivery: We use our own fleet of modern crane trucks to ensure your finished home is transported and placed on your site safely and professionally.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a 20ft container home (bedsitter) cost in Kenya?
A fully fabricated 20ft container home (bedsitter/studio) typically costs between Kshs. 550,000 and Kshs. 700,000. The final price depends on the quality of interior finishes you choose.
2. Are container homes too hot in Kenya?
No. This is a common myth. A properly fabricated container home from Frontier Containers is fully insulated with high-quality materials on the walls and ceiling. This, combined with large windows for ventilation, makes the home cool and comfortable.
3. What is included in the Kshs. 550k – 700k price?
This price includes the complete fabrication of the home: the container, insulation, partitioning, flooring, full electricals, complete plumbing (for bathroom and kitchen), doors, windows, and painting.
4. What other costs do I need to budget for?
The price does not include these three items:
1. Transport: The cost of delivering the finished home to your site via our crane truck.
2. Site Preparation: You must prepare a level, stable foundation for the container. This can be a simple concrete slab or “piers” (blocks) at the corners.
3. Utility Connections: The cost of connecting the home to your local power, water supply, and sewer/septic tank.
5. How long does it take to get my 20ft home?
The fabrication process at our yard is incredibly fast, typically taking only 2 to 3 weeks. Delivery and installation on your prepared site take just one day.
6. Do I need a permit from the county for a container home?
In most cases, yes. Container homes are often classified as semi-permanent structures, but regulations vary by county. You must check with your local County Government offices for their specific rules and to get the necessary permits.
7. Is a 20ft container home cheaper than building a bedsitter?
Yes. In most cases, it is significantly cheaper and much faster than building a traditional stone bedsitter of the same quality. The price is also fixed, so you avoid the rising costs of materials and labor that plague normal construction.
8. Can I move my container home later?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages is portability. If you move, your container home can be lifted by a crane and transported to your new location.
9. What is the layout of a 20ft container home?
It’s a studio/bedsitter. This is an open-plan layout that combines the living and sleeping area, plus a self-contained kitchenette and a private, fully-enclosed bathroom.
10. Can you use a 20ft container for an office?
Yes. This exact layout is also perfect for a high-end, self-contained personal office. See our 20ft Container Office page for more commercial options.
