Container Homes for Sale in Kenya

Welcome to the future of housing in Kenya. At Frontier Containers EA Limited, we design and build modern, affordable, and durable container homes that are ready to live in within weeks, not years.1 Forget the endless costs and delays of traditional construction. We offer a complete, turnkey solution, transforming high-quality shipping containers into stylish, comfortable, and secure living spaces.

From a compact 20ft studio to a spacious 40ft 1-bedroom apartment, our fabricated homes are the perfect solution for a primary residence, a guest wing, a staff house, or a high-return Airbnb rental.

Container homes are rapidly gaining popularity for their unique blend of speed, strength, and value.2

We offer two primary, pre-designed layouts that provide the best value and fastest delivery.

This is the ultimate container home solution, offering a spacious and comfortable 1-bedroom apartment layout. We use a 40ft High Cube (HC) container for this build, which provides an extra foot of ceiling height for a spacious, airy feel.5

This is the most affordable and compact way to own a complete, self-contained home. It’s a modern, all-in-one studio apartment.

Building a home is personal. You need a fabrication partner, not just a container salesman. Here’s why Frontier Containers EA Ltd is the right choice:

The price depends on the size and finishes. At Frontier Containers:

Yes, container homes are legal. However, they are often classified as semi-permanent or temporary structures.8 Regulations vary by county, so you must check with your local County Government for their specific requirements. In many cases, the permitting process is simpler than for a permanent stone house.9

No. This is the most common myth. A raw, uninsulated container is a hot box.10 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 cross-ventilation, keeps the interior cool and comfortable.

Our price covers the complete, finished house. The three external costs you must budget for are:

A container home can last 25-30 years or even longer. They are built from CORTEN steel, which is rust-resistant.13 With a simple coat of paint every 5-7 years (just like any house), your home will remain in excellent condition.

A High Cube container is 1 foot (0.3m) taller than a standard container (2.9m vs 2.6m high). We use HC containers for our 40ft 1-Bedroom Homes because the extra ceiling height is crucial after insulation, making the home feel much more spacious and airy.

Yes. This is a huge advantage. If you move, your home can be disconnected, lifted by a crane, and transported to your new location.

Absolutely. We can join multiple 40ft containers to create spacious 2, 3, or 4-bedroom family homes.14 Contact us with your floor plan ideas for a custom quote.

Yes. We are experts in fabricating all types of container structures, including Container Schools, Container Offices, and Ablution Blocks.

This is a used container that was only ever used to transport non-toxic, dry goods (like bags of coffee or rice). We insist on sourcing these for our homes. This ensures your living space has never been in contact with industrial chemicals or hazardous materials, which is a critical safety factor.
