When considering the purchase or transformation of a container, certain questions come up time and again. That’s perfectly normal — this isn’t an everyday purchase, and pricing can vary widely depending on the type of project.
At Conteneurs Experts, we believe that well-informed clients make better decisions. Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions about pricing, services, and technical considerations when it comes to modified containers.
In many cases, yes.
A professionally modified container can save you 30 to 50% compared to an equivalent traditional building — and it also comes with faster delivery times and more flexibility in terms of mobility.
Price differences come down to several factors:
Material and finish quality
Level of customisation
Whether certified professionals are involved (electricians, plumbers, etc.)
Quality of design, client support, and documentation
The company’s positioning (volume-based vs. fully custom)
At Conteneurs Experts, we specialise in high-end, fully customised projects, which explains why our pricing may be higher than some more standardised offers.
Yes, in some cases, for a basic used storage container with no modifications.
However, these containers are typically sold as-is, with no finish work, no guarantee, and may require repairs or adjustments. They’re best suited for unheated storage.
By default, transport is not included in the base prices listed on our website.
However, we are always happy to provide a complete quote including delivery, based on your location. We work with trusted transport partners throughout Quebec.
Yes — as long as it’s properly modified.
To use a container year-round in Quebec’s climate, it must be:
Properly insulated (spray foam or equivalent)
Well-ventilated
Equipped with a suitable heating system
Airtight and watertight
At Conteneurs Experts, this is exactly the type of configuration we design and build regularly.
A well-built container can last 15 to 20 years or more, depending on usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions.
Key factors for long-term performance include:
Steel quality and exterior coating
Proper sealing and weatherproofing
Adequate ventilation
Durable interior finishes
We build our projects with long-term durability in mind — especially for our Canadian winters.
Yes.
We offer a warranty on all work performed and components installed, with details clearly outlined in your quote. In addition, our team remains available after delivery for any questions, adjustments, or service needs.
Having questions is completely normal — especially in a specialised field like container transformation.
At Conteneurs Experts, we’re committed to clear and honest communication every step of the way.
