Where Do Conteneurs Experts' Prices Fall — and Why?
Introduction
One of the first questions our clients ask is often the simplest:
“How much does it cost?”
And yet, it’s often the hardest to answer on the spot. Why? Because every modified container project is unique — its purpose, materials, level of complexity, and finish all vary. That said, we believe it’s essential to provide clear and realistic price benchmarks to help you make an informed decision.
In this article, you’ll find:
-
Typical price ranges based on different project types
-
What’s included — and what’s not
-
Why our prices are what they are (not the lowest, not the highest — but fair)
Our Typical Price Ranges by Project Type
Below is a realistic estimate of what we typically charge at Conteneurs Experts. These prices include all transformation work, but do not include transport or on-site installation.
| Project Type | Price Range (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Used storage container (20’) | $3,500 – $5,000 |
| Container with basic modifications | $6,000 – $10,000 |
| Custom modular office | $12,000 – $25,000+ |
| Commercial space (food truck, kiosk, boutique) | $25,000 – $60,000+ |
These prices vary depending on:
-
The initial container condition (new vs. used, grade)
-
The level of insulation, electrical work, and interior finishes
-
The degree of customisation (standard, semi-custom, fully custom)

Why Our Prices Are What They Are
At Conteneurs Experts, we’ve made a clear choice: to deliver a well-built, durable, and compliant product — not the cheapest possible version.
That means:
-
We use high-quality, long-lasting materials
-
We work with certified professionals (plumbers, electricians, engineers)
-
We have an in-house team dedicated to technical planning and shop drawings
-
Every project is thoroughly planned and executed with precision
This approach naturally involves higher production costs compared to some competitors — but it also ensures a safer, more reliable, and longer-lasting final result.
Transparency You Can Count On
We understand that investing in a modified container is a significant decision. That’s why we strongly believe in pricing transparency.
Our quotes are detailed, broken down clearly, and tailored to your real needs — no vague estimates, no surprise add-ons.
We don’t offer lowball prices just to win the sale, only to inflate them later. Instead, we aim to give you a fair, stable quote from the start, and earn your trust through clarity and professionalism.
Conclusion
At Conteneurs Experts, our pricing reflects a simple truth:
A professionally modified, durable, and safe container project requires real resources — time, material, and technical expertise.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest.
We’re here to deliver solid, functional, and well-designed solutions at a fair price, aligned with the level of quality you expect — and deserve.
