Why CHDD

The steel home you were actually searching for.

People search for “container homes” because they want a strong, efficient, transportable way to build. We keep those benefits, then remove the compromise of starting with a used freight box.

Compare container and modular construction

Purpose-built steel structure

Designed around residential loads, openings and performance—not a previous life at sea.

Comfort specified in

Double glazing, insulation strategy and cement flooring create a stronger starting specification.

Designed for the site

Wind, bushfire, access and approval requirements are considered against the actual location.

Made to move

Transport dimensions, access and cranage are planned as part of the building system.
