1. Site and layout
Measure access, orientation, ground, services, drainage and required usable area.
Build & convert
From steel shell to working space
Plan structure, heat control, services, finish, transport and site installation as one complete project.
2. Conversion scope
Define openings, reinforcement, insulation, ventilation, electrical, plumbing and finish.
3. Delivery and handover
Price transport, crane, foundations, installation, testing and exclusions clearly.
Conversion levels
Choose exactly how far the build should go
A clear scope prevents different suppliers from pricing different products under the same project name.
Prepared shell
Inspected container, repairs, cleaning and surface preparation.
Weather-tight conversion
Structural openings, doors, windows, reinforcement and external protection.
Service-ready space
Insulation, lining, electrical, plumbing, ventilation and AC preparation.
Turnkey fit-out
Flooring, joinery, fixtures, equipment, branding, testing and handover.
Sri Lankan climate
Design the heat and moisture out early
Comfort comes from a joined-up envelope and services strategy, not simply adding an air conditioner after the fit-out.
Solar heat
Use orientation, shade, roof protection and suitable exterior finishes.
Ventilation
Plan natural and mechanical airflow around occupancy and equipment.
Condensation
Coordinate insulation, vapour control, ventilation and cold surfaces.
Electrical load
Size supply, distribution and cooling loads for the completed use.
Corrosion
Match preparation and coating systems to exposure and maintenance.
Maintenance access
Keep roofs, drains, equipment and service routes inspectable.
Popular build paths
Start with the use, then design the container
Project control
Keep the quotation comparable
Ask every bidder to respond to the same written scope. That makes exclusions and quality differences easier to see.
