Über dieses Buch
What does a container home in the UK really cost in 2026? Not the £10,000 Instagram fantasy - the real numbers.
This honest, numbers-first guide from Boxbey Academy gives you actual UK prices: real container costs from real depots, real day rates for UK trades, real VAT treatment (the trap that catches more buyers than any other line item), and real groundwork costs for UK soil - from London clay to Pennine rock.
The steel box is only 15-25% of the total cost. This book tells you where the other 75% goes - before you spend it.
Instant download PDF. Written for the UK market with GBP pricing, HMRC VAT guidance and Building Regs references throughout.
