Client Background and Needs

• Client: Vacation investor, also a farm owner.
• Use Case: Suburban vacation home + short-term rentals.
• Main Pain Points:

1. New Zealand’s high labor costs mean a construction period of at least 4-6 months;
2. Suburban transportation is difficult, resulting in high costs for transporting building materials;
3. Local regulations have strict environmental and energy standards, requiring energy-efficient and eco-friendly designs;
4. The client wanted a home that would both meet family needs and attract tourists for short-term rentals.

Product Matching Process

The client ultimately chose the luxury expandable container house and customized it to meet their specific needs:

1. Easy Transportation: Designed using standard shipping containers, it can be shipped from China to the Port of Auckland and then trucked to the farm.
2. Quick Installation: The house features a foldable and expandable structure, allowing it to be erected in just two days upon arrival.
3. High-End Configuration: A combination of 20-foot and 40-foot expandable container houses was selected to meet different space requirements.
4. Environmental Protection and Insulation: Insulation was added to the walls, and the doors and windows were upgraded to meet New Zealand’s rainy, cold climate and environmental standards.

The client was most concerned about the price and longevity of the folding container houses. Comparing them with traditional construction, he found that this solution not only saved at least 40% in costs but also significantly shortened the construction time.
