Premier Container Group is a custom container home builder located just East of Dallas TX. We specialize in taking shipping containers and converting them into just about anything imaginable. Some of our builds include:
EcoFlow portable power stations are now an option for providing power to our container homes. They can be used for total 'off-grid' power or for 'back-up' power in the event of a power outage.
EcoFlow portable power stations come in a wide variety of sizes and power supply capabilities. We can totally power your container home with whatever best fits your electrical needs.
By installing the EcoFlow power stations, we can completely power your container home without ever having to be tied to the grid. We also have the capability to pre-wire and install solar panels that will completely re-charge your power station even while in use.
EcoFlow power stations can be re-charged from 0-80% in 2 hours using AC power or from 0-80% in 3.5 hours using solar panels.
These power stations can be added to existing breaker panels for supplemental power to your home, or as stand alone power supplies.

Please reach out to: Cody@PCGroupTX.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We do not have a specific price set on our container builds. Each build is different, therefore the price for each build is different.
Additional costs to consider are design, upgrades, transport/delivery, crane work and onsite installation to your prepared foundation. Land prep, grading, leveling and site-prep is the responsibility of the customer, prior to delivery of the finished container.
Yes, you do need your own land and site-prep done prior to delivery of your finished container. Once your container is complete, we will arrange for delivery to your location. 'Unrestricted land' is generally preferred because there are no 'restrictions' as to what you can do with your land.
You will need to have your local electric provider run a main power source near the location of the container home. They often will install a 'temp-pole' or similar line near the location you plan on placing your container. We connect the electrical components to a standard breaker panel. Once it is delivered, you will need to have a qualified electrician come out and run the main power wire from the 'temp-pole' to the breaker panel. Once that is complete, your container is fully functional. The same goes for septic or sewer. Our container homes come with all drain lines easily accessibly for a qualified plumber to make drain connections once the container home reaches your site. These connections may be run to any sewer or septic systems. Water supply will also depend on your location. We will install a main water inlet to attach your water supply to the home. We can install the Eco-Flow units to your container if you prefer a totally 'off-grid' power option.
A solid concrete foundation that runs the length of the container is not necessary, unless that is what you prefer. A container is designed to sit on the outermost four corners known as the casters. We typically suggest having concrete pads poured on each end, or helical piers installed at your location prior to delivery. (See dropdown menu at the top of our site for more info on these.) For more information on Helical Piles, click the link below:
We use closed-cell spray foam insulation on all of our container builds. Closed-cell spray foam has an 'R-value' of R-7 per inch. Spray foam provides a higher R-Value than standard fiberglass or sheeps wool insulation. In addition, when you air condition a shipping container, the temperature difference between the interior and exterior causes the inside walls to 'sweat.' Closed-cell spray foam eliminates this issue because is applied directly to the corrugated metal walls of the container creating a complete vapor/moisture barrier.
We install tankless water heaters inside of our container homes. These can be electric or propane, depending on your needs. Tankless water heaters are extremely energy efficient and provide endless hot water to your home. Tankless water heaters are very compact and can generally fit under a kitchen sink or inside of a bathroom vanity.
If you don't see a modification you're looking for feel free to reach out to us.
Yes. If you are looking to purchase a container without any modifications, or just need a new or used container of any size, contact our partner Mark with "The Right Path Container Sales" https://therightpathcontainersales.com/
We use mini-split air conditioners with built in heat pumps. Mini splits come in a variety of sizes ad BTUs, and can be run using a 110v or 220v outlet. The exterior compressor unit is very small and can be mounted to the side of the container, or a pad next to the container. The inside "air-handler" is a small wall-mounted unit that is placed near the ceiling on the interior. These units are very energy efficient and can be controlled with a remote control as well as with your smart phone. To see photos of the mini splits, please click the tab at the top of the page labeled "construction process" and then "Mini Split AC/Heat."

Premier Container Group is a container home builder that specializes in container home customization. Shipping Container homes can be an excellent alternative to traditional housing for a number of reasons. If you are struggling to find affordable housing, are interested in taking the plunge into tiny house living, or you are needing a flexible housing option, container living may be the solution you are looking for! Homes made from shipping containers are growing in popularity and come with some amazing benefits that may not be afforded through a conventional housing situation.
INEXPENSIVE
While you may not think you can afford to own anything and will always be renting, building a house from shipping containers may be much more affordable than you ever imagined. Shipping containers can be purchased with a price range typically being 3k-9k per container, depending on the size. This price does fluctuate due to market conditions. We can locate and purchase the container(s) needed for your build, or you can purchase your own for us to customize. Once the container is purchased, the rest of the cost is determined by the finish-outs you choose for the interior. Most containers can be built and completely finished out for a fraction of what you would spend on a 'typical' home build.
STRONG AND DURABLE
Shipping containers are inherently strong. They are manufactured to be tough and durable. Shipping containers are designed to carry cargo though extreme weather both on land and at sea. At sea they may be subjected to 100 mph winds or 50-foot waves, there’s a good chance if the container can survive that, then it will be ok through any storms your home might endure! This durability is decreased as steel is removed for doors and windows, but we reinforce those cut-outs to add that durability back in. There is a balancing act in the design between adding glass windows and doors while still maintaining the highest structural integrity possible. You can also find shipping container home plans that allow you to position windows and doors behind the original shipping container doors. This allows you to keep the original structural integrity and durability that might have drawn you to a container house. With this type of design you also retain the ability to lock the original doors when you leave the home, which is an appealing aspect if this is going to be a secondary home that will be vacant from time to time.
Even without bolting the shipping containers down they can withstand high winds and storms. Unsecured and standing alone, they can handle winds of up to 100 mph. The safety and security of the container home is amplified further when you fasten the home to a foundation or helical pier, properly secured they can take wind speeds of up to 175 mph. So, if you live in an area with extreme weather, such as hurricanes or tornadoes, you can rest assured that your container home is built to withstand the storm.
RESISTANT TO PESTS
Because the main building material on a converted shipping container is the steel of the container they are highly resistant to bugs and pests. For example, even if you have wood floors or clad the exterior of your shipping container house, because the internal frame of the building is made from steel there is less to worry about with termites. Termites could damage the exterior siding or any interior finishes, but they would not be able to damage the structural integrity of your home, like they can do with a home built with conventional methods.
FINANCIAL AND PHYSICAL FREEDOM
There are a number of different ways that storage container homes provide freedom.
Financial Freedom: What would your life look like if you didn’t have a mortgage, or even a rent payment? With the lower price point capability of container homes you might have the financial freedom to purchase a home, something that you might not have thought possible with a traditional home. The lower price also provides the opportunity to be mortgage free much quicker than possible with the higher price tag that comes with a conventional house and mortgage. When you’re mortgage free you have the flexibility to truly live the life you want to live, not focus on paying bills.
Physical Freedom: Just as a tiny house on wheels is mobile, so is a container home! It takes a bit more logistical legwork to make it happen, but you can move your shipping container home all around the country, and even the world! As long as you have a plot of land and hookups for utilities you have a place to put your home!
BUILD TIME
Homes made from shipping containers can be built and completed very quickly, which can be a huge benefit and reason to choose a container home. You could potentially have a finished shipping container home within 8 weeks! Building a traditional home can take up to 4-6 months. If you are looking for a housing solution quicker than that, container living may be the answer you are looking for!
With a container home the exterior structure of the home is already built, the roof, walls, and ceiling are completed; all you have to add are the interior details, which can take a considerable amount of time off of the building process. Container homes can also be built off-site. This decreases build time because there is no travel to and from the building site.
OFF-GRID LIVING
Container homes are fully capable of being completely self sufficient by using solar panels for energy, as well as water storage/filtration for your water and plumbing. If you are looking for a completely 'off-grid' home, container home living might be just what you're looking for!
We follow local and state-level building code, as well as the 'Texas Minimum Construction Standard' to ensure our homes are safe and meet all code requirements. Each member of our crew holds either a state license or state certification in their respective field of service.
