The Process

To start the process, Vaanmathi and her team purchase second-hand containers and get to work by repairing and waterproofing them. It is important to evaluate the strength and capacity of the container before beginning any conversion.

Then, the startup formulates a plan and strategy for conversion. 

From visual drawings, looking after vastu requirements to designing the interior and fixing the water and electricity supply, everything is done with a very strategic approach.

What sets Container Care apart from other construction companies is Vaanmathi's in-depth engagement with clients. She connects with them personally and ensures that their needs are met.

Vaanmathi's mission is to make the cost of constructing container houses even more affordable in the future so that she can build a home for every person who approaches her. 

Her innovative approach to building homes has not only made housing more affordable but also more sustainable. By using second-hand containers, she is reducing waste and giving a new lease of life to materials that would have otherwise been discarded.

Container Care's versatility is also a significant advantage. Apart from homes, they can construct site offices, godowns, hospital rooms, and marriage halls. This means that the company is not limited to building residential structures but can also cater to commercial needs.

In conclusion, Vaanmathi's Container Care is an innovative company that is providing affordable housing solutions to people in need. Her extensive knowledge of marine containers and her personal engagement with clients has made her a preferred choice for many people.
