ABOUT US

Hi, I am Dan, founder of Hometainer and a licensed builder specialising in modular construction.

I started Hometainer because I saw the potential to create something very different from what most people imagine when they think of a shipping container. With the right design, multiple containers can become spacious, beautifully finished homes, while offering a smarter and more efficient way to build.

Today, we design and build award-winning, council-approved multi container homes across Queensland and New South Wales, with our homes also featured on national television. From initial design and engineering through to approvals, construction, delivery and installation, our team manages the entire process.

Every Hometainer is designed around the people who will live in it. We focus on thoughtful layouts, quality finishes and workmanship, creating homes that are distinctive, comfortable and built for Australian living.

For me, the most rewarding part is seeing an idea that begins on a page become a home our clients are genuinely excited to call their own.
