Steelblox Review
At the time of our last update (April 2024) Steelblox has closed no longer operates as a shipping container home builder.
Steelblox is a prefab and modular home company based out of Lompoc, California. Using recycled shipping containers, Steelblox creates modern, modular homes in both pre-engineered and custom layouts. From an aesthetic standpoint, their homes do not have the same appearance as most container-based homes. Rather, all four of their pre-designed homes have a modern design aesthetic with large windows, and wood or metal facades. It is also worth noting that buyers are not limited to the pre-designed models, as Steelblox will create fully-custom homes in addition to commercial modular structures.
For the finishing and installation of your home, Steelblox is a general contractor meaning that they can assist with site work and laying a foundation if you are located nearby to their Lompoc, CA headquarters. In other situations, particularly projects located far away from their Lompoc, CA headquarters, Steelblox will work with local general contractors for sitework and instillation. It is worth noting that the modules are delivered around 95% finished meaning that that most of the work is largely completed off-site, leaving little work for a local contractor. Pre-designed homes from Steelblox also include optional furniture and appliance packages as well as standard finishes, though buyers may elect to customize certain elements of their home’s finishes.
Strengths:
You live nearby to their Lompoc, CA headquarters and want an all-in-one company (designer, manufacturer, general contractor)
You are looking for a modern home with a high degree of off-site finishes
Reasons they might not be for you:
Their designs do not meet your aesthetic preferences
They homes are outside of your price range
