To find a suitable container quotation, compare identical dimensions, insulation, installations and delivery scope; view taxes, transport and crane work separately.

Comparison starts with the same needs
Before comparing container quotations, send both companies the same requirements: purpose, dimensions, room count, installation address and usage period. Production-only and assembly/transport-inclusive figures cannot be compared directly. Record quotation dates and validity for 2026 too.
Prepare a scope table
| Item | Information to check |
|---|---|
| Building package | Dimension, structure and cladding definitions |
| Insulation | Wall, roof and floor layers |
| Installations | Sockets, lighting, water and equipment list |
| Logistics | Transport, crane and site placement |
| Commercial terms | Tax, payment, delivery and warranty scope |
Do not mistake missing items for a price advantage
Price ground preparation, external power or drainage separately if excluded. Request written costs for extra equipment. Access problems discovered on delivery day may change vehicle or lifting plans; sharing address and photos beforehand reduces uncertainty.
Do not decide by the figure alone
Clear product plans, technical documents and delivery responsibilities are valuable too. Maintenance access and after-sales contacts matter for long use. The best quotation meets needs in writing and shows total costs. Select your use type from the catalogue; Ask Profabrik for a quotation with the same scope.
Frequently asked questions
Are quotation prices per square metre sufficient?
No. Even with the same area, wall packages, installations, equipment and delivery scope may differ.
Should I request a VAT-inclusive price?
Explicitly state whether tax is included. Compare total payable amounts on the same basis.
Can transport be calculated later?
It can be calculated, but clarifying this item early according to the address and site conditions is more useful for completing the budget.
