Container Home Contractor Interview Questionnaire — Free Download

Most contractors have never built a container home. Some won't admit it. The wrong hire on a container build costs tens of thousands of dollars in mistakes, delays, and rework — because conventional construction knowledge doesn't automatically transfer to cutting, framing, and modifying steel containers.

This free questionnaire gives you 25 targeted questions to ask before you sign anything — questions designed to separate contractors who actually know container construction from those who are learning on your dime.

What's included:

• Contractor info section (license number, insurance, workers' comp)
• 6 question categories: container experience, insulation & moisture, permits & compliance, subcontractors, schedule & payment, contract terms
• "Why ask" explanations for every key question — so you know what a good answer looks like
• 5-point rating system across 5 assessment criteria
• 9 walk-away red flags — if you see these, don't sign
• Hire / Follow-up / Pass verdict box

Format: Single-page printable PDF. Bring it to every contractor meeting.
