The short answer
Compare residential container offers line by line, not by photo or headline. Check the module size and layout, the wall and floor build-up, the installations, what transport and unloading include, what you must prepare on site, and the schedule. An offer that leaves these points open is not cheaper; it is only less complete.

Delivery to Germany: an oversize transport
A 3 m wide module exceeds the 2.55 m maximum width for a vehicle and its load in Germany (§ 22 StVO), so it travels as an oversize transport with a permit (§ 29 (3) StVO). Route, permit conditions and unloading influence the transport cost, which is why it is quoted for your address. The site needs access for a truck with a crane and a prepared placement area.

Local requirements come first
Residential use raises questions about building law, utility connections and technical requirements. Clarify them with the local building authority and local specialists before you order; our permit guide shows where to start. Tax questions, for example VAT on a purchase from another EU country, are best clarified with your tax adviser.
