Site prep for San Diego
San Diego soils are generally firm and the climate is container-friendly (low humidity, minimal freeze-thaw). Coastal-zone placements within 1000ft of the Pacific need extra attention to door hinges and seals — we spec marine-grade hardware upgrades for any oceanfront delivery.
Military contractor and defense work is a huge SD use case — we carry CSC-current IICL-grade stock with full documentation for Miramar, Coronado, Camp Pendleton, and NAS North Island gate access.
Permits
City of San Diego DSD treats containers as accessory structures. Temporary jobsite placement (under 180 days) is generally fine. Residential ADU use requires a full building permit and an engineered foundation. The California Coastal Commission has jurisdiction within 1000ft of the shoreline — we flag this by ZIP.
