A 40FT expandable house for an Ireland customer completed its pre-shipment inspection at our factory before packing and container loading. This real project record shows how Zhengzhou Vision checks an export-ready expandable container house against the approved order rather than relying only on a final exterior view.
The inspection covers the exterior panels, entrance and locks, internal finishes, folding-section transitions, kitchen, bathroom, doors, windows, plumbing connections and electrical points. Any visible issue is recorded for correction before the final release for shipment to Ireland.

Why Pre-Shipment Inspection Matters for an Ireland Expandable House Project
An expandable house is manufactured and finished at the factory, then folded for transport and reopened at the destination. Buyers therefore need more than a general appearance check. Door and window operation, folding joints, installed fixtures, electrical outlets and visible plumbing connections should be reviewed before the unit is packed.
For this Ireland order, the inspection team followed the completed house room by room. The process created a visual record of the unit and gave the production team an opportunity to correct visible issues before export preparation.
1. Exterior Panels, Entrance Frame and Door Lock Check
The walkthrough started outside the house. The team checked the exterior wall panels, entrance frame, door leaves, handles and locks. Panel surfaces and the general alignment around the entrance were reviewed for visible damage or uneven fitting.
2. Interior Wall, Flooring and Folding-Joint Inspection
Inside the 40FT expandable house, the inspector reviewed wall finishes, flooring and room circulation. Particular attention was given to the transitions between the folding sections because these areas are connected, sealed and finished during installation.
The inspection also covered panel joints, corners, trims and visible cable outlets. This helps identify finishing work that should be completed while the unit is still accessible in the factory.
3. Kitchen Cabinet, Sink and Connection Check
The kitchen inspection covered the countertop, sink, cabinet doors, drawers, sockets and visible plumbing connections. Moving parts were opened and closed, while work surfaces and installed components were checked before protective materials were secured for transport.
4. Internal Doors, Windows, Handles and Seals
Internal doors and windows were operated during the walkthrough. The inspector checked handles, closing action, frame alignment, seals and visible surfaces. These functional checks are important because adjustments are easier to complete before the folding house is packed and loaded.
5. Bathroom, Ventilation, Plumbing and Electrical Points
The bathroom inspection included the shower area, internal door, wall panels, fixtures, ventilation, visible water connections and electrical points. The team also reviewed corner finishing and areas that must remain protected during folding and transportation.
6. Final Walkthrough Before Packing for Ireland
After the detailed inspection, the team completed a final walkthrough of the entire unit. Items requiring attention were recorded and returned to the relevant production team. The house is released for packing only after the approved configuration and visible finish have been confirmed.
