Capsule houses and expandable container houses for French campsites, delivered turnkey.

Each model page shows a turnkey price excluding VAT, customs duty included: the unit delivered, set up, connected to the pitch's electricity, water and drainage, and commissioned. It applies to a standard pitch: serviced, accessible to a truck and crane, with an electrical hook-up point no more than 15 m away and water and drainage points no more than 10 m away. Access, ground conditions, the distance to the service points, options and the number of units can change it; any difference found on site is priced by the installer before any work begins. Import VAT on the unit and the installer's VAT on the installation are added, both deductible for a VAT-registered campsite. Your written quote details each part, and the price per unit falls from 2 units.

For a first order of a model, allow four to six months from order to delivery for an expandable container house, five to seven months for a capsule: three to six weeks of approvals (drawings, component lists, reference sample), five to seven weeks of production (11 to 12 for a capsule), inspection and loading, five to six weeks at sea, then customs clearance and delivery. Installation follows delivery. The schedule, date by date, is set out in your quote. To open in April, order an expandable container house in early autumn and a capsule in late summer.

On a duly authorised campsite, in a residential leisure park or in a holiday village classified for light accommodation, an HLL of 35 m² of floor area or less is exempt from any formality. Above that, or in a protected area whatever the size, a prior declaration is required. These formalities are for the operator or the landowner.

Yes to rental operators, including short-term lets, and to gîtes that place their units on a campsite, in a residential leisure park or in a classified holiday village: the rules are the same as for a campsite. If you own a plot in a residential leisure park, write to us and we will look at your project. On private land (a garden, a second home), the unit becomes a new house, subject to building permission (permis de construire) and the rules for detached houses: we do not offer this yet.

Light leisure dwellings (HLL, article R111-37 of the French Planning Code): delivered without wheels or a towbar, they are transportable buildings. A mobile home is a vehicle that keeps its wheels and towbar (article R111-41): mobility, not shape, decides which rules apply.

Fewer than 35 if the site has fewer than 175 pitches, otherwise fewer than 20% of the pitches (article R111-38 of the French Planning Code). This ceiling includes the HLLs already in place: check it before you order, against the campsite's classification order and development permit.

From the first exchange to commissioning, we remain your contact for everything to do with the unit. You receive a single quote that details every part of the turnkey price. We follow production, inspection, transport and delivery, with photos, and give the installer the drawings and instructions. The installation is the responsibility of the partner installer named in the quote: it signs its own contract with you, invoices you for its work and is solely responsible for it. After delivery, we answer for the unit's conformity.

A partner installer named in your quote, an independent and insured company. It unloads the unit by crane, sets it on non-anchored supports following the manufacturer's instructions, expands the Escale 36, connects water, waste water and electricity, inspects the electrics and commissions the unit. Its price is included in our turnkey price; it invoices you directly for this work and is responsible for it. We supply the drawings, diagrams and instructions.

The partner installer's electrician, a qualified professional: the compliance of the installation and, where required, the Consuel certificate are its responsibility. An HLL is usually connected to the campsite's internal network: the formalities are confirmed with the electrician who connects it and inspects the installation before it is energised.

The components that fall under CE marking carry their own. We do not claim CE marking for the complete unit. The supporting documents available for each model are listed in the quote.

Importing any product containing asbestos is banned in France (decree no. 96-1133). We require every manufacturer to provide an analysis report from an accredited laboratory before any order.

No, if your business is registered for VAT in France: since 1 January 2022, the reverse charge of import VAT (autoliquidation) has been mandatory and automatic. It is declared and deducted on the same return, with no cash outlay.

By bank transfer, in two instalments: 40% when you sign the quote, then the 60% balance on receipt of the inspection report, before the unit leaves the factory. Our bank details appear only on our pro forma invoice: never pay to bank details received any other way. The installation is paid to the installer, under the terms of its contract, attached to your quote.

A defect found at inspection is corrected before departure. Any other defect is reported in writing, with photos, within 30 days of its discovery and no later than 24 months after delivery: we have it repaired, replace the part or reduce the price.

Lodgeyard is a brand of REXOR GROUP LLC, a company registered in New Mexico, USA. We are not a manufacturer: the units are built in China by factories that we select, check and ask to compete.
