Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Bongshai Housing?
Bongshai Housing Ltd. is a Bangladesh-based pre-engineered steel building company and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contractor with 20+ years of experience, delivering prefab housing, cottages, container houses, and industrial steel structures from our office in Uttara, Dhaka.
What areas of Bangladesh does Bongshai Housing serve?
We serve all 64 districts of Bangladesh, with dedicated project teams based in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Cumilla. See our full district-by-district service area list for details on your region.
Is Bongshai Housing a certified company?
Yes. Bongshai Housing is ISO 9001:2015 certified for Quality Management and follows OHSAS 18001 / ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards, with in-house material testing on every steel, concrete, and panel component before use.
What is a pre-engineered steel building?
A pre-engineered steel building is designed and fabricated off-site to precise specifications, then assembled on your land - resulting in faster construction, tighter quality control, and lower material waste compared to fully on-site conventional construction.

Products & Models

What types of prefab and steel buildings does Bongshai Housing offer?
What floor plans and room configurations are available?
Most residential models offer three tiers: 400-600 Sq.Ft (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room), 750-900 Sq.Ft (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms), and 1050-1200 Sq.Ft (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms). Tiny Houses run 250-350 Sq.Ft (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom). Duplex Steel Buildings and Apartment Buildings offer 600 Sq.Ft per floor (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) or 850 Sq.Ft per floor (5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms), across two floors.
What's the difference between a Duplex Steel Building and an Apartment Building?
Both are two-floor steel structures with the same floor-area tiers, but they're finished and laid out differently - the Duplex line emphasizes a private single-family multi-level home, while the Apartment Building line is designed for multi-family or rental-style living. Compare individual models on each category page for exact specifications.
What is a container house, and is it durable for Bangladesh's climate?
A container house uses modified steel shipping containers as the core structure, finished with insulation, flooring, and interior fit-out for full residential comfort. As an all-steel structure, it holds up well to Bangladesh's monsoon and humid climate with proper maintenance.
What is a Tiny House, and who is it suitable for?
Our Tiny House line (250-350 Sq.Ft, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom) is a compact, budget-friendly prefab home - ideal for single occupants, small families, weekend homes, or as a starter structure on a smaller plot.
Do you build industrial steel sheds and warehouses?
Yes. Our Industrial Steel Sheds use PEB (pre-engineered building) steel-frame construction for factories, warehouses, and storage facilities, with clear-height and clear-span options sized to your operational needs.
What is Worker Accommodation, and can it be customized for large labor camps?
Worker Accommodation is our safe, scalable staff-housing line, built for factories, industrial sites, and labor camps. Layouts and unit counts can be scaled up for large workforces - contact us with your headcount for a custom layout.

Pricing & Financing

How much does a prefab steel building cost in Bangladesh?
Construction rates vary by category: roughly Tk900-950/sqft for Industrial Sheds and Worker Accommodation, Tk1,500/sqft for Wooden and Tiny Houses, Tk2,200/sqft for Cottage Houses, Tk2,500-2,750/sqft for Apartment, Duplex, Simplex, Steel House, and Concrete Building lines, and Tk3,000/sqft for Container Houses. Use our free cost calculator for an instant estimate based on your land size and floor count.
What factors affect the final price of a steel building?
Price depends primarily on floor area, number of floors, product category, and finish level (standard vs. luxury finishing). Site conditions and access can also affect the final quote.
Is there a free online cost calculator?
Yes - our interactive calculator lets you check land-fit against local setback rules, estimate construction cost by model, and calculate EMI for bank financing, all in one place.
Can I get bank financing / EMI for my project?
Our EMI calculator can estimate monthly installments based on Bangladesh's typical home-loan rates (around 9-11%). Standard bank eligibility generally requires a minimum monthly income of BDT 30,000 and 1-2 years of work or business history; Bongshai Housing can assist with the property documentation your bank will require.

Construction Process

How does the construction process work?
Every project follows four steps: Consultation, Design & Planning, Construction, and Handover, with payment released in stages as work progresses rather than all upfront.
Can I request a site visit before starting construction?
Yes. Share your preferred date, time, and location with our team through the contact form or WhatsApp, and we'll confirm a site visit before finalizing your design.
What materials are used in construction?
Materials vary by model: precast RC footing and tie beams, MS steel-grade structural frames, RC precast concrete wall and floor panels, tiled flooring, and weather-coat paint finishing are used across our steel and concrete lines; our Wooden House and Cottage lines use timber-frame construction instead.

Is there a warranty on construction?
