SUNRUN INSTALLATION GUIDE

Site Preparation & Installation Guidance

Plan the site, access route, lifting operation and utility connections before your modular house arrives. Use this guide as a project checklist, then follow the approved drawings and model-specific instructions for your order.

Start with the confirmed specification. Dimensions, lifting points, structural connections and installation sequence differ by model and configuration. Ask SUNRUN for the final packing list, drawings and installation instructions for your exact unit before scheduling the crew or crane.

Six practical checkpoints

01 · BEFORE DELIVERY

Confirm the site and approvals

Check the destination address, local permits, property boundaries, ground conditions and available working area. Arrange a local professional to confirm the foundation design and applicable building requirements.

02 · ACCESS & BASE

Prepare access and foundation

Measure roads, gates, overhead cables and turning space for the delivery vehicle. Complete a level, load-bearing foundation with suitable drainage and enough clearance for the expanded wings, doors and maintenance access.

03 · UNLOADING

Plan a controlled lift

Choose equipment and a qualified lifting team for the shipment weight and site conditions. Use only the designated lifting points and suitable rigging. Keep the lifting zone clear of people and obstacles.

04 · POSITION & EXPAND

Follow the model-specific sequence

Inspect the delivered unit and components, position the central structure, then unfold and secure the sections in the order shown in the supplied instructions. Check alignment, structural fasteners, roof joints and weather seals.

05 · SERVICES

Connect and test utilities

Have qualified local trades connect electrical supply, water and drainage to the approved design. Test circuits, plumbing, drainage, ventilation and any heating or cooling equipment before occupancy.

06 · HANDOVER

Inspect the finished unit

Confirm level, doors and windows, roof and wall seals, exposed finishes, fixtures and all agreed functions. Record any outstanding items with photos and complete a final walk-through before handover.

Before the delivery truck arrives

  • Final model, folded size and shipment weight confirmed
  • Local approvals and engineered foundation confirmed
  • Clear truck route, unloading area and safe crane position
  • Qualified installers and lifting equipment scheduled
  • Power, water and drainage connection points ready
  • Weather conditions and delivery timing reviewed

What should you send us?

Share your selected model, quantity, destination country, site photos, access dimensions, climate conditions, desired layout and utility requirements. We can then coordinate the relevant drawings, packing information and installation guidance for your project.

This is general planning guidance. Final foundation, lifting, anchoring and utility work must follow the approved project documents and local professional requirements. Installation duration varies by site readiness, crew, equipment and configuration.
