What is a container home?
Shipping container homes are single- or multi-family residences that use new or used shipping containers as their primary material. The containers, built for holding cargo on transoceanic crossings, are made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel.
Why use containers?
-
They can be more cost effective than traditional housing- requiring less building materials and labor.
-
They're quick to construct- our container homes are build in 3-4 months
-
They're modular which makes them easy to modify with 20 ft and 40 ft shipping containers
-
They're environmentally friendly due to being constructed out of recycled shipping containers
-
They're safe and durable- made from self-healing, weather withstanding steel and originally designed to protect precious cargo during transport in any harsh weather conditions (hot, cold, wet, etc.)
