Versatility. There are many options when it comes to creating a shipping container home. You can use multiple containers to create a large space or connect them cantilever-style for a multi-story home.
Cost-effectiveness. One cost-effective option for building a home is using used shipping containers. They are cheaper than traditional building materials and easy to install. Even ready-made or custom-made container homes are usually much cheaper than the same-sized traditional homes made of “sticks and bricks.”
Durability. Shipping containers are designed to be tough and reliable in all kinds of weather and situations. They undergo a thorough testing process to make sure they can withstand wind speeds of up to 180 mph, which is stronger than most hurricanes, thanks to their construction and materials. This makes them sturdy and safe for shipping goods across the world under harsh conditions.
Quick construction. After obtaining the necessary permits and preparing the site, it takes approximately 10 weeks to construct pre-fabricated container homes. The time required for DIY projects varies depending on the level of complexity involved. However, having the fundamental structure in place initially saves time in any scenario.
