The challenge is to design a house using shipping containers with a budget of 30,000 dollars. New containers cost about 6,000 dollars, and they would be more ideal for building because used containers would need extra cleaning and refurbishing although the initial cost is 1,200 dollars. Labor costs, such as welding containers together are to be included in the budget. Also, a construction site needs to be chosen, photographed, and measured for the house. The width of the container is 40 feet, the depth of the container is 8 feet, and the height of the container is 8 feet. The container house can be designed for individuals or families.The container house is being built on 7 Foundry Rd and it is made for a couple or individual looking for an inexpensive first home or a couple that wants to downsize. Three storage containers will be used to create the modern look of the home and they will be stacked on top of each other.

It is really a challenge especially if you have limited budget and time to finish the project. - Ellerslie Mission Society
