In this project I'm going to design a container home. I am designing a container home for a lot of reasons. Using shipping containers to make a house has a lot of advantages. The containers are steel so they are very strong and can stand bad weather conditions. They are also very durable since they are designed to carry heavy things and to go trough different transportation conditions. Another advantage of using shipping containers to build a house is the cost of container homes compared to normal homes. They are inexpensive and sustainable building material. They are inexpensive because welding and cutting of steel is less expensive than conventional construction. Also pre fabricated modules can be easily transported by ship, truck or rail, because they already conform to standard shipping sizes and used shipping containers are available across the country. Construction for container homes involves very little labor and used shipping containers requiring only simple modifications can be purchased from major transport companies for as little as $1,200 each new containers are around $6000.
