2. Benefits of Container House

Container homes are becoming increasingly popular both for homeowners and landlords as an affordable alternative to traditional rental housing. While there are a lot of pros to-container properties, there are cons that come with this alternative housing design too.


  • Durable

    Steel is extremely durable, and container homes can be designed and constructed to be permanent, low-cost homes. Certain design elements -- like positioning large windows or sliding glass doors to face the proper sun exposure while utilizing special flooring materials and including proper insulation in the walls and ceiling -- will help keep cooling and heating costs down in the home. Most steel container homes can last a lifetime if designed and constructed well.


  • Sustainable

    For most companies, the cost of returning an empty container after shipment exceeds the cost of building a new container, leading to millions of old containers sitting unused. Creating container homes from upcycled containers is a perfect way to reduce waste, use recycled products, and provide a sustainable alternative for home construction.


  • Cost-Effective

    Containers new or used can be purchased for as little as a few thousand dollars, making container homes an affordable option, especially for homes at the most basic level. A 20-foot container runs between $1,500 and $3,000 per unit, while a 40-foot container costs between $3,500 to $4,500. If you're looking to create a tiny home using this structure, then your cost for containers can literally be a few thousand dollars. But if you're looking to build a more sizable house, there are container homes that are over 2,000 square feet now, you could be looking at closer to $25,000 for the containers. While this may seem like a huge jump, compared to building a traditional wood home of the same size, the cost of materials is still nominal.


  • Customizable

    A container-home build is extremely customizable. Designers are beginning to specialize in container construction, providing innovative container architecture designs that allow owners to add their own personalized touches, like using recycled materials, adding a full wall of sliding glass doors, or installing off-grid components like solar panels, for example.


3. What kind of permit do you need to build a container house?

Container architecture is still relatively new, so the most important thing before starting construction is to research your local laws and regulations. You need to ensure two things: First, that your container building will fit on the land, and second, that it will meet existing building codes and zoning restrictions. Building codes set standards for what structures must have in order to receive an occupancy permit. Zoning regulations, meanwhile, dictate where a home can be built.


Some codes and regulations explicitly say whether container homes are allowed while others group “non-traditional” structures—like tiny houses or dome homes—together. Container homes are more likely to be allowed in more remote or less-trafficked areas, but you really need to check with your city or county planner for the specifics.


4. How long do We Need to build a container house?

Container houses are often faster to build than traditional stick-built houses. The simplest and smallest of container homes can be built in a few days or weeks, depending on how much finishing work your design requires. More complex houses will usually still take at least a few months and note that container homes are still subject to normal construction delays.


For the fastest type of container houses, look for companies that fabricate most of the structure offsite before transporting them to your land. These prefab-style containers houses tend to be smaller, but they come prebuilt with almost everything you need to move in right away.
