We have been working on a magnitude of shipping container homes and entertainment spaces as this fast growing building method is receiving more acceptance in the architecture world for its cost efficiency, structural integrity and ease of use. Shipping Container homes are averaging savings of 30-50% when compared to standard concrete/brick and mortar construction methods and in 1/4 of the time.
Entertainment: Bars/Restaurant/Retail gain many advantages from building with shipping containers. When done strategically a business owner will never lose due to infrastructure. If business is slow owners can literally pack up their box (container) and move to another country if needs be or to a safe storage location until any issues are resolved.
Homes: Affordable housing seems to be the biggest sector shipping containers benefit. A single 40′ container costs in the range of $2500 – $4500 And can be designed into a comfortable living space/vacation cottage for Two/Four (1 bedroom & convertible living room) accompanied by 1 bathroom, kitchen and entertainment/living room with space saving furniture. A safe budget would be $60k – $100k Based on fixtures, materials and personal and site needs.
