Container homes, looking for an inexpensive backyard office or a tiny house in the woods? Check out the growing field of container architecture, which offers container homes constructed from reused shipping containers. Builders today offer prefab container homes. There are also plans and kits that allow you to build a custom container house with electricity, plumbing, windows and other options. Anyone considering a container house also should take into account the cost of the land and a foundation upon which the container will be placed.
Shipping container homes, also called storage container homes, offer a fast, green, and sustainable approach to building. These intermodal steel building units (ISBUs) are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment so they are standardized and reliable. They can be used to build an average-sized home with almost no wood by place several containers together and even on top of each other.
