FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

A container home should be trouble-free for at least 25 years. You can expect it to survive even longer if you maintain it properly and watch out for corrosion. Additionally, if you cover it with an external covering, such as wood, it will endure much longer.

The precise cost required to construct a container home will differ. A shipping container home typically ranges in price from $1,400 to $4,000 USD, depending on the size, age, and condition of the container. Here are some costs for the common shipping containers used in home construction to give you an idea:

20-ft. Standard new shipping container – $3,000 USD

20-ft. Standard used shipping container – $2,100 USD

20-ft. High cube new shipping container – $3,200 USD

40-ft. Standard used shipping container – $2,850 USD

40-ft. High cube new shipping container – $5,800 USD

In addition, the more customization you add to your house project, the more money is going to be involved. Features such as plumbing, electricity, floors, and windows will cost around $50 USD to $150 USD hourly in contractor fees.

Other factors that also affect the cost are:

Costs for a huge shipping container home range from $150,000 to $175,000 USD. It will only cost you $10,000 USD if you plan to build it yourself and have construction experience.

Availability – Most shipping containers are shipped directly from China, so the availability of stock will impact the price.

Permits – The cost will also depend on your area and the types of permits needed to build your home.

Site Rep – A foundation that is uneven, rocky, or susceptible to flooding will cost more.

Delivery – The delivery costs will vary on the distance traveled and the number of containers to be transported.

No, shipping containers lack water resistance. They can, however, withstand water to some extent because they are water-resistant. They can prevent snow, rain, and ice from entering the house.
