been thinking about selling my home, buying a chunk of land and buying a container home. Need to get away from the city. Has anyone done this? I'll need to research on registering it as a new address and hooking it up to utilities.
Shipping container require framing inside to make it a home. Without framing you can not install insulation, utilities and dry wall. Once you instal framing you cut down on the available interior floor space. Container homes are overhyped and not necessarily cheaper than traditional framed houses, modular or mobile homes.
Well, it depends on the place where you live and the overall condition of the container. If you can get your hands on a 20ft for 1k, the Box is probably at the end of its life and quite beaten up, like bent walls, roof, frame and so on...
Superb, expert presentation. Magnifique more than suited. Japan's R9 container hotels inspired my idea to house vagrants in them - cheaper than if I built actual houses. Wise of me to research containers more.
it doesn't look like a cost savings from my observations. What I'm seeing is that 99% of the shipping container gets whittled away. Then, they add the flooring, ceiling, walls, windows, lots of paint, plumbing, electrical, furniture and cabinetry, kitchen and cooling and heating, bathrooms and sinks and showers and commodes, mirrors and drapes. After you getting looking like a typical house, it costs as much or more, because there is no shipping container left
But you never have wood rot you don't really have to do roofing and very sturdy for hurricane and portable and yes I do see what you're saying but I think I would like this route better myself I can do most of the work myself really
The most popular and in the spot light examples of these homes are the most finely finished and expensive as they attract attention, the average shipping container home is much more barebones and minimal and would fit the cost claim. But yes you’re right when you overbuild you overbuild. No matter the materials
Really thinking about this , I'm a welder , been welding for 25 years in refineries, I have friends who are electricians, cement finishers & insulators .... this looks fun
And you can't compare. Because the average conex house is smaller than a regular typical American suburb home. If your plot already has electrical and water, its extremely easy to do all the work yourself. You can rent a trencher from home depot. If you have a homestead exemption, just do the work yourself and get it inspected. I framed my brothers in 1 day on the inside. It took 3 days to run water and electrical. To the box. To do wiring and plumbing it took about a week. This is just with 2 guys. In order to do that with a house, you would have a whole crew and it would take months
I love this idea. I am a real property state certified appraiser so this would truly be a complex assignment.
Does anyone know that I can watch the project from the 1:20 timecode in white?
I think they're good to withstand hurricanes.

I'm thinking the same
@@DesFoley-g6s best of luck!
I want to do something similar but a gated community of containers homes for single moms

its rad
Insulation is the cheapest thing you estimate in construction
Great for hurricane areas. I'm buying one here in Florida. Don't have to worry about roof blowing off or termites either
ur mad at container homes
@@PapiAldoDiaz So anyone who points out shortcomings with a product is mad at that product.
Might be good to use in hurricane areas…but how do you handle lightning strikes?
Hook it into the ground?
What company’s pre build and deliver?
Waytogo with escalating home overheads!!!
Where are the containers so we'll priced? Where I live a 20ft goes for $5,000

Very informative and offers an interesting option.
Very nice . Wonderfull idea
I think if you’re doing the work yourself, it probably works out cheaper? I dunno I’m not a builder but just on watching a lot of these videos

Awesome 😎

“You may need to obtain building permits before building your home.” That’s hilarious.. Good Lord dude…
Muh zoning laws
If you have the land , this seems like a cheaper alternative to building a house
A venture capitalist could possibly consider opening this type of money lending.
Like "shotgun" houses in the past.
Nowifi can find a company that builds oversees

A brick but it's duct tape only

I saw better when I seen how they were used sideways as well for space...
Lol, this narration.
Probably cheaper just to get a prefab house…

Grounding same as anywhere 😂
