Shipping container homes have gained popularity in recent years due to their numerous benefits. Here are some of the key advantages of shipping container homes:

Affordable Housing

There has been an increased demand for shipping container homes as a result of the increased cost of building traditional brick and motor houses. For instance, the cost of constructing a 2-bedroom shipping container unit is 1.4M compared to a traditional brick and motor house which can go up to 3.5M. This makes container houses an affordable option to housing.

Durability

There is a major advantage in shipping container houses given their durability. Containers are made of heavy steel which ensures that they are not only durable but can also withstand all weather conditions. This makes shipping container homes attractive as a safe housing option given that it is not easy to break into these units.

Fast Building Time

One of the major benefits of shipping container houses is the time taken to build a new home to completion and ready for occupation. A shipping container house can be completed in 2 weeks to 2 months depending with complexity of the project. Using the steel containers means that the main structure is already in place and less time as well as materials is used to construct walls. This makes the process easy and fast and you can move into your new unit within a short period of time.

Portability

Another unique advantage of shipping container house is the fact that they can be moved from one location to another as one desires. Containers are designed in a way that they can be transported by trucks which also applies to container houses. When a single unit is used to construct a house, it can be moved around as one desires. This is a major advantage to the owner compared to traditional houses where the location can’t be changed and the house has to be dismantled if there is new development that needs to be done on the land.
