The newly launched guide is designed for beginners adopting minimalist living. Given that the average cost of building a new home is rising, many potential home builders are now looking for alternative materials for building a home to benefit from reduced construction costs.
The guide highlights that there are a number of benefits of owning and creating a shipping container home. For instance, the homes offer speedy construction, particularly if an engineer or design firm is hired.
The homes also offer tremendous mobility since they can be shifted to a required location as often as desired, unlike conventional homes. Since sea containers are available in different sizes, they offer creative freedom for a large or small home. They also often do not need to adhere to the rules and regulations of conventional architecture and construction.
Shipping container homes are also cost effective since the process involved is considerably cheaper than the conventional building process. The construction process also offers DIY opportunities. Since containers are manufactured to be strong and durable, they are also very sturdy.
Importantly, shipping containers are eco-friendly. To build a container home, it is primarily existing building material that is used.
Before a shipping container home is built several things must be considered. An important first step is to determine the budget. Then, zoning issues and building permits must be checked before purchasing the shipping container.
If not doing a DIY container home, the next step is to hire builders and contractors. Preparation of the site can then begin, followed by developing a solid foundation. The storage containers can then be prepared and attached.
After the final windows, doors and ventilation are installed, an inspection of the building can be done to establish whether it complies with the local building standards and regulations.
