Shipping container homes are built using multiple used shipping containers. The containers are cleaned, reinforced, and connected to create a frame for your new house. Container homes are fitted with plumbing, electrical wiring, and all the features of a modern home.

Constructing a shipping container home should save money. It costs less to construct, due to the smaller size of the typical shipping container home and the use of recycled materials.

You can find premade shipping container homes for around $10,000. A luxurious yet small container home may cost as much as $35,000. Larger options may cost up to $185,000.

Building a shipping container home is faster than building a regular home. The average timeframe for new home construction is about seven months.

However, after accounting for the time needed to secure a loan and start construction, you may end up waiting close to a year to move into your new home.

Some builders can construct a shipping container home in less than a month. Your new home can be move-in ready quickly, which may make it easier to schedule construction around your needs.

Shipping containers are highly durable. Homes built from containers also provide increased durability compared to traditional houses.

A well-built container home may even survive a hurricane or tornado. An F2 tornado produces winds with speeds between 113 and 157 mph.

The metal frame is often reinforced with additional steel beams, allowing container homes to withstand winds up to 170 mph.

Shipping container homes are easy to modify. You can choose from a wide range of floor plans and layouts or work with a builder for a custom build.

The average life for a shipping container home is about 30 years. You can extend its life by reinforcing portions of the containers and dealing with repairs swiftly. However, a standard home is likely to stand the test of time better.
