Shipping container homes has gained popularity as an option for minimalist living in an eco-friendly and innovative housing way. These homes are made by giving Shipping Containers a new life, helping the affordable housing demand by repurposing them, and much more.
1.) They are built with a 25-year life expectancy and are very strong and durable. They are also ready-framed and available to become someone’s next cottage, Office Space, Climate-Controlled Storage Space, Tiny House, Commercial Structure, etc. While saving you a lot of time and money compared to conventional framing, other Modular Structures, such as mobile Homes, are used.
2.) A shipping container home’s primary benefits are safety and sustainability, making it built to last long term.
3.) Shipping container homes are often more affordable than traditional homes, according to an article I read on Houzeo about what it costs to build a New Home in Arizona. Paroma Rane, the article writer at Houzeo, said that, on average, it costs $147 per square foot to build a house in Arizona. Construction charges depend on the type of property, square footage, and customizations you choose. Typically, you would spend 9 months to build your house. If you don’t hire a contractor and choose to DIY, it can go up to 12 months.
4) Their modular nature allows for a faster and sometimes less expensive construction. They can also be easily customized to fit individual needs and aesthetics.
5.) Another advantage is their portability. Shipping containers are designed to be moved so container homes can be relocated relatively quickly compared to traditional structures. This mobility makes them an excellent choice for those who desire flexibility in their living arrangements.
6.) Durability is the key feature, as shipping containers are built to withstand harsh sea conditions and can withstand hurricane-type winds. This makes them a smart choice if you live in extreme weather areas prone to natural disasters. Whether a single unit or multiple units connected, shipping containers are built to withstand 100 Mph winds if placed on a foundation or 175 Mph winds when anchored down with pylons.
7.) Lastly, shipping container homes can be a work of art that helps you make a personal style statement and is a testament to innovative design. They offer a unique aesthetic that can be adapted to modern, minimalist, or any other design preferences.
There you have it. I hope you find this helpful information as you discover how a modified Shipping Container might be just what you need to solve your real estate needs.
