The ten-cent definition of shipping container buildings.
A decade ago, shipping container offices on school campuses or construction sites were a common sight. With enhanced quality, rapid manufacturing, and elite customization, shipping container buildings are now widely used for commercial and public works projects. Developers recognize the immense potential of these structures.
Shipping container construction encompasses the manufacturing of modular buildings and their use for schools, offices, or commercial spaces. As an affordable and efficient turnkey solution, businesses have more options.
Shipping container construction has evolved beyond basic storage solutions, becoming a beacon of sustainability and innovation. Repurposing old containers not only promotes eco-friendliness but also offers a cost-effective and rapid construction alternative.
What you need to know about shipping containers.
Let’s look at a list of bullet points, which should touch upon the main information regarding shipping container buildings:
- They are easy to retrofit.
- They provide countless options because of the simple design.
- They can easily be stacked upon each other.
- They require insulation in tough climates.
- Very inexpensive alternative.
- Depend upon the zoning in any city.
- Eco-friendly
- Cost-effectiveness
- Very sturdy construction
- Very easy to relocate
Are they for you?
This, then, is the question. Shipping containers can be just about anything you want them to be, from office space for rent to a small warehouse for rent to a small shop for rent or retail space for lease. They can be a home in the style of the tiny home movement, or they can be a funky artist studio. You can stack them for multi-floor dwellings, attach them to double or triple the living space; in fact, they are probably the absolute best construction technique when money is an issue and flexibility of design is needed.
But are they for you? Shipping containers require you to suspend your preconceived notions about construction; they require you to toss aside traditional thinking; and they require you to downsize and become comfortable in a much smaller space than you are accustomed to. Can you do those things?
In other words, is your need greater than your want in terms of design and size? There are literally millions of unused shipping containers on this planet. Finding one is not a problem; affording one is also a non-issue; the solution to inexpensive commercial and industrial real estate is at hand.
