It really is quite amazing how fast container homes come together, compared to regular wood framing and concrete construction. In both wood frame and concrete there is complicated organizing and scheduling of the labour force and in concrete, formwork to be built and concrete to set and cure which can take up to 30 days. In using shipping containers, there are far less people involved, since the incredibly strong frame has already been built. The only additional preparation of the containers is to cut openings for windows and door.

Never even thought of this one as a concept. Swimming pool made out of shipping containers.
I love this blog guys, it's totally opened my eyes to new possibilities with these containers. I just wanted to build my own home from one.

I couldn't live in such cramped conditions (done it before, four of us in a 32 foot long by 12 foot wide space...SO CRAMPED!), but a pretty neat design nonetheless.
It's amazing what can be done with these containers.

Now that IS amazing. All in three days??

I can see how easy it is to enclose a large area and throw a big roof over the whole thing. Really really neat idea.

If you have your own building specifications, you don’t have to worry that metal buildings will not be able to comply with your requirements. When you contact your metal building supplier, make sure that you hand them your floor plan so that they would know exactly what you need. Metal buildings that are being produced nowadays uses state-of-the art technology and uses clear span or open spam frames so that no support columns are required. Thus, when your metal building is finished, you have an interior that is obstacle free and it’s up to you to decide on how you want your floor or building compartmentalized or divided.

If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.

Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND? ARCHITECTURE.

Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...
