Maybe you want to build a home from shipping container,but you know what will a shipping container home cost? The 10ft,20ft or 40ft shipping container and so on,how much do these containers modified to a house.A basic container home can range between $12,000 to $38,000. Large homes built with multiple shipping containers and amenities can range in price from $110,000 to $185,000.

Actually I think that’s very expensive to build a home from shipping containers.

And all of the following factors add extra to your cost.Land costs and climate requirements are significant considerations, it can also depend on many factors, including:

Size, layout, design, and the number of containers required
Welding and Fabrication requirements
Cleaning cost if the container is used
Plumbing and electrical
Siding
Flooring
Kitchen and bathroom finishes
Lofts
Windows
Doors
Insulation
And more.

So you see that it’s not the best choice to build your home from the shipping container.

And I suggest you to choose Moneybox modular units.The modular container looks like the shipping container.And compared to shipping containers,Moneybox modular units has very attractive advantages:

Lower cost,only one fifth of shipping container,even less;
Brand new,not used,not second hand;
More convenient to transport,expandable,folding,detachable;
Super save on shipping costs,one 40HQ can load 17 units detachable container house,that’s about 3300 square feet container house!!!
and more.
