Benefits of Building With Containers : 

Benefits of Building With Containers it is less harmful to the environment to reuse the containers than to recycle them Fast construction Disaster proof Low cost Meet building codes Easily customizable Low maintenance Remodeling and additions can be built off site and put in place in one day

Why use shipping containers? : 

Why use shipping containers? Because the United States imports more than it exports, many containers end up stacked at ports. The reason for this is that it’s too expensive for a country to ship empty containers back to their origin. In most cases it’s cheaper to buy new containers from Asia. The energy saved by transforming a single container into a home, rather than melting it down, can power a standard 70-watt light bulb for up to 15 years. Through the use of an ISBU system, we can radically reduce the impact on the amount of trees needed for a home by as much as 99 percent. The system is green, easy, and inexpensive. With pre-manufactured building systems, there is no guesswork for fitting. They are built to specifications and are consistent every time they arrive on site. The savings come from reducing the on-site labor and shortening the materials list.

Creating a Structure : 

Creating a Structure Containers make structural sense. They are manufactured with heavy-gauge Corten steel to make them strong and fairly impervious to the elements. These ISBUs come in two standardized sizes — 40 x 8 x 8 feet and 20 x 8 x 8 feet. They are ideal building blocks and can be stacked up to nine rows high without compromising their structural integrity. This model shows how shipping containers are converted for use as building blocks in a modernist design that is eco-friendly, efficient, durable, and visually exciting.

Ceramic Paint Insulation : 

Ceramic Paint Insulation • 100% non-toxic, a child or pet could swallow it with no effect. • Compatible with every material and surface • Non-polluting of course. • Safe in our water, lakes, streams • Highly effective: 1 mm, the thickness of a business card. Ceramic paints are a perfect match for ISBU's, the paints and coatings are already widely used as the ultimate Eco-Green insulation solution Once applied to a hard surface, specifically an ISBU container module, the thin coating will reflect both extreme heat and also UV rays before it even enters your home or other structure. The ceramic coating can be used in virtually any paint type, and virtually any color applied to walls, roofs, heat ducts, pipes, ...almost any hard surface you can imagine.

Cost Effective : 

Cost Effective The 4 bedroom home is 3,000 square feet and built for a family with 6 children. A traditional house with of this size with wood framing would have cost the family at least $400,000, but instead cost the family only $175,000. That’s $58 per square foot - practically unheard of for an American home. This home took only 10 months to build out. the original shipping container floors were reused on the ceiling and metal grating is used as outdoor decking. Site work and gray work is completed first, then the containers are dropped into place in less than a day, and then after wards the interior is built out. The long process of framing a house is left out, which reduces the construction time and cost considerably.

…..Continued : 

…..Continued The house is made up of eight containers of varying sizes bound together by conventional building methods. The metal container walls define service spaces while wood and steel frame the living spaces, including an artist’s studio, master bedroom, and spacious living room with 20-foot ceilings.  A smartly placed below grade container forms a swimming pool. Doors and windows are cut through the walls The prefabricated nature of the containers allows 70% of construction to occur off site, greatly reducing construction waste. The resulting home is also extremely strong, mold-free, and fire- and termite-proof. This particular home also features prefabricated metal roof panels, multi-skinned acrylic sheets, formaldehyde-free plywood, natural ventilation instead of air conditioning, and efficient tank-less hot water heaters.
