Frequently Asked Questions On Container Homes
What are container homes?
Container homes are innovative dwellings constructed using repurposed shipping containers. They provide a sustainable and unique alternative to traditional construction, combining modern design with eco-friendly materials.
Do container homes overheat during the summer?
Our containers have dual-layer insulation on top and single layer insulation on the sides. This not only prevents the container from overheating but also serves as noise insulation.
Can we create customised container homes?
We primarily build custom container houses and give recommendations according to client requirements. We simply create the house but you live in it, so it only makes sense that you get the final say in how it looks and feels.
Can you place the container house on steep land?
With a strong base civil work, your container house can be placed up to 5 feet from the ground level.
Does it involve a large amount of on-site construction?
No, container homes involve minimal on-site construction. The majority of the work, including modifications to the shipping containers, is done off-site. On-site assembly typically includes connecting the containers and completing finishing touches, resulting in a faster and more efficient construction process compared to traditional methods.
Is the cost of maintenance high?
It is similar to a regular home. An exterior paint job every 7-9 years increases the life of the steel outer body.
Does the container corrode?
Since the container is made up of Corten steel it does not corrode.
Is there a resale value for the container?

Can I make money out of the container home?
Listing your container home out on Airbnb is one of the easiest ways to make money with your unit.
What’s the lifespan of the container house?
The lifespan of a container home is notably long, typically ranging from 30 to 40 years or more.
