How safe are container homes?
Yes, you’re building a house. But you don’t need to worry about all of the building structures.
More and more people are turning to this option as a cheap way of living. For a mere fraction of what a normal house would cost, you can own a piece of modern trends that people will be talking about.
People who live in a container home are part of a wider community that they likely didn’t even know they exist. It may sound silly, but all who live in a container home share a bond that is unbreakable, whether they like it or not.
You can share tips on different aspects about your container home that no-one else can give. Whether it’s something to do with electricity, cooking or even plumbing, you’re likely to encounter another fellow container home habitant who has had similar experiences.
There’s a structure already in place for you to design exactly how you want it. It’s essentially a blank canvas, what more can you ask for?
Clients can purchase container homes from reputable companies that purposely build homes using shipping containers as the structural framework. As one of these companies, we make sure that the flooring is compressed cement sheeting just like it is used on building sites, and that human-friendly materials are used in the construction process.
Since converting these boxes is such a thrill, the public is unaware of these facts. They forget that when they cut an opening and modify the structure, the structure will be compromised and must be engineered. In the end, a proper job will cost more than building a small unit or ending up with an unsafe product.
Prior to using a repaired container, it must always be reinspected. Inspection does not necessarily equate to re-certification. It’s quite different from what I expected. Many of these well-used or frequently damaged units are so old they are dangerous to handle, and it is unknown what cargo was transported in them.
