Building a Container House

How Fast Can One Build a House

Building a house can take as little as months and as long as years, depending on the technology you choose to employ and on the budget you have available for this job.

There is a method of building a house very fast, and that's by using container modules assembled together. These containers are made for living, they serve functions such as sleeping room, bathroom or office and they are connected through transit modules such as stairways and hallways.

Such living containers are provided with thermal insulation and they can resists to relatively strong winds. If you don't want to stack them on the vertical, you don't even need a foundation to place them onto.

Who Makes Container Houses in Ploiesti

So, if you own a piece of land in the mountains or at the seaside, you can have a vacation house built of modular containers in no more than a few days. This is a company in Ploiesti, Romania, that makes such container houses: Construct Container - Containere Modulare. Not only they have very good prices, but their containers offer a high quality standard.

You'll see below a few photos illustrating containers produced by Construct Container for some of their clients:

What Makes Assembling Module Containers Possible

All module containers, be them for offices, meeting rooms or "container grup sanitar", have standard sizes, and that's what makes it possible to design and build a house from such modules. We are talking here about ISO containers, one of the most popular being the 20 foot container. Thanks to standardization, stacking and handling containers can be done wherever in the world, because all equipment and machines are designed to match these standardized sizes.

I think I've seen such container houses used for people left without homes following some severe floods that have been affecting some villages in our area. It's interesting.

Hey, that's a great idea for a vacation house. I think I'm going to see how much a combination of several container modules may cost.

Building with containers is worth taking a look at if you are contemplating a new home.

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

Lots of example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are considering a design build project.
