Why Have Container Homes Grown in Popularity?
Over the past few years, container homes have grown in popularity, and for good reason: they are strong and durable, inexpensive, environmentally friendly (compared to traditional materials), and allow for modular designs.

Since then, shipping containers have been used to build pop-up hotels, shopping centers and some amazing homes.
Why should you consider a home made from a shipping container?
1. Strength and Durability
This one is very sensible. For their original purpose of transportation, shipping containers were designed to carry heavy loads and stacked. They can also withstand harsh conditions. After a hurricane or other natural disaster, a normal house may be blown up, but if the container containers are properly anchored to the foundation pad, they can survive strong winds.
2. Low cost
Many of the used containers are far less than the number needed for a physical setup. Not only that, but you can save significantly on building larger, more expensive foundations. Even buying brand new containers is relatively inexpensive, considering that the labor expense is much less.
While many multi-million dollar homes are made from shipping containers, the whole idea of container housing began as an affordable housing solution. Over the years, hundreds of affordable container homes have been built, some of which cost less than 60,000 RMB.
3. Modularity
Shipping containers are the Lego blocks of construction. Combining containers into larger structures simplifies design, planning and shipping. It also allows for a home that can grow with you!
4. Eco-friendly
The average container weighs about 3,500 kg. The used containers not only allow easy access to the home, but also reduce the need for bricks and cement. It reduces construction water consumption and concrete loss by about 60%, reduces construction waste and renovation waste by about 70%, saves energy by about 50%, and increases overall productivity by about 2-3 times.
Advantages of modular building technology:
1. Fast construction speed, compared with large-slab construction can shorten the construction cycle by 50-70%.
2. High degree of assembly, most of the construction work, including water, heating, electricity, sanitation and other facilities installation and house decoration are moved to the factory to complete.
3. Minimal pollution to the environment.
4. Convenient for later expansion.
