AFFORDABILITY
We offer a wide range of container home designs, floor plans, and customizable options to fit your budget.
STRENGTH & SAFETY
Unlike traditional homes, container homes are constructed of durable steel, originally designed to endure the harsh conditions of overseas shipping.
ECO FRIENDLY
With thousands of shipping containers entering the U.S. each year, you have an opportunity to repurpose these durable steel structures into a beautiful, eco-friendly home. Building with gently used one-trip containers is a smart choice for both your wallet and the planet.
FAST TO BUILD
Our shipping container homes are built and assembled inside our climate-controlled facility in the USA, allowing us to construct year-round. As a result of these advantages, the build time is less than traditionally constructed homes.
LOCATION & VERSATILITY
Because of the simple and easy foundations used by container homes, these structures can accommodate many different types of terrain and soil conditions, where some houses cannot.
IT ALL ADDS UP
It all adds up to a smarter, more valuable investment. The affordability, durability, efficiency, and versatility of shipping container homes make them a compelling alternative to traditional housing.
