So fellow tuners, what do you think on this topic.
i have been thinking about constructing a complete home with a couple used shipping containers, which of course would be carefully selected for use. (condition,and what is was used to transport)
However in our beloved country...is it:

Safe?, Legal?, cost effective....?

Where in the energy industry are shipping containers used as portacamps?

[dougla_boy]

seems like a good idea, but i think things like expanding should be considered, is it long term or short term, cuz if long term, then expansion will need to be considered.

all in all, it seems like a good idea........

if u can or want to post details, it would be great info to add to the site!

offshore on the south west coast... lots of platforms with shipping containers as accommodation for workers

[rollingstock]

Had a former co-worker who did this, he still lives in it without complaints, teh exact logistics of it i am not aware of.

btw i think the 2009 incident referred to is the children in a container in teh port.

[Chimera]

there was that guy who was building a "complex" by uwi with shipping containers and he got shut down not so?

[Bizzare]

SBCS in Champ Fleurs built some sections using containers, not so. I know the studying room is a container... how sad

[Mark!]

[dougla_boy]

but ent dat man get shut down? the containers are/were just stacked there........

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

This has been done and approvals arent necessary seeing that they arent "permanent" structures in many parts of the country.
Logistics are simple.
Easy Maintenance.
Cut holes as required for HAVC, Plumbing, etc.
Stack front - back, up- down.
Biggest cost is aesthetics and thats optional.
Space planning is what need the thought to make it ergonomically habitable.

treat the metal properly and consider insulation.

cold in the night (no need for AC) but a freakin oven in the day....
