Shipping Container Construction

[fishinpox]

I still think conventional stick framing, on pilings would be cheaper. With the containers u still need to add a subfloor , 2x4 walls , frame a ceiling , insulation, sheetrock ect.. So u are basiclly paying 3-6000.00 for a container to serve as your exterior finish. I confident you could stick frame it and put hardi siding on it cheaper. Plus the whole finding someone to engineer you a set of plans to bring to the city for permitting will be difficult if u go the container route. If u didn't care what tge inside looked like u could not frame/ Rock interior walls u could just coat tge inside of the container with 2" of CLOSED cell foam and run all electric through conduit that would be visible..... I don't think your wife would approve of this route though!
