What to know before buying acontainer house, or prefab house

Converting containers into a container house, is hugely popular right now. Building this way is similar to a knock-down house, but with containers replacing conventional building materials — a genuinely interesting new idea that turns something you would never expect into a real, liveable home, adaptable to many designs.

You have probably seen containers turned into coffee shops, resorts, sales offices or even homes — beautifully finished and very liveable. But before building a house from containers, what do we need to know? Let’s take a look.

1. We need to know the exact container dimensions and usable space — containers are rectangular — as well as the strength and durability of the steel.

    

2. Deciding to build a home from containers means piling is needed, because containers are heavy. On firm ground a raft foundation works; on soft ground, hexagonal piles are used in groups supporting all six points per container.

    

3. container house, A container home can have doors and windows, and can be finished just like ordinary house walls — cutting openings for door and window frames. The caution: never cut at the corners, which are load-bearing posts, and after cutting an opening, a reinforcing frame must be added around it.

Advantages of building a container house, or container home

1. It can be finished in just 2–4 weeks, depending on the finishing functions you add — more detail means more time, but compared with conventional construction it is still very fast.

    

2. Ready to move in or use immediately: being container house, prefab, the electrical and plumbing systems come pre-installed. With finished house models, some even come with air-conditioning, a bathroom and a bedroom partitioned and ready — nothing more to do.

    

3. Low price: most container house, cost from the high tens of thousands to the low hundreds of thousands of baht, depending on style, size and functions. Compare that with building a house of the same size and functions in conventional brick-and-mortar, or buying into a housing development, where the price can run into the millions.

    

4. No hassle finding builders, and no construction waste: when you buy a container house, or prefab container home for a house, office or shop, you can choose a finished model and have it delivered straight to your site. That removes the steps of finding a trustworthy builder or contractor, and the headaches of calculating and shopping for materials — get it wrong and you end up with piles of leftover materials that waste money and need storage space.

    

5. Works in limited space and moves easily: for a home, shop or office on a small plot, choosing a container house, or container home sized to your plot is a great fit. Beyond making the most of limited space, if you run a temporary office that relocates often, a container home is a truly worthwhile investment — it can simply be lifted and moved to the new site.

Disadvantages of building a container house, or container home

1. Service life is shorter than a conventional brick-and-mortar house. Although a container house, or container home has a strong, durable steel structure, it has no concrete posts or driven piles like an ordinary house. If the ground where the unit sits is not filled and compacted firmly enough, subsidence can develop after a period of use.

    

2. Decorating and extending later is difficult, because drilling or nailing can damage the walls and structure of a container house, or container home.
