SHIPPING CONTAINER CONVERSION FAQS
Shipping containers have been around since the 1950s, and, from the very beginning, enterprising people have been re-purposing them for a variety of uses. However, it’s only in recent years that the idea of a shipping container building or commercial building has really picked up steam. Part of this is due to the rising cost of conventional real estate in many parts of the country as well as to an increasing focus on recycling and green building techniques. For these reasons and more, shipping container buildings are starting to pop up with higher frequency in all corners of the world.
Naturally, this has caused a lot of people to have questions, particularly when they see newer builds — the best of which are barely distinguishable from traditional buildings. Because of this, we’ve prepared this exhaustive set of shipping container FAQs. Read on for answers to some of the most common questions our team and our customers receive.
