Legality. Many countries and building regulations have a negative attitude towards container houses.

@Keasbeysknight Ай бұрын

If I was wanting the Pacific bin look, I'd just make it out of wood and clad the siding in something like roofing material that gave the look without all the hurdles. Best of both worlds. The idea of reusing something like a shipping container is awesome for people worried about waste and who want to reuse a product, beyond that, to me , the benefits arent there. Great video, though and I look forward to the next buildings you make.

Devon, I really appreciate your brutal honesty and thoroughness of your videos in detail, your container home builds are truly awesome and beautiful, keep up the wonderful builds Devon!

@user-vr9sm1yf3p 9 күн бұрын

Most benefits are gone once you start deviating from the container formfactor and adding metal work. If you make clever use of the structural integrity you don't have to invest nearly as much into the foundation either.

Factory built homes are the way to go. Mass production efficiencies, proven designs, engineering and manufacturing techniques.

My thoughts exactly. Realized this many hears ago when I've seen the customization costs also having a background in working with steel, welding, etc..

@sule_imani Ай бұрын

Other than cost, all the other issues could be solved by having an architect running the project. When you do something you've never done before of course it's going to be difficult. That is true for most things. But for a qualified professional it's fairly straight forward

I'm interested in building and designing shipping container homes, and through all these videos, I've came up with some improvements and work arounds. Some designs and layouts work better than others. One key is as a home, not making them more than they are, they aren't supposed to be luxurious and elaborate, you're working with something utilitarian and being repurposed as a home, the same way a school or warehouse/factory would be. Also one could use fiberglass insulation-- various busses use it.

@devonloerop Ай бұрын

Wrong, absolutely do not use fiberglass insulation. You will 100% have mold problems if you do. Also, I built a unique luxury short term rental property not a conventional home for a single family to live in, if you know the short term rental space, unique and luxury is a very nice market to be in. :)

@ItsDaJax Ай бұрын

@@devonloerop I understand what you're saying. As far as the fiberglass goes; it seems transit and school busses, and coaches use it with no problem, from the tear downs I've seen, is there a difference I'm not seeing? I'm no expert, I'm still learning these things. Could it be busses are just tighter built?

I wonder if it would work as a grandparents unit. Put two down in the backyard sort of thing as place to live when my parents retire. There's a shipping container place like 4 miles down the road from me, so I've been thinking about it.

@carolyngarcia6292 Ай бұрын

If I buy the plans will it be ready to take to the permitting? Because this bypasses an architectural design, is that right? Would I still need a structural engineer? So this would save me on needing to hire an architect?

@devonloerop Ай бұрын

You'd have to check with your local building department on what's required as it's different all across the country. But most times you'll need a local engineer to stamp the set with your address confirming that everything as it's drawn is acceptable for the plot of land you own. But everything in the set I'm selling what all I needed to get my building permit issued.

I'm currently wrapping up a first if it's kind 5 container home on a remote Cay in The Bahamas 🇧🇸. It's been a steep learning curve for sure and challenging endeavor for my construction firm and the client. I'd advise that persons do their homework and be prepared to have to be creative in their build...

In a union carpenter, i want to say a guy I knew got a container for dirt cheap at the end of the job, it had some dings but nothing else, they just didn’t want to transport it so he took it off their hands for like 500 bucks or something along those lines

6) Poor resell value

@devonloerop 20 күн бұрын

Just got an appraisal and it valued 10% higher than comps in the area. The structure greatly exceeds building code because it's a custom structure. Plus I'd never sell it as a single family home as I'd sell as part of my business, which a multiple on the income will make the resale way higher than a single family home.

Sure, but it still wouldn't have this exact aesthetic. It was nice having a lot of the structural work already done with the containers. Plus the home is super durable!
