Excerpted from the website:
- Ecological & Sustainable
- The shipping container homes are the most environmental sound forms of construction on the market. They use a fraction of the traditional timber steel and cement construcion materials. The structural strength of the containers allows the builder to create multi-story dwellings, offering a largar living space while not expanding its footprint. The heavy gauge steel framing allows the unit to withstand 65,000lbs of stacked weight. It has been estimated that the final product represents 85% of recycled materials. Also, the foundation design is less expensive, uses much less material and is faster to install. The infrastructure for transport already exists for easy movement on ships, trucks and trains. This component reduces the amount of transport time of separate materials, because of one time delivered.
