metal shipping container home construction

MobilBox can build bespoke container housing including extensions to existing buildings as a great alternative to a conservatory or the lean-to. Not all container housing has an industrial look as they can have as many external finishes as conventional buildings. MobilBox can help you through every stage of the build and assist with both the planning application, design and finish or we can build to your exact specifications. The finished look of a container house is very much down to the client, designer and local authority, depending on local restrictions. Worldwide delivery is possible as we manufacture buildings both here in the UK and at our Chinese production facility. Less time is spent on site with wet trades and other services therefore saving even more costs. Container housing costs are saved during production as the houses are mainly manufactured off site in factory conditions and delivered ready to connect to mains services at site. You can read more about the cost and other benefits here. The cost per square metre for a container house compared to a conventional building is around 30% less on average.

Some of the many benefits in using shipping containers MobilBox works closely with designers, architects, construction companies and end users to build cost effective houses made from containers.

The flexibility of adding more space when needed, the cost savings from conventional building methods and the choice of finish makes the shipping container home a thing of beauty.

Think of the humble shipping container as a building block from which some interesting and exciting structures such as container housing can be created. However the real picture is somewhat different as both architects and self build home owners have proved that beautiful structures including houses can be built using this method. To some the thought of building a house out of steel shipping containers fills them with dread. We have become very sophisticated in our tastes and container housing reflects this in some of the great design ideas that can now be seen both on the internet and in design textbooks in libraries.
