Yet, overall, it is still lower than conventional construction. Labor The welding and cutting of steel is considered to be specialized labor, and can increase construction expenses. They can be stacked up to 12 units high when empty. Due to the containers' modular design, additional construction is as easy as stacking more containers. This simplifies design, planning, and transport as they are already designed to interlock for ease of mobility during transportation, structural construction is completed by simply emplacing them. As such, they provide modular elements that can be combined into larger structures. Modular All shipping containers are the same width, and most have two standard height and length measurements. They are also designed to resist harsh environments, such as on ocean-going vessels or sprayed with road salt while transported on roads. Strength and durability Shipping containers are designed to be stacked in high columns and carrying heavy loads. Advantages Customized Due to their shape and material, shipping containers can be modified to fit various purposes. Homes have also been built with containers because they are seen as more eco-friendly than traditional building materials such as brick and cement.
The use of containers as a building material has grown in popularity due to their strength, wide availability, and relatively low cost. This form of architecture is often intertwined with the tiny house movement, as well as the sustainable living movement. It is also referred to as cargotecture, a portmanteau of cargo with architecture, or " arkitainer". Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers ( shipping containers) as the main structural element.
