For the last few decades, shipping containers for the transport of goods have found a second life as a construction material due to their versatility and self-supporting structural capacity.

They are perfect for building homes inside them, for setting up shops or for developing the project you have in mind, or simply for storage in solar farms.

In short, they are the best solution to materialise your idea.

Given their short life in the world of building, homes and spaces made with shipping containers are still considered to be modern constructions, with a high versatility, and with the capacity to find solutions for each project.

By reusing shipping containers you can create magnificent annexes to extend your premises or home without having to invest a lot of money and time in renovation. You only need to prepare the land where the container will be located.

Also, as they are resistant, easy to transport and economical, the most common use given to these transport units is for storing tools in fields or as a tool room on building sites.

Supping Containers for building a House

Want to build your next house out of shipping containers?

This is a completely feasible and, in fact, quite modern option for building a home. All you need is a piece of land or property on which to place your container.

By purchasing a second-hand shipping container, in addition to reducing material costs, you will be contributing to the environment by reusing a container that is no longer being put to the use for which it was originally designed.

Before buying a used shipping container to build a house, we recommend you consider the following points:

Building plot

Before building any type of home, you will need to know what type of land it is for urban planning purposes: urban plot, rustic plot or land for tertiary use.

You can consult the cédula urbanística of the plot in the land registry to find out this information.

You should also know what the urban planning regulations are for that type of land, such as the maximum height, setback, buildability and occupation of the plot.

In this way you will confirm the possibilities of building on the land.

Condition of the land

Antes de proceder con el proyecto de obra y las licencias en el ayuntamiento, deberás Before proceeding with the building project and the licenses at the town hall, you should consider the quality of the land to know what type of substrate it is and the loads it can support. You will also need to consider the possibility of making changes to the slopes, including the possibility of excavation, in order to position the house ideally.

New construction project

TYou will have to ask an architect to draw up a housing project based on the available dimensions with the combination of one or more containers.

Application for a building permit

On the basis of this project you will have to submit the necessary documentation to the town hall and pay the corresponding licence fees. After a period of time, you will be granted the building permit, and then you will be able to install the house on the plot.

As soon as you have all the above requirements, you can start to develop the building project that the architect has previously drawn up.

Experimenting with shapes and heights, adding windows, cladding both the exterior and interior with other materials (such as wood), among many other possibilities.

The diversity of construction uses and possibilities offered by shipping containers is so extensive that you will spend hours researching and looking at ideas for your future home.
