There are a lot of benefits that you can get when you purchase a shipping container house in Newark. Just like with a conventional house, you can have it modified and customized to have rooms and divisions. The good thing about it though is that building it is faster and the cost is relatively low. Since a Newark shipping container house is built from a shipping container, it already has walls, roof, and floors. Some think that container houses can be easily damaged, but in reality, it is the other way around. Shipping containers are initially built to withstand months of stay in ocean during transportation. They’re made of high-quality metal that is waterproof and fireproof to ensure that cargo inside it is safe from any possible damage. These features remain the same when a container is converted into a house. It will not corrode easily and you can have it installed with insulation so you can regulate the temperature inside. If you want a large shipping container house in Newark, you can buy multiple containers that will be attached to each other. You can have it placed side by side for a bungalow style home or have it stack one after another to create a multiple floor residence. They are also environment-friendly. Recycled shipping containers can significantly reduce the pollution and carbon print produced by metal and home material manufacturers.

Custom Homes with Lot

April S. Hockessin, DE

I am looking for a home to built with a minimum of three bedrooms. Two bedrooms for children to teens to occupy with decent closet space and one being the master with more room the the other two and a walk in closet with jack and Jill doors for his and her access. I would like there to be two bathrooms. One for the mater bedroom and the other for the two rooms and guest. Both bathrooms to have bathtub/ shower combo, a toilet and sink. I would like a family or living room area with enough room to be able to play family games and enjoy tv comfortably. , A kitchen with a pantry and room for a nice full size sink, stove and cabinets. Maybe even a breakfast bar on one side that leads to the living room area or dinning area. A dinning area big enough for a 6-8 seat dinning set with space to walk around the entire table comfortably. Any extra storage closets or hall closets that can be incorporated would be greatly appreciated. Also if there could be a front door, that leads into the family room/ living room area, a back door from the back of the kitchen and a door leading to the outside from the master bedroom! If making this two story will cut down on the space needed to do this project that would be fine and preferred. I dont know if you guys would be doing the whole project or I would have to get someone to do floors but the only places I would want carpet and not tile or linoleum is in the living room. As for natural light I would like there to be as much as possible to come in with options to close the hatches on most, the kitchen area would be accountable to have constant natural light available. I would like the entire house to have or be capable of having central cooling and wood stove capable. This project will be done on Native American trust land so no deeds or permits are needed. There is already a power pole, well and septic tank in place and ready to be used for this project. Im not sure of any other details you might be looking for to give a good enough estimate, thank you for your time and consideration.
