How Much Does it Cost to Get a Container Home in Waianae?

Container homes in Waianae are housing structures built out of shipping containers that have been abandoned in shipyards. They became popular over the past decade because of their uniqueness, durability, availability, and low cost. Waianae container homes are deemed to be environmentally-friendly because they are built out of recycled shipping containers. It is estimated that one shipping container is equivalent to 3,500 kg worth of steel. Using a container home will save you the expense of buying traditional building materials like concrete, wood, and bricks. They’re generally built in a manufacturing facility and will only be delivered to the site once done. This is good for lots that are not suitable for building. Container homes in Waianae are fast to build. A primary container home can be constructed in no more than a day or two. This is possible because a container home already has its floor, walls, and ceiling intact. Lastly, since container homes are considered to be made out of recycled materials, their cost is relatively small.

The cost of container homes in Waianae depends on the size and design you prefer. A shipping container used in building container homes can cost as low as $17,907 and can go as high as $149,232 depending on the size that you choose. A 20x8x8 feet shipping container can cost around $3,500. A 40x8x9 feet container home is estimated to be around $5,000 up to $6,000. A 20-foot container home is expected to be around $12,500.
