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

Container homes in Falmouth 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. Falmouth 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 Falmouth 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.

Fair price breakdown

The cost of container homes in Falmouth depends on the size and design you prefer. A shipping container used in building container homes can cost as low as $12,015 and can go as high as $100,132 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.

A 40-foot fully furnished container home is approximately around $32,000 in price.

Falmouth County Container Homes FAQ

Definitely not true. It would be if you bought one without insulation. In fact, most container homes use ceramic spray insulation that is very efficient when applied directly to the metal. If you built a container home and used ceramic insulation paint to it, the structure can become more energy efficient as compared to traditional homes.

No. Remember that container homes are made out of shipping containers that are built to withstand torrential rains, salt water, and humidity. A shipping container is specially made using non-corrosive steel. It is then coated with the ceramic Insulation paint. Technically, it is rust-proof and can prevent molds and mildews from growing.

Autumn H. Portland, ME

Hello! Looking to potentially build a new home on a flat piece of land (7k sq ft). We would like to see estimates for a 3 bed, at least 1.5 bath, at least 1 car garage home, relatively open floor plan (as you can tell we are open to suggestions from the builders). We can give more details about aesthetic preferences, but that is mainly the gist. Please email only with quotes, as we both work long hours with many meetings so phone availability isn't really great for us but email is very convenient. Thank you!
