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

Container homes in Fort Worth 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. Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth depends on the size and design you prefer.

Cody B. Fort Worth, TX

We were wondering if you could give us a pricing estimate on building a home. It would be a ranch style with a two car garage. We would like the house to have a main floor master bedroom with an attached full bath and closet space, main floor laundry/mudroom with closet space, open concept kitchen/dinning room and living room, a half bath also on the main floor, and an unfinished basement. We do not want a big house, besides the basement we dont want a lot of unused/useless space. The bedroom should be big enough for a king or queen size bed, bedside tables, and a closet, and still have walking room. The full bath we would like it to be just a basic sized bathroom with counter space and room to get around. The closet can also just be a basic sized walk in closet. The mudroom/laundry room should also be big enough for our washed and dryer, closet and door to the garage. The living room doest have to be large, and we dont want a formal dinning room. For the kitchen we just need room for the fridge, oven, and microwave, and leaving some room for counter space. I would like a four-six person table to fit off the side of the kitchen. I was also wondering if you could give me a quote with both an island in the kitchen and on without. Thank you.
