It is ™STACK HOMES™ perspective that shipping containers are best used when they exceed 4 stories or 4 containers high.
If you only build shipping containers to 3 stories high you might as well use wood lumbar.
the value of shipping containers are that they are structural building blocks that can structurally support one another.
1 shipping container = 40ft x 8ft x 8ft
= 300 square ft
™STACK HOMES™ was founded to offer a home solution for people looking to build equity in their living situation instead of paying monthly rent.
we work with local municipalities to rezone single family lots and commercial spaces to build 5+ story homes. this creates a city effect with greater density per square footage of land. but most importantly it divides the cost of land by the number of units in the shipping container steel structure building.
we can offer home units in as little at $20,000.
we want to make a starter home accessible to single people, young couples, young families.
because of the modular and stackable nature of shipping containers the cost of construction is significanlty increased due to less time needed on site which means less rental costs, less labor cost.
in fact we don’t believe in labor. we teach you how to stack strucutre streel shipping containers. you will need a crane license. you will need a commercial drivers license. the future is in our hands.
lets build it.
