It is obvious that houses made with shipping containers are one of the most popular modular structures of recent times.
I have always said that shipping containers have an attractive feature. When you see a container house on social media, although you may not have thought about it, you probably feel the need to take a look.
There are thousands of different designs of houses made with shipping containers. But the most preferred and admired of these houses are those made with a 40ft shipping container.

The couple had to pour a foundation according to the requirements of the city of Albuquerque when constructing their container house. “It’s not necessary for a container, but that’s what we had to do,” said Lea.
The shipping container was placed on the foundation with the help of a crane and then welded with the anchor placed in the foundation. Although Lea thought that this process would be too long, it took 45 minutes in total.
The couple’s overall cost for the container house was around $65000.
