Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a garage?

• <div><p>Building a garage costs between <b>$16,500</b> <b>and</b> <b>$41,000</b>, but most homeowners pay between <b>$5,000</b> <b>and</b> <b>$70,000</b>. The enormous range in costs is due to a wide variety of sizes and materials, as well as certain projects requiring specialized labor. Some good news is that if you ever sell or refinance your home, you can often recoup the cost of a garage install. </p></div>

Q: Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can convert your garage into an ADU. You&rsquo;ll need to follow local building codes to ensure your new unit is up to code. For the most part, building an ADU in an existing building is more affordable than building a new one. Even so, consider the condition of your garage before making a decision. Not all garages are in shape for a smooth conversion to an ADU, and renovations can add up in cost.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to build a garage?

• <div><p>Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on size and custom features included.</p></div>

Q: How much is an extension above the garage?

• <div><p>Due to space restrictions, some homeowners choose to build an above-garage extension. This second-floor area can be used for storage or living space, but it&rsquo;s more involved than your standard garage extension project. For example, you might need to pay for foundational or structural reinforcement if your current garage can&rsquo;t handle the extra load. Expect to pay $25,000 to $100,000 to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/adding-room-above-garage.htm">add a room above the garage</a>. </p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
