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>

Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:</p><ul><li><p>Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom</p></li><li><p>Replacing plumbing pipes</p></li><li><p>Installing or repairing septic systems</p></li><li><p>Running new electrical wiring</p></li><li><p>Installing a subpanel</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What is the longest part of building a custom home?

• <div><p>The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">homebuilding budget</a> and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.</p></div>

How long do shipping container homes last?

• <div><p>Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. </p></div>
