• <div><p>The national average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">cost of a building permit</a> is about <b>$1,600</b>, but this number includes extensive renovations.

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 prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to convert a garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can expect a garage conversion project to take an average of between two and four months. Your timeline can vary, though, and it could take six months or longer if you need to run utilities to a detached garage, make structural changes to the building, or carry out foundation and structural repairs before the conversion begins.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to build or buy a home?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s almost always more affordable to buy an existing home, especially if the alternative is building a custom home. With that being said, new construction is worth more than a similarly-sized pre-owned home with equivalent finishes. You&rsquo;re more likely to see a healthy ROI if you have a home built and then quickly turn around and sell it.</p></div>
