Q: 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&rsquo;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>

Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div><p>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</p></div>

Q: Do you get a builder or an architect first?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.</p></div>

Q: Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence&rsquo;s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div><p>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </p></div>

Amazing! I don't know what is wrong with other people on this website. It looks like they must have been referring to the wrong contractor when performing their reviews. John Tabor of Tabor Design Build is AMAZING. He and his team are the absolute best in the industry. I had the pleasure of...
