Converted ISO shipping containers offer a wide range of building types and configurations, which are only limited by the technical ability of the designer.
They are individually very strong units that are capable of carrying payloads of 26 tons or more and supporting on top of them 9 other containers fully loaded!
These capacities are well above any normal modular building requirement and the use of rust prohibiting Corten Steel in their construction now provides the container with a very much longer life span than other modular timber framed buildings and the ability to be positioned easily without a great deal of ground preparation and being remarkably cheap and readily available items, make them an ideal unit to be modified into units such as offices , toilets , accommodation , specialized storage, laboratory , workshops classrooms, canteens, studios etc etc.
Widely used in the portable building, temporary site storage industry, the aesthetic appearance of a corrugated box has dampened the appeal of the greater use of them being applied to accommodation units on a wide scale, but the recent development and availability of a wide range of exterior claddings such as Brick Slips, Shiplap Boarding, Insulated Light Gauge Metal Panels, combined with the International concerns of Carbon Emissions and the need to recycle, has seen a stimulation of interest in the re-use of a used shipping container into converted modular units especially where speed, low cost and temporary solutions are required.
