In this video we go over 15 sections you will need to consider when building your 40ft. shipping container home. We go over the materials used in our latest build and the HARD COSTS for each section.

This estimate does not include labor, tools you will need, exterior paint, siding, site prep, septic, site water/electrical hookups.

This is strictly the cost of materials to build a "Do It Yourself" shipping container home.
