Shipping Container Homes: Building a Home Using Containers – A Simple How to Guide for Beginners [Dwyer, Daron] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Shipping Container Homes: Building a Home Using Containers – A Simple How to Guide for Beginners

Review: Great entry level guide to building a shipping container home - I have built around 3 shipping container homes within the last two years and am always looking to up my knowledge on the subject. I came across this book and thought it was a decent read. Lots of it is devoted to the general concepts surrounding this type of construction and if you are unsure of a layout, there is lots of help there as well. I like the clear language and straightforward approach the uses in sharing these concepts. My only gripe is that i feel the author didn't go deep enough into the build particulars. Anyone that has every actually built knows that general plans and a broad idea are very different from measuring tape and screws being driven. To be fair, that level of technical detail may not have been the point and as a fairly deep introduction to building with shipping containers, i can say this is definitly a good book.
Review: Informative - Very simple, no drawing no floor plans, just tips and good insites for first timer container builder, really good info

Very simple, no drawing no floor plans, just tips and good insites for first timer container builder, really good info

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good...information for the beginner.
*by J***. on December 31, 2023*

As a designer/builder, I found a number of items in this book to be inaccurate. For example, not all states in the U.S. allow for the construction of residential dwellings constructed with the use of intermodal shipping containers. One reason is for the misunderstanding of the engineering of said structures. It's mentioned that it's wise to check the legal restrictions of where you intend to build - true, no matter what type of home you intend to build. Having a certified professional engineer sign off on your final drawings is a plus. Note also that there are states that simply don't care where or what you build to live in. As with any information or guidance, vet everything...to play the caution card in all that you do. A well thought out plan and design will serve you very well.
