## What is Shipping Container House Plans?

When it comes to building a home from a shipping container there are many things you must consider. You've probably already searched various websites for guidance however many of the other Online guides miss out several very important steps.

You see, safety is a huge factor when building a container home. I mean, you're probably going to have friends and family living in your container at some point!

And that's why you need to follow a guide you can trust. Not some dodgy You Tube video.

Professional container builder for 14 years reveals his secrets and teaches you:
How to build a beautifully designed home using shipping containers.
What costly mistakes you must avoid so your project doesn't collapse like a house of cards!
The fastest way to get your project complete and livable.
Where money can be saved and where you need to invest those savings for the best results.
The cheapest way to build a container home from start to finish.

Use my secret sources to get a shipping container at the lowest possible price. This can make or break your chances at building a low cost home.
Crucial pre-purchase inspection tip! Warning: You must know this before purchasing ANY shipping container. Not knowing this quick tip could result in heart ache and lost $$$.
How to obtain your permit. Get full step-by-step instructions to obtain a building permit including a check list of what you need to do. Just check them off as you do each step.
Design and layout planning tips and advise from a qualified expert. It may seem simple using containers but there are quite a few options as you're probably aware. 20", 40", High cube etc. Then you can use multiple containers in many different formats. My design tips will help you choose the right layout for your needs.
On top of my layout tips I'll also throw in 15 3D container layout options to help you out.
Learn how to correctly prepare your site for footings or concrete foundations. I go into quite a lot of detail with plenty of diagrams and pictures on this topic because this is where I see a lot of newbie container builders go wrong. So pay attention!
Get my electrical layout and installation plans. I've topped this off with full diagrams to make this as simple as possible.
This is just a small fraction of the information I'm including in my guide to Building a Container Home. There is SO MUCH MORE included and I'm sure you're going to love the detail.

### 1/5 — Spam App

*2021-10-06, version 2.0*

This app has no valid information. Its all click away links to purchase web pages. Ignore this app.

### 1/5 — Click bait.. don’t waist ur time

*2021-03-14, version 2.0*

Anything u click on brings u to a website to order plans to build

### 1/5 — Fake app just a link to a website

*2020-03-23, version 2.0*

Fake app just a link to a website and. I don’t trust shady websites or apps. Be careful use at your own risk.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-09-18, version 2.0*

This app is not worth downloading. It’s horrible! Just excerpts from the guys book. Not worth your time.

### 1/5 — Click Bait App. No actual app functions. Only a link to a web sales page

*2019-08-07, version 2.0*

This is the absolute worst app I have downloaded...ever. When you click on any function in the app, it takes you to a high pressure sales web page. 

Do Not Install This App ... EVER!!!

### 1/5 — Just ads

*2019-01-07, version 2.0*

This is simply a spam app designed to deliver ads and send you to links with even more ads.

### 1/5 — Falsely advertised app

*2018-06-17, version 2.0*

This app is not what the description says it is. Instead of letting you see examples and how container homes work and mock up your own, it is an ad to get you to purchase and order the information. Despite being an ad itself, you’re served pop-up ads for other products while you navigate the menu trying to access the tools the app promised.
👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫👎🚫
If the app is a bait and switch, I have very low confidence in the integrity of the product itself. A big risk if you’re plan is to turn your dream into a home.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2018-06-13, version 2.0*

Why would Apple allow apps so stupid like that🤔. Don't waist your time

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2018-02-02, version 1.0*

It’s all links to the internet. Total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Waste of time...

*2018-01-12, version 1.0*

This app is a complete waste of time. Every function of the app sends you to a page that wants to charge you to use it.
