Owning your own home is often the pinnacle of one's achievements. However with increasing costs of home ownership it can be out of reach for many.

Due to rapidly escalating prices, land shortages and environmental concerns many are looking at alternatives to the traditional bricks and mortar residencies we're all familiar with.

One such alternative is the Shipping Container Homes - yes that right the humble shipping crate.

You might be surprised to learn that there are an increasing number of people looking to utilize these as raw materials for home builds.

Shipping containers offer a modular and durable set of building blocks of which to develop your home from. They can be bought either new or used at relatively low cost.

One of the key benefits to using a shipping container is that it already comes with walls, floors and a roof! With the help of architects and designers you can look to combine multiple containers into a single dwelling - through appropriate planning and design, windows doors and fascias are added to make the finished product resemble something more akin to a modern house.

Shipping containers are very durable - they are typically constructed from weathering corregated corten steel.
