According to Hitekcf.co.za, the standard TEU shipping container can hold around 3,500 shoe boxes. A 40ft high cube can hold more than 8,000 shoe boxes. This is a tremendous amount of space! Today, shipping containers made into offices are one of the newest frontiers in recycling materials into new forms. With a tremendous amount of interior space, your standard shipping container can be rebuilt into an office that bears relatively little resemblance to the utilitarian cargo storage module it once was.
Shipping Containers Are an Affordable Start
A new office can be tremendously expensive – hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions can be the cost for a relatively paltry parcel of land and a small building. While container offices are a relatively new concept, and zoning codes have not fully caught up with them, they’re becoming more common and more attractive as the design language evolves. When you buy used shipping containers to build offices out of, you can cut hundreds of thousands off of the price of a new building.
Available Sooner
Shipping containers exceed their commercial lifespan every day, with years of useful life left in them. A retired container can be available for you within weeks of the day that you start your project, easily enough to become part of your new office. Once you have the container sourced, contractors can build your office in less than a month. If you buy used shipping containers to make it happen, you can build a new dream in much less time.
Imaginative Surroundings
Artists can get the most out of their recycled surroundings. These container offices are a truly blank canvas of the imagination, combining flexible living space with sturdy construction and an interior environment that can encourage the bold to experiment. And because most shipping containers are made of self-healing corten steel, minor tears and holes in the structure are practically self-sealing. Buy used shipping containers to keep your imagination and its products environmentally friendly. Keep the impact of these offices built from discarded containers low.
Recycled shipping containers make a great option for ambitious entrepreneurs who are tired of renting office space and want the most freedom of choice.
