Hi. Anyone have info how to best find the land zoned to allow for container homes? I understand you have to check with each local county or city zoning department, but was hoping someone might have experience or links to resources that can identify the zones classified to allow containers and/or areas they have built them on more quickly. Checking with the departments one by one for each land listing that looks promising seems very inefficient.

Regarding costs, i hear build costs of containers vs stick built being similar, but I had wondered if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc. yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows. That would seem significant savings over building concrete foundations and wood structure. Not to mention, in hurricane climates and seismic, container structure provide extremely additional structural support compared to conventional stick build.

Anyone else have thoughts or real experience on this?

Regarding costs,  @Gilbert Dominguez i hear build costs of containers vs stick built being similar, but I had wondered if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc. yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows. That would seem significant savings over building concrete foundations and wood structure. Seems your comments and experience confirm that is true. Not to mention, in hurricane climates, container structure is extremely resilient.  Of course, building in Vietnam is certainly less expensive than the USA.

Regarding costs, i hear pricing about build costs of containers and stick built being similar, but I wonder if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc.  yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows.   That would seem significant savings over building concrete foundations and wood structure. Not to mention, in hurricane climates, container structure is extremely resilient.
