Prefab (prefabricated) and modified container offices and houses refer to structures that are built off-site and then transported to their final location. These structures are often constructed in a factory or manufacturing facility and are designed to be easily assembled on-site.
Prefabricated container offices can be assembled quickly since the majority of the construction work is done off-site. This can significantly reduce the overall construction time compared to traditional building methods.
Prefab containers are generally more cost-effective than traditional construction, as the controlled factory environment allows for efficient use of materials and reduced waste.
Prefabricated container houses are often more affordable than traditional homes. The cost savings come from the efficient use of materials and the streamlined construction process.
Repurposing shipping containers for housing is a sustainable practice as it gives a second life to used containers. Additionally, the controlled manufacturing environment helps minimize waste.
