Our container home are built using steel pipes instead of wood noggins. Wood noggins tend to give way due to insect infestation. We also use full wall and ceiling insulation.
We also use Nigerian made cables as our 2 bdr container homes comes with 3 toilets and 2 baths and come ready to use.

Bros, things are not done this way, you can't flood someone's thread with adverts and pictures, space full everywhere, create your own thread.

Seconded...
Chairman, it would be nice we apply some civility and courtesy here. Create your own beautiful thread and bombard it with pics and ads, we would happily check in and follow (as the spirit leads).

Look at this design that can be done I think with a 40 footer and 20 foot container.

it will be too hot, why not build everything from wood.

I would love to build with wood too, and I've looked into it somewhat. However, finding wood that is not warped is very very difficult in Nigeria. If you find it, it's also extremely expensive. We don't have enough people who understand how to build well with wood so it deals with the contraction and expansion of the changing seasons (hot, humid, cold, dry). I admire that the OP is using wood for the sidings... I'm curious to see how it will wear with time...

A lot of us in the construction/properties section have long been wishing for alternative methods of building, apart from the usual concrete blocks, and this is a valuable learning experience. It may not have all what we wished for, but it's a very welcome alternative.

OP: where did you get those wood 2x4s you're using as siding for the building and flower beds? Looks nice and straight?

you are right, the way this kind structures are built in other parts of the world is faster, concrete blocks are quite unnecessary sometimes. I suppose some innovative solutions from locally available resources that is cost effective is always welcomed. However, I will be interested to know the average cost for these relative to other methods within Nigeria and in other countries.

Bros, I deliberately refused to comment. I don't want to develop high-blood pressure over the events in the Nigerian oil sector. Am still too young, abeg! cheesy
