Make sense

What's the cost of constructing a mini flat with these containers? Can I have their contacts please?

agarawu23:
my question too.

Cc millz404

500k is too small for one storey container house...

The cost of 40ft container is about 470k
The cost of 20ft container is about 300k

Cost of hiring a crane for a day could cost up 50k
Insulation of the container and earthing of electrical wires
Painting with Marine coating paint (Very expensive)

This container house is expensive compared to building a conventional house.

I just fear fashola electric shock through iron

Risk of Electric Shock, Heat and Cold.

if naked wire wey light dey just touch dat thing ehhh i reserve my comment

I heard dat a bus ticket from Gwagwalada to hell fire costs just N20.
Try ds container ideology there, lets see what happens?

this type of building is used in some very few offices where I work and they have stood the test of time , most factors raised ere are not an issue, they have wire connections, all insulated, no fear of heat or cold...if this can b effectively replicated even if not for sale but for rent rent as to reduce the cost of getting accommodation it will still save cost abit...

Was he planning on building a bread oven but changed plan?

What's the cost of construction for 2/3bedroom? are u anywhere near Abuja/Delta ?

macanu:
do u HV their contact or it ur work,u can mail it here elijahmack077@gmail.com

we build container cabin homes. See www.rapidcabin.com.
Insulation using Rockwool, polysterene , polyurethane is done to reduce heat

Very practical for use as office buildings as they are even easy to put together within short space of time and are also a very good way of reusing the containers.
But as place of residence, for me, that's a no. And there are so many reasons why it isn't acceptable not excluding the fact that someone can come and carry me and my house to another location while I'm asleep as someone pointed out earlier.

Oyinbo sytle

NTA on Victoria Island built such houses used for office.

You definitely gonna have the container walls insulated.

I tot of wooden finishiing as wellm but realised the imminent danger with kids playing with candles or matches

clydedaniels:
Abeg I want one.. the hous them too fine...

B/w the metals can be insulated using wooden finishing..

You (or your enemies) can also easily dismantle and carry your house to the village....

why waste cash on it then even with many disadvantage

U r correct. But u can easily devift they r containers. However with these above pics the outer walls r so smooth u cant tell they r containers without being told.

This is what most of the office buildings at my place of work are made of.

Do u know the price of a 40f mpty container?? Quite ecpensive

namuguibe:
Though not novel, this is a good way of repurposing used shipping containers.

There is a general hospital in my home town, Ikwo~Ebonyi built by Babangida, it is constructed with metals all over, with marble floor, flowers and other ornamental trees around it, and is relatively cool, no too much heat or cold, if u don't pay close attention to it, u will think that it is a brick house, it is all assembled and looks very aesthetic like the house, u see on movies.

You cracked my ribs . Though I'm seriously thinking of getting one as a living house but with this your analysis maybe I will just change my mind.

As long as it is safe, it's okay. Nice.

That will generate a lot of heat in the house.

I prefer cold constantly...at least, I would be forced to go marry

But if the heat in this thing hit you, walahi, you no need vegetables oil to fry the two eggs in between

is it really possible as the op said, that 500k can put up a two bedroom flat?

also, in ur expert opinion, what minimal amount can complete any basic form of two bedrooms flat say in Abuja or lagos, all things being equal.

thanks

Lol, you should if it appeals to you. That comment was just for laughs, on a more serious note, it won't be that easy for a crane to pick it up because it will be secured with a foundation.
