Came across a Kenyan company that converts the regular 20ft and 40ft containers into homes,shops etc in a very creative way.

More.

WOW!

This is a good one
Low cost housing

This is beautiful. i once watched on tv, a documentary of containers used to build 2 or more story buildings in d uk and were very fascinating.

Converted to shops.

Living spaces.

These are lovely. Thank @ op. This idea really came at d right time. Please I would like to have an idea of d cost of the container.

I do not presently know the going rates for containers.

Well, we wish we could but for the high cost of securing the containers.

This is creativity! So lovely!

These are really lovely. I remember staying in such a structure during NYSC days some years back & to be honest it's very cute.

But, such adaptation does not come cheap in Nigeria. I remember contacting a company here in Nigeria doing the same thing & the price I got is as good as building a brand new boungalow with brick & mortar.

Why are we always paying exhorbitant prices for everything in Nigeria?

That is our sad reality. Some firms are into hiring out the accommodation made from these containers to foreign organizations who are visiting Kenya for projects. Some Organizations need to stay for weeks in the wild to research and record wildlife, so such containers homes are transported to those locations and after their usage they are transported out of the place!

Fine arrangement

This looks Woow

We have been converting containers to container cabins since the year 2000. Some ATM kiosks are also made of shipping container shell.
We also have units for selfcon,1bdr,2bdrand 3bedroom.

Our selfcon goes for N4.5million for 3 units of semidetached.

Wow! Nice one. Hope not too pricy

Very nice.

So thats 3 self cons if i understand your post,right?

Yes. 3 units of selfcon cost N4.5 million.

What is the size of the room, toilet/shower and kitchen?

Each selfcon is approx 19 sqm. The room is 10 sqm with its toilet/bath. the rest 9m2 is for kitchen and corridor. The size can be increased by 10% without a commensurate increase in cost. Will post full details in a new trade soon

no doubt, this is creativity at work.......ideas = business = profit..

coming up with a concept that makes this much more affordable is no doubt a good business to behold of for any interested investor/entrepreneur.

Hello pls where can I get a container to use for a buka.....do not need pumped ones ooo.....just normal container.and what do I do to reduce the heat ...I know its padded with wood....how much does this cost...

Too expensive. Also you have environmental agencies to worry about. In Abuja, it's an easy ticket for agents to continually extort owners.

It most ideal for temporary office in a project sites

so lovely lovely lovely

Very creative!

I'm sure many welders here in Nigeria can construct something like this. It's just that theirs will be only bungalow structures and won't be as strong as these cargo-container type.

it's always good to be creative
