Get a good understanding of all the paperwork that you will need to submit during the application process.
An important requirement is that you will probably be faced with is presenting technical drawings of the shipping container or containers you will be using for the construction.

A physical evaluation of the container may even be required, so to make the process go smoother make sure you have all of this documentation from the supplier when you purchase.
Regulations and requirements may be less stressful if you will be purchasing prefabricated shipping container homes from manufacturers, especially if it is with a locally-based manufacturer with knowledge and experience in the local jurisdiction you will be building on. However, there are not many of these manufacturers yet, so do your due diligence and connect with the proper channels first before making any major decisions regarding your shipping container home project.
