One of the most common questions I get about shipping container homes is how much they cost. The answer is the same as the answer any other home builder would give: it depends. A shipping container home can be built for a lot less money than a traditional home, but that’s not to say that all shipping container homes are inexpensive. You can make your home as elaborate and large as you want, and as the size and complexity goes up, so does the cost.
That said, if your aim is to build a home as inexpensively as possible, you can complete your shipping container home for anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000. The lower figure assumes that you buy just one small, used shipping container and do a lot of the work yourself. Let’s break down the numbers a little more.
