In a home where four containers are to sit side by side, all but the outermost side panels are removed so that, once connected, the ISBUs create an open 40′ x 32′ interior space. Once there, the house blueprints are reviewed and each unit is custom-fit for construction. TAW starts by shipping the containers to their Tampa factory for modifications. When opting to build with ISBUs, the building blocks are readymade and ready to transport. They used four 40′ x 8′ x 8′ ISBUs laid side-by-side to create a three-bedroom home, measuring 1,280 square feet, without a hint of its original corrugated-steel exterior of the container.
In North Charleston, SC, Tampa Armature Works (TAW) and local contractors quickly and easily constructed a container house, blending it perfectly into the surrounding neighborhood. They can be used to build an average-sized home with almost no wood. These intermodal steel building units (ISBUs) are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment so they are standardized and reliable. Shipping container homes, also called storage container homes, offer a fast, green, and sustainable approach to building.
