Container Houses: A Modern Modular Housing Solution

Container houses are innovative residential structures made from repurposed shipping containers, typically standard 20-foot or 40-foot steel units. These modular buildings combine sustainability with cost-efficiency, offering a fast, flexible, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional construction.
