Top 10 Advantages – Modular Steel Container Buildings

1.Affordable

Cost effective high-quality steel construction, along with schedule savings, creating a faster return on investment, and savings on construction financing costs. Savings on expensive site labour in remote areas.

2.Fast

Projects typically completed 30% - 50% sooner than conventional construction.

3.Quality

Constructed in a controlled indoor facility. No bad weather to deal with, consistent shop quality from in-house journeymen

4.Safe

Fire proof, extreme weather resistance, engineered for high wind and snow loads, mold and mildew resistant

5.Precise

ISO containers (intermodal) have standard dimensions and inherent strength making them an ideal modular structural component. Engineered to exact specifications, the steel modules fit together with precision and remain rigid for the life of the building

6.Strength

Heavy-gauge Cor-ten Steel (tough weather resisting steel) gives greater structural integrity, far stronger and more durable than conventional wood-frame buildings

7.Green

Environment friendly, sustainable, re-purposing of surplus shipping containers

8.Design

Allows for custom-built innovative design, offering turn-key design-build projects. The modular approach enable the projects to be scalable and expandable, allowing for staging, phasing in and future expansion

9.Portability

Transported on standard existing networks (no expensive wide loads with pilot-cars etc.), Intermodal containers are rail, truck or ship transportable modules that are simply assembled on site

10.Energy efficient

Highly insulated, steel-stud framing with polyurethane spray-foam insulation gives a High-R-Value, giving excellent thermal and sound resistance
