The average price of a 20ft used shipping container is around $4000-5000AUD and a new container costs around $5000-6000 [2]. Transportation costs vary depending on location, however once the container is on your land, what you do with the container, how fancy you make it and how much you spend on it is up to you.
From those looking for a container home to live in permanently to those who want an office space in their garden or a holiday rental – container homes offer great flexibility. You can stack them together or use them individually. Container Homes offer a reasonably cheap and easy way to construct a home as the main structure is already there. The structure may need reinforcing if the container is going to be chopped about a lot and an Engineer will need to sign off on any alterations.
