Don’t underestimate the ability of the average diy person. I did all of my own and my contractor that I hired for my trusses asked me who I subbed my drywall work from, he wanted their number. He was stunned when I said I did it myself. I saved thousands. I got free louvered doors from Craigslist. I also scored the cabinets and bathroom vanity. A 1980s mobile home was being scrapped out. It’s amazing what chalk paint and Amazon hardware can do to old cabinets . I got the 200 amp breaker box for $25. Also the propane/ gas furnace was available for $100.00 and the blower motor was only a year old. Y’all ought to help save the planet by up cycling everything, not just the container. Imagine the horror of solid oak cabinets going into a landfill!😱

You are right about the high cost on shipping containers. I live in Puerto Rico and im about to embark on my first container home on a beautiful price of land I bought up in the mountains.

So many people say that container homes are a scam. I dont believe this at all. This guys makes them right and lays out costs. Built right,container homes are strong, mobile,attractive, and last a lifetime. What else can you build for the price. And remember, the container is only the "shell" , really have to frame out with metal and wood to be structurally sound.

Hi Stuart, thank you for your video, 40ft Shipping Container Home | 2022 TOTAL COST Breakdown. We have a total of 420 zoned lots averaging 3,200 sq ft. which we are selling in Alberta, Canada. The infrastructure for Phase 1 has been completed for 150 fully serviced lots (water, sewer and power.) Plus many resort style amenities. Traditionally, RV owners would be the ones buying the titled lots but container homes are now competitively priced with park & destination trailers. Living in the suburbs of Calgary when not on site, I can say that the price increases for the container homes (320 sq ft) are an advantage over the infill homes (1,800+ sq ft) here priced at $750k. Thank you for sharing your pricing details.

Why not invest in building the louvered pocket doors rather than buying complete? Tooling is a one time big cost that your company invests in, and materials/labor would be significantly less than buying prebuilt. Eventually you’d pay off the cost of machinery (not even expensive) and just turn profit from there while lowering cost to customer.

You need special equipment to install a mini-split properly or it won't work and you'll need to hire the professional to get it fixed and pay maybe double then. Not everyone knows a HVAC professional. So YMMV but that can be asking for trouble if not done right the first time... While there's also the fact, depending on your state and local rules, that some jobs may be required by law to be done by a licensed professional. So, again, YMMV... Along with the shortages of people in the trades, having someone you know who is in them and in the specific trade you need may be harder for some than others, and it doesn't automatically mean knowing somebody will get you a better deal either or that they won't be so busy that they can spare time to help you...
