Interest is starting to grow for using shipping containers for buildings or houses, as the coast or conventional constructions grows.  Containers are low cost and in abundant supply. Your imagination can run wild. It is like playing with Legos. Some of the benefits of building with shipping containers are low cost, short construction time, perfect for multi-storied building, and high structural strength. 

I have found that the containers have another name. They also are called connex containers. It is the same type container.
