Buy a Shipping Container to Live or Work In

Love the idea of a tiny shipping container home? How about a shipping container mansion, made out of several containers either stacked (shipping containers have the strength and functionality to be stacked eight-high) or spread out (we have joining facilities available as well). If you’re planning something grand, an architect and container specialist builder is recommended (and don’t forget about council regulations either). However, if you’re looking for something a little simpler, like a granny flat, guest accommodation, teenage retreat, studio, holiday retreat or home office/workshop/ check out our fantastic range of pre-built accommodation. We think you’ll be surprised at the great designs available – and the low cost!

Council Regulations for Shipping Containers

Different councils around Australia have different rules regarding shipping containers on residential properties, so making sure you check what’s allowed or not is pretty crucial! A quick chat to your local council should be able to give you all the information you need to tick this box, though. And the vast majority of councils are fine with you having a shipping container on your property.

Getting your Container Delivered to Your Home

Given their size and weight, arranging the delivery of a shipping container may seem alarming; but don’t panic! Shipping containers were designed for transportation, and our drivers are very experienced in loading, unloading and delivering shipping containers. We will have a chat and determine the best method of delivering your shipping container to you. The trickiest part for you is making sure that the site is prepared (in a flat position, and with footings if you want the container to be off the ground) and that there is adequate access to your property.

Buy a Shipping Container to Store All Your Stuff

If you’re planning on heading around the country in a caravan, you could get a house-sitter to come and look after your stuff. Or you could store it all and rent out your property – hello free holiday! Obviously this doesn’t work out so well if you have pets that need looking after too. But if there are no pets and kids to worry about, or you can inveigle a friend or family member into sharing their home with a cuddly cat (you can probably take the dog) then using a shipping container to store all your belongings while you rent out your house is definitely worth a thought. Shipping containers are also perfect for storage of any tools or toys that you have so that you can use the garage for your car (or as a workshop). Also useful on farms and properties for storage of equipment and supplies.

Shipping Container Classrooms, Studios, Workshops

Schools and community centres can also benefit from the convenience and utility that a shipping container brings. If a sudden influx of students or the introduction of some new courses or popular programs cause over-crowding, a shipping container may just well be a great (temporary or permanent) solution. We can provide extra classrooms, science labs, workshops and craft centres…whatever is required. Fully insulated and air-conditioned, they can be fitted out to your exact requirements, and make a great extra work space.

Shipping Container Accommodation for the Tourist Trade

Do you have a business that caters to tourists? Caravan parks, holiday parks and farm-style accommodation providers can all benefit from the convenience of shipping container accommodation. Many backpackers just want a basic place to sleep that doesn’t cost the earth and are happy to do without the flourishes – a bunk style container is perfect for this situation, and doesn’t need to be flash. Having said that, shipping container accommodation is very fashionable now, so you can make them very stylish. Travelers enjoy staying in something a little different, and shipping containers can be a fun and funky form of accommodation. Whatever form of shipping container accommodation you decide upon, we can help create it for you.

Emergency Shelter Shipping Container Accommodation

Natural disasters can happen anywhere. Here in Victoria we may not suffer too many earthquakes, but storms, floods and bushfire are all to common realities. Easily transported and easily removed, prefabricated accommodation shipping containers are a speedy and versatile solution for when emergency housing is required. At Shipping Containers Melbourne, we have a range of accommodation containers ready to go. We can also supply remote ablution blocks which don’t require power or water.

So What Does it Cost to Buy a Shipping Container?

It really depends on the shipping container, and what you are planning to use it for. If you’re buying a used container to use as a shed or storage on your property it will cost around two or three thousand dollars. A new, basic residential container cabin comes in at under $10,000.
