Whatever your shipping container building plans are, figuring out where to begin can be daunting. After modifying shipping containers into structures for over a decade, we’ve observed that customers have the most success when their architect, engineer, container module manufacturer, local coding official, and contractor all communicate early and often. This is true for all construction projects, but it’s particularly important for container structures because they’re still relatively new to the construction world. Learn who you need to consult to have a successful shipping container project with our slideshare.
