Advantages of Container Modification Structures
 
1. Durability and strength
    Shipping containers can be an ideal building material. They are designed to carry heavy loads and to be stacked in high columns. They are also designed to resist harsh environments, such as on ocean-going vessels or sprayed with road salt while transported on roads.

2. Construction costs
    The welding and cutting of steel is considered to be specialized labor and can increase construction expenses, yet overall it is still lower than conventional construction.
 
3. Ease of transportation to site
    Pre-fabricated modules can also be easily transported by ship, truck, or rail, because they already conform to standard shipping sizes.

4. Easily available
    Used shipping containers are widely available in Kenya more so as the country's appetite to import grows at a breakneck speed.

5. Cost of container is reasonable
    Many used containers are available at an amount that is low compared to a finished structure built by other labor-intensive means such as bricks and mortar — which also require larger more expensive foundations. Construction involves very little labor and used shipping containers requiring only simple modification can be purchased from major transport companies for as little as US $1,200 each.

6. Foundations are easy with containers
    Containers are designed to be supported by their four corners making a very simple foundation possible. Also the top four corners are very strong as they are intended to support a stack of other containers.

7. Good for the environment
    A 40ft shipping container weights over 3,500KG. When upcycling shipping containers, thousands of kilograms of steel are saved. In addition when building with containers, the amount of traditional building materials needed (i.e. bricks and cement) are dramatically reduced.

Good luck and may the structure you have in mind one day rank amongst the best container modifications in Kenya.
