The first major benefit of a containerwoning? “The speed of construction,” says David, general and commercial director at Budé. “As soon as your permit is in order, you are completely finished house after about three months on your construction yard. The construction process you can each day to follow in the construction industry. And in the meantime you can make the connections for electricity, water and gas all construction at the site. So you lose even less time. The house on your land to install, lasts for one or up to two weeks. A traditional home construction, you rarely less than half a year’s time.”
Original architecture for the same price

With containers you can create architectural pearls. “The Flemish landscape full of the traditional square and rectangular boxes with little architectural value,” says David. “With the self-supporting steel structures of containers make floating parts, excellent elements, and other cool things. For the same money that you to a standard thirteen-in-a-dozen house spend, you build something original and unique.”

Once your extra module is, of course. In addition, the modern architecture perfectly with an existing standard home. With containers, you can build in stages: as a young couple let you have a plan drawing that you first 60% run. Expand you and your family after a while? Order the rest of it. And afterwards, you can that module moving again. A container can also be used as kangoeroewoning, but count on a solid cost. Extra floors on a building.”
