Overall, container homes, whether recycled shipping containers or prefab containers, can be more cost-effective than traditional homes. They can also be significantly cheaper to maintain. Expect 15% to 50% cost savings from a traditional concrete house to a container house.

In the US, you can purchase a container house for as low as $10,000 or $119 per square foot. A luxury, small container home costs $35,000. Bigger container homes can cost you $185,000.

Container homes also require less labor and building materials to fabricate and install, with welding materials being the most needed in the building process.

A luxurious yet small container home may cost as much as $35,000. Larger options may cost up to $185,000 and up. For example, Stackhouse Container Homes can build you a 2-story container house with roof deck for a minimum of $200,000.
