Looking for Shipping container knowledge

[Daniel Lioz]

I have been seeing a lot of very nicely priced converted CONEX shipping container offices and homes on sale during this economy and also due to current economy nice falling prices for land.  I wanted to see if I get a good deal on both, how do I connect the converted shipping container to the utilities?  Electrical and Water/sewer?  In most of Houston, there is no zoning, so if I get a nice land and can easily put two or three offices for half a price of a single structure and rent them at half the cost of a regular small office, or buy a knock down house, level it and put up converted containers on it, possibly even add self storage components.  I am looking for some guidance on connecting and also on the price I might be looking at for these connections to utilities?  The land, the containers, the land prep, I got that covered.  Thank you!
