Save by building a house from Shipping Containers?

[Andrew N.]

Hey all. This is more of a curiosity question than anything else. I recently saw this link for a number of homes that have been created by recycling Shipping Containers. I was wondering how much the BP community thinks this would have saved on end construction for these unique spec builds on a per sqft basis. I'm assuming you would save on framing etc but would it be that significant? http://news.distractify.com/culture/it-looks-rusty-but-inside-this-shipping-container-is-a-stunning-home/?v=1

There's a group in Denver doing this right now. So cool! Haven't looked much into yet other than reading a few press clippings and checking out the build sites.
