What foundation options are available for shipping container homes?

Our preferred general contractor can help you find and install the right foundation for your container home. The most important element of a container home foundation is that the ground is level. If it is level, a container home can be set there. With that said, we recommend using one of these foundation options: Railroad ties – this is often the least expensive option that can be used as a permanent foundation, and is the ideal option if you would like to move your container home some time in the future. Gravel pads – this option won’t break the bank and is considered a long term, reliable, foundation for container homes. Concrete slab – this is often the most expensive option but also the most air tight when it comes to keeping your container home level and in place.
