40ft Shipping Container Home
40ft Shipping Container Home
Our 40ft shipping container homes are highly customizable and can accommodate almost anything you can dream up.
Your options are limitless, including the interior and exterior.
Want a rooftop terrace, a covered front porch, or full wrap-around porch? How about multiple containers combined into a custom configuration? What about floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire facade? No problem.
Our shipping container homes use SIP panels vs drywall for the insulation. Why? Because it's a much better insulator, provides far superior noise dampening, and is far more durable than drywall.
Our standard 40' shipping container home includes one bedroom, a full-size bathroom with a walk-in shower, dual vanity, and commode, and full size kitchen. Starting price is $89,000, and can include options such as a full wrap-around and/or covered porch, rooftop terrace, exterior mood lighting, french or sliding glass doors, interior pocket doors, and much more.
Exterior colors are limitless. We can provide our standard colors upon request, or you can bring your favorite color to us and we can match it for you.
The interior layout is also fully customizable; from bedrooms and bathrooms, to kitchens and living spaces, we can create whatever you have in mind.
We also use new shipping containers, not used or refurbished. All of our shipping containers are built from scratch at the time you place your order, and all work is performed in our factory, in a climate controlled environment.
Drywall will easily crack during the shipping process, whereas SIP panels cannot crack. They're made out of sheet metal panels on the exterior, and the insulation is typically rockwool or polyeurethane, which, as an added bonus, is also fireproof and dramatically reduces issues with insects.
Take a look at some of the options we can accommodate with our shipping containers, and get in touch with us to discuss your project.
*Build time averages 8-10 weeks, with another 4-6 weeks needed for shipping preparation and delivery. Total time (average) from the time you place your order, to the time it arrives on site is roughly 90 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these be customized?
Yes! We can customize these structures quite a bit. So, make sure and ask us before you place your order what can be done with these inside the climate-controlled factory.
You can move windows around, switch up where your bedroom door is, or install some extra sliding glass doors—totally doable.
Thinking about a mini-kitchen or a bathroom? You got it. You can even add or knock down walls to divide up rooms or make one big open space.
When it comes to making the place truly yours, a custom floor plan is the way to go.
Heads up, though: messing with electrical and plumbing isn't as easy.
The electrical stuff is all linked together from the outside, and plumbing hooks up at specific inlets and outlets. So, a bit more set in stone there.

How soon can these be ready to occupy?
You can connect an extension cord within minutes of receiving your structure, and it's ready for your laptop, tv, and coffee maker.
If I order one today, when will I receive it?
Assuming we have one in stock that fits your criteria, about 4-6 weeks. It's possible we have one or more in stock at any given time, but these are usually customer orders.
We try to have demo models available at all times, but we tend to sell these same-day as well.
Our basic units are built in our factory overseas then shipped in bulk to our main hub in Mooresville, NC and other spots around the U.S. If you're nearby, we might be able to get one out to you ASAP.
Out of stock or want something special? No sweat, but you're looking at a 12 to 16-week wait after you put down your deposit. And that's not counting the time it takes to actually get it to your site, weather willing.
Just so you know, some of our extra options might take a little longer, depending on what's in stock.
What I order one today and change my mind before it ships?
You have 24-hours from the time you place your order to change your mind, or your order. After that, it's a custom unit, and we can't reverse course at the factory.
Please perform your due diligence BEFORE you place your order for this reason.
Do you include any appliances with these units?
The listed price does not include appliances, including Heat/AC, or furniture.
However, we do sell Heat/AC split systems that can be factory installed, plus furniture options and solar panels.
How does shipping work?
We can ship your structure (virtually) anywhere in the continental U.S.
Shipping is calculated based on distance from the port, so be sure to let us know where this unit is going and we'll provide you with a price.
Do you help with the installation?
If you live within 25-miles of Charlotte, NC, we can provide setup assistance for an additional fee based on the complexity of your structure.
For our foldable or flatpack containers, we can set them up and deliver it already fully assembled for an additional charge.
If you live outside of our radius, we will provide clear instructions, including videos to help you with the setup process of your structure.
If you're not very "hands-on" with these types of projects, we advise you to hire a contractor or handyman to help you with the installation and setup.
Do I need to get a permit for this structure?
Our container homes are more like temporary getaways, not (necessarily) your forever home.
Every local government has their own rules about what counts as a "temporary home," so give your local city hall a ring to get the lowdown before you drop any cash on a Bullish Structure.
