The design of homes is undergoing a transformation. An increasing number of individuals are searching for innovative living solutions. Homes that are aesthetically pleasing, uncomplicated, and economically viable. This is the ideal scenario for container homes and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units).
The concepts both prioritize intelligent space utilization, expeditious construction, and eco-friendly living. At Ceed Civil Engineering, we assist in the transformation of these innovative concepts into safe and beautiful structures that are designed for today’s engineering challenges.
what are adus container homes?
ADUs are self-contained living quarters such as backyard studios, guest houses, or converted garages that are secondary to the main residence on a property. It is a beneficial means of gaining additional living quarter space or generating rental revenue without purchasing additional real estate.
Container homes are the opposite, as they are constructed of large, steel, intermodal shipping containers, which are used to ship goods internationally. They are a very interesting option for today’s homeowners, as they are strong, fire resistant, and very customizable.
Container houses of various sizes, including large, multi-unit container homes, have been designed by us. At Ceed Civil Engineering, we concurrently designed container homes, portable housing, and event spaces, as well as emergency shelters, starting with used shipping containers.
Big probability can emerge from small backyards ADU or bold container homes.
why they are gaining popularity
The construction of these new structures is awesome and also very affordable compared to the older more traditional designs. They are also more kind to the environment. Building and moving into a container home can cost 40% less and take much less time than a traditional home.
ADUs also have the same appeal to homeowners whether it be for trading flexibility, space for family, a home office, or steady rental income. These units have also been made more flexible with modern, frustrating zoning laws in most states of the US.
Design is also a huge factor. These ADUs and home containers have a clean design and can either be modernist or more luxurious, depending solely on the user’s needs.
The new era of living is a space with smart design. An environment that adapts to you, not the other way around.
the engineering and planning challenges
Although the projects may seem short and simple, the engineering and planning required is far from simple and takes real expertise. Every container and ADU has to conform to the local building codes, structural requirements, and safety standards.
For container homes, stacking boxes is the least of the worries. Reinforcement, precise cutting, insulation, and plans for the foundation need to be on point. The roof type, load-bearing capacity, and placement of the roof are all very important. Structural safety is key and Ceed Civil Engineering is sure that any modifications made, whether it be walls or roofs, are safe.
ADUs are no walk in the park either. We get it, it is the permits, site conditions, utility connections, and structural calculations that really bring the projects to a halt at the planning phase. We provide our expertise to guide the homeowner in each step to smoothen the planning phase and make it less prone to delays.
