The information that this book provided was easily digestible, engaging, and created a seamless step by step process that took a concept that at first, seems way too complicated and makes it way more attainable. As someone interested in this topic and is actively looking for ways to cut costs while also living a minimalist lifestyle, this book was just what I needed.
Bottom line every first time home builder should read this even if you plan to use a contractor to do the build itself. Even if you have built before and learned the pitfalls first hand this could help avoid those pitfalls in your next project.

Excellent Book
Reviewed in the United States �������� on December 19, 2022As someone who has always been interested in alternative and sustainable housing options, the idea of building a shipping container home is very appealing to me. The concept of repurposing something that would otherwise go to waste into a functional and comfortable living space is innovative and environmentally friendly.
This book by Dominic Mayers provides a comprehensive guide to building a shipping container home from start to finish. The idea of being able to do so in as little as 9 weeks is impressive, and the fact that the book caters to those with no building experience is a major plus. The inclusion of information on regulations and inspections is important for ensuring that the home is safe and up to code.
I also appreciate that the book covers ways to maintain and prolong the lifespan of the container home, as well as hacks to keep it cozy and comfortable. This is crucial for anyone looking to live in a shipping container home long-term.
Overall, I believe this book would be a valuable resource for anyone interested in building a shipping container home. It provides clear and concise instructions, as well as important information on regulations and maintenance. I would definitely recommend it to others.
