If you want to build it yourself, the first thing you want to know is the price of such a container. As we said, we're not specialists, but we searched the net and found some information about the shipping container costs. First of all keep in mind that the price will vary depending on the source, size and condition of the container.

The good news is that new and used shipping containers are available everywhere. You can try for yourself to search the net and see what you can find or you can check the local papers for classified ads. Maybe there's a company near you that has shipping containers for sale and you don't even know.

Of course, used shipping container costs are the smallest because used containers are being liquidated at bargain prices to make room for new ones.

Beside the price of the container itself you must take into consideration other costs as well:

• transportation and handling;
• modifications that include but are not limited to: cutting, insulating, connecting to the electrical and water infrastructures.

Our first intention was to draw a table with container manufacturers and their prices. In the end we will give you only a list of manufacturers and other sources as well from where you can buy new and used containers. We decided to do so because:

• you must request a quote;
• the price may vary according to the number of containers you want to buy, your location, their size and condition, various modifications you want.

As a rule of thumb you may expect a price of 1500-2000$ for a new standard 40' container, without any modifications, transport and handling included.You can check our list in the resources section.
