Shipping Container Office Building
I got an interesting email the other day from a Vic Cherubini, a subscriber in Spring, Texas. He wanted to tell me about a project he’d been working on for more than a year which was inspired by stories in FARM SHOW about farmers using shipping containers as storage sheds.
Vic owns a company called Epic Software that needed a new home. He wanted it to be a place that would be exciting and inspiring to work in. So he drew up plans for a building made from 11 full-sized shipping containers, stacked in a U-shape with a trussed open space at the center. Vic and his group of vendors and contractors spent months planning the job before ever getting started. A concrete foundation was poured and the units – which were purchased for $2,400 apiece – were thoroughly cleaned and painted inside and out.
Every step of the project has been documented at the company’s blog, with hundreds of pics and lots of details about what went right and what went wrong (http://epicsoftware.com/index.php/blog/list_by_category/41/). Epic Software moved into the building this summer.
