Kubed Living FAQs

Do Contained Homes Sit on a Slab Foundation?

A container home can sit on multiple types of foundations:

  • Slab
  • Strip
  • Pier

Pier foundations are the cheapest option, but you can also choose to install your container on a slab if you wish. The slab foundation is more expensive, but since the foundation goes across the entire bottom of the home, the weight is evenly distributed on the foundation.

Are Kubed Homes Eco-Friendly?

Container homes make use of upcycling, in this case, a shipping container, to make it into a home. Shipping containers contain, depending on the size, nearly 3,500kg of steel. If the container is not repurposed, it will sit abandoned.

In this sense, a container home is eco-friendly because you’ll be reusing something rather than allowing the container to go to waste.

For the interior, it depends on your choices if the interior is eco-friendly or not.

What Sizes Are Available?

Containers have a standard width of 8-feet, but the length of the shipping container will vary. The standard-length options are:

  • 20’
  • 40’
  • 45’
  • 53’

Height can be 8 feet or 9.5 feet, but since containers are able to be stacked and fit together like Legos, it’s possible to piece containers together to create a style all your own.

What Areas Does Kubed Living Serve?

Kubed servers the entire continental United States, Canada and the Caribbean. The company has manufacturer facilities across the country, allowing them to offer the same great service from one state to another.

Will My City Allow Container Homes?

Kubed Living container homes are accepted in most cities for commercial projects due to their steel frames. Most steel frame construction is accepted in cities, and the response from most cities is very positive when Kubed contacts them.

Slowly, more and more cities are accepting and welcoming container homes.

When you contact Kubed Living, they’ll help you determine what rules and regulations are in place in your city.

Container home designs are starting to gain popularity, with more residential and commercial buyers looking for homes that are durable and affordable. Spray foam offers top-of-the-line insulation, with 3” foam used on the ceiling, floors and walls of the container to keep the space well-insulated.

Financing Options

Financing a container home build has been routinely difficult, as many lenders didn’t have experience with this type of home. Today, there are some lenders offering construction loans for container home builds.

The construction loan can be rolled into a 30-year mortgage when the construction project is completed.

Other financing options include:

  • Cash
  • Equity lines of credit
  • Personal loans

You’ll want to contact lenders in your area to find out what financing options you have available to you.
