A sustainable building starts even before construction with the choice of less aggressive, durable materials that require the least possible impact to obtain them.
The possibilities for container construction are endless, we develop projects and build services for the industry, services, commerce and residential sectors.
Understand how it works and the advantages of modular construction.
No! The container undergoes a very elaborate treatment, receiving layers of thermal insulation, which guarantees the internal temperature, regardless of the external one.
No, marine containers, used for construction, are made of a type of steel resistant to rain, strong winds and bad weather. And with the materials used in the adaptation, they also become extremely resistant to corrosion.
One of the main characteristics of the construction and container is the flexibility and versatility, the modules are allocated and molded according to the project, here at Ekontainers we add significant value in finishing, which is certainly one of our great differentials.
It is cheaper
Construction is industrialized, carried out within the factory, optimizing material resources and workers. In addition, it is a sustainable, clean construction and can therefore be up to 35% cheaper than conventional construction.
It’s faster
Since construction with containers is done inside the factory, with a specialized production team that optimizes resources, this can make it up to 5 times faster than conventional construction.
It is sustainable
Starting with the reuse of the container that is discarded and turns into garbage after the useful life of the cargo. The construction is clean, almost does not generate waste, there is the possibility to easily put a green roof, make water reuse, use solar panels for renewable energy and use other sustainable construction techniques.
It’s stylish
We all have the dream of a charming house or a nice office inside us. The challenge is to make this dream what we call cost-benefit. In other words, a stylish property for less than many would imagine.
Is different
For those who have a business, a store, a restaurant, an inn, always need to have differentials to stand out in their market. Here is a great reason to love containers. As it is a different, innovative and sustainable construction, you will have many subjects to draw attention to you.
It’s tough
Marine containers, used for construction, are made of a type of steel resistant to rain, strong winds and bad weather. And using suitable material it is also resistant to corrosion.
It’s versatile
Do you want an industrial style building? Leave your containers in the natural color, do not put plaster and leave the cables of the electrical network exposed. Do you want a saw-style construction? Make a lining with wood in your containers. As it is a thermal insulating material it helps not to heat up or cool down inside the house. Or has your desire always been a large house with a lot of clarity? Use and abuse of cutouts in containers. Place glasses for clarity and attach them to double or triple the internal space.
It’s green
What are we doing to contribute to social and environmental responsibility? In container construction, practices are many. In addition to reusing the container itself, it is possible to prepare your property for water reuse. Civil construction works in Brazil generate 84 million cubic meters of waste every year and only 17 million cubic meters are used. The construction with containers is extremely clean and the amount of waste is practically brought to zero.
It is flexible
You are newlywed and do not need more than a small house to live. Or you have become an entrepreneur and want a small space for you and your 3 employees to work. In both cases the idea is that later on, your family will grow, your company will prosper and have many employees. Container construction has this flexibility. You start with one container, then you can attach another and then stack another… all without the need for major renovations.
It’s mobile
You buy a house and invest your savings to make it your own. Or the same goes for your rented office for example. But 1 year has passed, things have changed and you need to change cities. What to do? Try to find another space for you to put everything back together with your face and that you can still fit your furniture just right. With a container house, you just need to find the ideal land, which, if rented, is still cheaper. The container house / office goes assembled, ready, with your face, on the cart. That simple.
