I built a permitted house based around 4 40' containers in Hawaiian Beaches. It was the first one to be bonded by HPM. In the end, it ended up costing more per sf. than typical wood construction. We put a full roof overhead to shed water and keep it cool. Without a roof, water pooled on top, ran down the sides and came in the windows. The initial design could have been improved to make running electric lines easier but it was still a lot of work compared to traditional housing.
