how the presence of the container down there benefits you
Depends how the container(s) are used, whether their cost-benefit ratio exceeds that of other construction methods (eg, post-n-pier for an 8' platform), and depending how the containers are purchased.
Random datapoint: last time I was on the mainland, I saw sliding glass doors for $150 at a surplus warehouse -- maybe this doesn't work out "cheaper" with shipping, but it could make for an interesting glass house.
