Container house builders?
#5
I'm guessing they just do a stud frame inside the container and then go like usual, but that's gonna take out about 8" out of an already too narrow room. Maybe if they'd use a 2" x 2" stud frame they'd still have room for plumbing & electrical behind the walls and have something to hang drywall on.

I don't have the numbers to determine load capacity of steel walls, not sure how to calculate required braced walls, etc. so it's not a project I want to deal with. Plus, IMHO, the end result is more expensive and more effort than stick building - at least, if you pick the right sticks. It's also too limiting because of the size of the containers, but again, it's not my project.
