Residential container homes are suitable for residential use and are generally more affordable and relatively quick to build compared to traditional houses. Containers are designed to withstand the harsh conditions at sea and are therefore extremely durable. If properly maintained, container houses can have a long service life and require minimal maintenance. Since the containers are already prefabricated, they can be modified and assembled on site, reducing construction time. 

Use containers as building materials to promote recycling and reduce waste. In addition, modular residential homes can be designed to be energy efficient, utilizing insulation and solar panels, which can reduce environmental impact. Prefab residential homes can be shipped to different places, making them suitable for those who want to move or temporary living arrangements. This flexibility can be beneficial for individuals or families who move frequently or like to travel.
