3.Quick FAQ: Is This Legal?
Yes—but check your local rules first! Most US states, EU countries, and Australian cities allow container homes, but you’ll need a building permit (just like any home). Focus on:
• Insulation (for extreme weather: add spray foam or rigid insulation).
• Foundation (a gravel pad or concrete blocks work for most areas).
