As the cost of housing continues to skyrocket across the United States, the new guide from SeaCanFox is designed for people who are considering switching to a more sustainable, affordable type of home.
Statistics from Allied Market Research show that shipping container homes are a major trend, with the container homes market predicted to reach around $73,070.5 million by 2025. As many Americans turn their attention to the possibility of shipping container housing, the guide from SeaCanFox helps potential home-owners understand some of the laws and regulations for the state of Florida. "With their eco-friendly appeal and modular versatility, shipping container homes are not just a passing trend - they're a lifestyle revolution that's here to stay," explains a spokesperson. "At the same time, zoning laws can be the make-or-break factor, as they determine where you can build, what you can build, and how you can use your property."
Noting that Florida's zoning districts vary widely and use different sets of rules, the guide provides tips for researching zoning classifications, identifying whether or not shipping containers are explicitly mentioned in zoning ordinances, and pinpointing any potential restrictions.
Readers will also get advice on applying for permits that are required when constructing a container home, including building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, septic, and specialized permissions.
SeaCanFox's team of experts explains how to submit zoning applications with plenty of time, as well as how to develop relationships with local building departments, stay organized, and get prepared for potential revisions.
The guide includes information about essential code considerations for shipping container homes, such as foundation specifications, elevation needs, insulation, ventilation, wind resistance, and other factors in meeting the challenges specific to Florida's coastal climate. Tips for hurricane-proofing a container home are listed, like using anchors and fasteners effectively, choosing impact-resistant glass, and selecting an appropriate roofing material.
