On Maui, Our Local  Distributor is Derek Miller

Aloha! My name is Derek and I am a survivor of the fire that changed all of our lives forever. I was barely able to escape from downtown and help some others get out as well. Like you: I lost my business and my home. The biggest question is, where we all go from here? Where do we live while we rebuild …?


Shipping container homes are an affordable, sustainable, turnkey ready option for Maui fire victims like myself. All of our shipping container homes are warrantied for one year. I'd love to sit down and see if a shipping container home makes sense for you.


Blessings, Derek

Why Choose a Shipping Container Home?

Shipping containers are renowned for their robust construction, designed to weather extreme conditions. This durability is a significant advantage for those looking for disaster-proof housing, as opposed to stick built tiny homes or flimsy flat-pack or pop-out homes imported from China.


Shipping containers are built to withstand the harshest environments, enduring high winds and heavy seas during transport. This inherent toughness means they can provide secure and stable homes on land, resistant to storms, pests, and other potential intrusions, providing peace of mind for those looking for a safe and reliable home.


In terms of stability, these containers are over-engineered for residential use, allowing for modifications like windows and doors without compromising structural integrity. They're also made to last, with new units expected to serve for 20 to 30 years with minimal maintenance, and even used ones can continue to be viable with proper care.


Maintaining a shipping container home involves regular inspections and timely repairs, such as painting to prevent rust and adding cladding to extend its lifespan. While modifications are often necessary for conversion into living spaces, it's crucial to consult with engineers to ensure that the structural strength remains intact.


Overall, shipping containers offer an excellent option for those needing a durable, long-lasting, and secure home solution, especially in areas prone to environmental disasters. This resilience ensures that even as a temporary solution, you can have a sturdy and protective abode while you plan your permanent rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you relocate a shipping container home?

    Shipping containers are inherently designed for transport. Born from the necessity to ship goods across oceans and continents, these steel boxes are crafted to be moved efficiently. When transformed into homes, they retain this essential quality. Unlike traditional homes, container homes can be easily loaded onto a truck or a ship, ready for their next destination. Once your land is cleared and infrastructure is restored, your shipping container home can be easily moved to your original lot or a new location.


  • How long do they take to set up?

    The straightforward foundation requirements of container homes allow for rapid deployment. Your home can be built off site and then delivered to your property, set on various temporary foundations so it is functional and hooked up to utilities in a matter of days from delivery.

  • Do you offer off-grid packages for shipping container homes?

    Yes, we do offer off-grid packages for shipping container homes. Our off-grid solutions are designed to provide you with a self-sufficient living space, integrating renewable energy sources, water collection systems, and waste management techniques. These packages can be customized to meet your specific needs, ensuring that your container home is not only environmentally friendly but also fully functional without reliance on traditional utility services. Whether you're looking to live sustainably in a remote location or simply aiming to reduce your ecological footprint, our off-grid packages can help you achieve a comfortable and sustainable lifestyle in your shipping container home.
