Container Home Site & Structural Plan
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
This project covers the complete site, architectural, and structural planning for a residential container home that will be occupied year-round. I already know the primary use is Residential, and the building type is a container-based dwelling, so all drawings and calculations must be tailored to steel shipping containers used as a full-time residence.
Scope of work
• Site plan: orientation, setbacks, access, utility runs, drainage, and any required grading.
• Architectural package: dimensioned floor plans, elevations, sections, window/door schedules, and a simple 3-D massing or model to visualise the container layout.
• Structural package: foundation design suitable for containers (slab, piers, or other), connection details between containers, framing modifications for openings, and basic load calculations that satisfy local residential codes.
Deliverables should be provided in PDF for review and in an editable CAD format (DWG or equivalent) for future revisions. Please include any code references or assumptions directly on the sheets so permitting is straightforward.
A concise timeline and a brief outline of the tools you will use (AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, or similar) will help me evaluate the proposal.
