Here’s a slide show of the transformation from shipping container to complete house.
“The SG Blocks building system is one of the most amazing modular construction products that I have ever seen. I am trained as an architect, but have been producing construction tradeshows since 1980. When we asked their company to set up a model home inside the Washington, DC Convention Center last December, they showed us just how rapidly they could deploy, construct and have the structure occupied. They sent four flatbed trucks, each with a pre-built container, and had two cranes at the center at 7 am. By 5pm the same day, the house was up and carpenters and decorators were adding the finishing touches. Since so much of the building could be fitted-out in a climate controlled warehouse prior to arrival at our tradeshow site, SG Blocks demonstrated to us just how versatile, sustainable, and cost-effective their solution is. And on top of all that, the house was very attractive. We have asked them back to build another show house for December 2008, and cannot wait to see what they do this year!”
