The Future of Building with Steel Shipping Containers

Bob talks with David Cross formerly of Tampa Armature Works, now of S G BLocks, the company that has taken these abandoned shipping containers and converted them into home-building units. This building technology has a bright future. Since the units first aired on the show, Cross has received well over 500 inquiries about building with ISBU's. There are two more orders in production for military systems in the Caribbean islands, the Redondo Beach house in California, and a possible 600 unit development in southern California. These units are all intended to be affordable. The construction being planned is intended for multi-family and stand-alone housing. More information
