Why container houses are better than break ones
While keeping mum on his educational background, Ifeanyichuwku told Legit.ng that he has been in the business for the past two years.
When asked if container houses were better than brick ones, he said:
"Yes, it's better because it can take you less than one week to get a container home. It's also movable and is called home away from home."
He went on to rate container houses higher than brick ones in terms of prices.
"The price (for container houses) is also cheaper than the brick houses."
What to bear in mind when going for a container house
Speaking further, he shed light on what a layman looking to have a container house should have in mind.
"Well, it all depends on how you want the inside to look. More designs require more money, and not every flat is the same."
