Years ago I looked into alternatives to stick built homes, and was particularly interested in factory built wall panels (could be wood frame or foam core, or whatever). What I learned about home building was that the foundations are never quite right not level, square, etc, so stick building in the field allows the framers to compensate and deliver a square and plumb home. Solving the foundation issue was (then, I haven’t followed up in years) key to being able to economize on the rest of the construction process. Your approach, using square and true steel containers, bypasses this concern entirely.
No worries!

You are 100% correct on the wall panels. There is a place for them but that is in the Land of Flat, Square, and True. In other words, not the real world, imho.

In addition to the square and true nature of the container, there can be additional tuning to piers or more naturally on a concrete slab.

Thanks for your input!!

Cheers-mk
