There are five common standard lengths for shipping containers, 20 ft (6.1 m), 40 ft (12.2 m), 45 ft (13.7 m), 48 ft 14.6 m), and 53 ft (16.2 m). US domestic standard containers are generally 48 ft and 53 ft (rail and truck). Shipping container capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). A twenty-foot equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length) × 8 ft (width) × 8 ft 6 in (height) container. In metric units this is 6.10 m (length) × 2.44 m (width) × 2.59 m (height), or approximately 39 m3. These sell at about US$2,500 in China, the biggest manufacturer. Most shipping containers today are of the 40-ft (12.2 m) variety and thus are known as 2 TEU. 45 foot (13.7 m) containers are also designated 2 TEU. Two TEU are referred to as one forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU). These two terms of measurement are used interchangeably. High cube containers have a height of 9 ft 6 in (2.9 m), while half-height containers, used for heavy loads, have a height of 4 ft 3 in (1.3 m). When converting shipping containers to TEUs, the height of the containers typically is not considered. Wikipedia

There is growing interest in the use of these kinds of containers as the basis for habitable structures. These items are relatively inexpensive, structurally sound and in abundant supply. Although, in raw form, containers are dark windowless boxes (which might place them at odds with some of the tenets of modernist design...) they can be highly customizable modular elements of a larger structure. Shipping containers are in many ways an ideal building material. They are strong and resistant to the elements while also being durable and stackable, simplifying construction.

Used shipping containers could cost from US$1700.00 to US$3100.00, depending on the standard dimensions. New ones could be found up to US$4000.00. Small containers, like shipping cases or military containers might be available for less than one hundred US dollars.
