WHAT

Built By Baileys is committed to creating options to allow home buyers to find more economical ways to build a home.

WHY NOW

Construction costs have skyrocketed using traditional materials such as wood framing, drywall, and interior finishes. Alternative or recycled materials provide a more cost effective option.

HOW TO SOURCE

Shipping containers can be purchased through special suppliers. Look for building material recycle centers or wood reclamation sites.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

This includes using shipping containers, in lieu of traditional 'stick built framing' with wood, as the primary structure of the home. Recycled or repurposed materials can by utilized as interior finishes.
