Abstract: Construction from containers can be more efficient than construction from conventional building materials in a number of suitable applications. From an investor’s point of view, the cost and speed of construction are important parameters, while from the societal point of view, it is environmentally friendly since it recycles original shipping containers. The core of this article is a case study of container construction of a primary school in Slovakia. The case study presents life cycle costs which are compared and contrasted with conventional construction. The aim is to compare investment construction costs. Finally, the results are compared with international studies on the topic of the life cycle of modular container buildings, project investment and renewability of this type of construction.
Keywords: construction time savings; Container buildings; investment costs; modular construction; SWOT analysis
