In this video I answer the most asked question throughout the build which is "How much does it cost?" The Pacific Bin is a vacation rental located in Sultan, Washington built from 5 shipping containers.

I also offer short term rental/container home building consulting. Email [email protected] for more information.

  • When YouTubers often say “I’ll give you a cost breakdown” it’s usually followed by some fluff and it doesn’t include the smaller charges. Your video is the golden standard of breaking down costs while building a home. Excellent job!
  • @xJust_Pizzax
    Step by step breakdown of how an affordable container home can be made just as expensive as a regular home.

    My wife and i stayed here and it was genuinely nice and didnt skimp in any locations. Felt like a very welcoming and enjoyable space. Mad jealous its not our house. Well done and appreciated the opportunity to stay here 👍
  • @TheFrostHydra
    That electrical box costs that much because you're also paying for the conduit, the copper wire, and the manpower required to trench/pull/connect/energize your property. Depending on the distance the wire had to cover, you could easily be spending 20k just on a wire spool (also depends on the wire gauge)
  • As a contractor In South Florida I can tell you the window lead times are averaging nearly 6 months. It's insane. Construction costs post Covid are astronomical, now is definitely not the time to custom build unless your independantly wealthy and have money to burn.

    "I sneezed.. that was $10k.. I needed a Kleenex.. that was an additional $10k" amazing video thank you for sharing!!! The build looks great.
  • @HotSteppa
    ive been looking all over for something like this. thanks for making me realize this is more money then i thought it would be
  • @Izastwin
    You killed it!! When u stated "cost breakdown" I thought it would be like others just giving us the "what we want you to know costs" but you actually broke it down for us, thankyou for this, it has given me something to think about for when I decide to build my shipping container home. I whole heartedly believe you will certainly get all the funds back and then some when you put it up for holiday rental. Congratulations on such wonderful job🙏🏾🧡
  • @ericrobin9554
    Thank you for this honest video for its transparency on price, as it's tiring to see projects that cost $100,000 but actually cost much more, especially when considering building a home
  • @realisticthinker
    I cant believe that real wood flooring was only $17k. You got a real good deal on the flooring. The house is beautiful ❤
  • @davidmcmillen1891
    I really enjoyed the video! 1. you are a likable guy 2. your presentation was very complete and honest. 3. No fluff 4. While a bit on the fast side a person can run it again if needed. Ninja is completely correct... EXCELLENT JOB. And yes, Washington is a bit pissy even in the country. I am from Seattle.
  • @Dimrain13
    Honestly this was a breath of fresh air. I hear so many people missing costs and forgetting all the details, but you seem to have calculated it all. Over in the midwest we are about 1/2-1/4 those costs, but if you buy in an area that is in demand you can make some good money. Did you end up doing a cashout refi to pull your money back out?
  • @becorations1
    This is a freaking beautiful design! I hope you get plenty of rentals to pay off all those building costs, but it all looks like money well spent. You didn’t cut any corners. Nice! Thanks for sharing all the details!
  • @jaysmith6506
    When I get ready to build my home I hope I’m able to pick your brain because you have inspired me so much you have no idea I just like to thank you for this video and your time and your effort because I greatly appreciate it
  • @ramseydenison2449
    Really appreciate the thoroughness and transparency in this video. Very helpful for those deciding if they want to take something like this on.
  • If someone pays a million dollars for a “Bin House” I’ll be shocked. Especially comparing what else you can buy for a million
  • @tygsv4021
    I’ve always wondered how much building a home would cost. I love the aesthetic look of homes like this. I could live in that house and never get tired of where it’s located or how beautiful the home is. This is literally all I need to be happy forever 😂
  • I wish you were a contractor in Central Florida! Amazingly entertaining breakdown.
  • I love that you gave an honest breakdown of costs. So many people are floored at why things cost so much; everything adds up, and there are always unexpected costs. It's a beautiful, high-end build that will have a great ROI.
