S.I. Container Builds

We are honored to be the builder behind a 6,400-square-foot residential facility for Shelter, Inc. created to house and support 12 girls who are survivors of human trafficking.

SICBS' partnership with the Offsite Dirt Network is such a natural fit.

Modern worksites are busy, fast-moving places. Whether it’s a construction crew in the mountains, an energy project in the desert, or an emergency response team setting up on short notice, one big question always pops up: Where do people sleep, work, and recharge? SICBS P3 Portable Power Pods is the answer!

For people working with or in search of buying a shipping container from SI Container Builds, the insights from ULI Chicago’s ADU initiative can be particularly valuable.
