We Turn Shipping Containers Into Incredible New Environments

We use highly-sustainable, maritime-grade shipping containers to build incredible shopping, working, and living environments.

We work with architects, developers, builders, and commercial clients to help them build incredibly safe, strong, and green structures using code-engineered shipping containers. We work closely with our partners to source the right box for each project need, then use our unique experience and know-how to build-out each to exact specifications.

Experience Is The Difference

It's not as simple as it looks.

As a matter of fact, it's really hard to turn a container into a structure that works. We know how to do it right.

Industry leaders engage SG Blocks with good reason—our expertise, proprietary best-in-class container-based testing and modeling, and container preparation and building process provide results.

Our top-tier clients know we provide safe, durable, sustainable solutions that are faster and less expensive than traditional building methods. The SG Blocks difference? Experience. We deliver an end-to-end solution on time and on budget.

Starbucks

RETAIL STRUCTURES

SG Blocks built the first-ever Starbucks drive-through utilizing shipping containers. Located in South Salt Lake City, it is the first of several prototype stores to be opened across the country.

Hamptons

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

SG Blocks helped build one of the Hamptons' most Eco-Friendly homes by harnessing 6 shipping containers to create a spacious, open, and highly efficient beachfront environment.

Patent application submitted for SG Blocks Universal Box

Code compliant universal standardized modules and modifications as well as completely interchangeable infill panels. Standardized modules reduce the time to obtain approvals, provide a consistent design and fabrication approach and reduce design and construction times and errors.

Why Use Containers?

Containers are not only sustainable, but they also save time and money.

Traditional building methods are depleting our planet's resources. It's time to start building smarter and better, with SG Blocks.

We are destroying our planet's resources. Millions of acres of forest are depleted every year, much of it harvested for building. In contrast, containers can substantially offset a development's carbon footprint and reduce the use of natural resources. Containers are strong, corrosion resistant, and can reduce construction time by up to 40%. Hard and soft costs are lower as well, particularly in expensive urban and mid-rise markets.

Containers are perfect solutions across diverse residential, industrial, commercial, and retail applications.

40% Faster Construction Time

Save 10-20% on Construction Costs

Here are a few more reasons to use SG Block's Containers for your next project:

• Environmentally Green
• Strong and Impervious
• Scalable and Reconfigurable
• Mobile and Portable
