The number of containers needed for a bedroom house will vary greatly depending on:

General Considerations:

Single Bedroom: A single 20-foot container could potentially be used for a very small, basic bedroom unit.

Multiple Bedrooms:

A 20-foot container might be sufficient for a single bedroom.

Multiple containers would be necessary for larger houses with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas.

Size of the house: How many bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces are desired?

Container size: 20-foot or 40-foot containers will significantly impact the number needed.

Design and layout: How the containers will be connected and configured (e.g., stacked, side-by-side).

Desired living space: How much living space is required per person or per bedroom?
