I saw this recently and it looks interesting. I might get one as a man cave!

Thats a great, great, great idea!  A person with the means to do it could buy a nice piece of land, put up one of those to live in while building the main house, then rent out the little house.  Gotta bookmark this one!

The fully finished really bumps the price up. Fully finished 24 sq meter delivered (45k) to the Visayas 540k. I suppose you need to provide land, concrete pad, water, sewage facilities. I see nothing about wiring...

The 50 sq meter at 1,076,000 delivered to Visayas, by the time you fitted it out I think you could get a townhouse.

Same problems with the shipping container houses, I believe the company is Indigo.

My personal favorite is the concrete quonset hut. You connect a garden hose to it and fill with water then inflate it (possibly automobile exhaust?) and let the concrete set up, they are already pre wired. I think they have zipper flaps either end but you can probably frame a wall with doors and windows. There are many solutions to the same problem. None seem to be as cheap or elegant as they at first looked.
