EXCELLENT DESIGN by the builders and architects, NHT you have been collecting billions of dollars from the average Jamaicans annually, give them the full support to own their homes.
No body wants these furnaces to live in. They might look goodish because they are new and painted but I imagine how miserable and muggy they are going to be as a permanent dwelling in a tropical country. Definitely not a good idea.
So the 40ft is for 3.8 million and the 20ft is for 2.3 million but when you combine both the price is 8.4 million. Make it make sense. The problem with Jamaica is that even when they come up with a good thing, they still try to gouge out people’s eyes. This is a brilliant way to solve some the housing problems if they can get it right…
And trust me, in 5 years these will be over 10 million, it might work out better to just buy the containers and build. Then again the prices of those will soon increase
Mek Andrew gweh! So yaa guh tell me seh had it not been FOR AMERICA'S CONTAINER HOME IDEAS THIS WOULDNT POSSIBLE? Why dem cant let normal homes affordable? Kmt u see how dat midget dinning areal look ? And that living area? So why dem dnt build a container housing scheme?? Wen people buy dem contianer homes deh weh dem have land to drop dem? Affi guh find money fi buy land!!! Kmt all of this is wickedness!
Facts. I purpose this 4 years ago as a way to fix ghetto, and they didn’t jump at now they are all over it because it profit there pocket now 4 years later
My company propose this idea 4 years ago met and reach out to so many different parts of the govt… and I remember being told by mr Shaw that Jamaican will never want this. So I’m surprise to see the same govt now standing behind this. The observer did a story on me about this same idea back in 2018
If what you say is true, that's very upsetting. This is a good housing solution and would be even better if owned by Jamaicans instead of the Israeli government
Can you get other options for container homes such as a hood vent above the stove, and a vent in the bathroom? Can you also buy a Mini Split A.C. Heat Pump and ceiling fans, and burglar bars installed? This model home is very small with little shelving space and no laundry room, are these options you can purchase in a larger container home? Also can the home be installed on stilts or raised ground to protect when flooding happens during rainy season. Can you buy a battery back up to power home on shady days when solar can not charge the power needed. Is the roof hurricane proof?
This is one of the best options for affordable living, I would add two more 40 fts for my design. I like container buildings, I went to Caribbean Maritime and most of their buildings are built from containers and they are well insulated. Awesome video. 👍
@@shermorganedwards4953 Not really, it depends on where you live and how hot it is, also you would need to properly insulate the inside so it doesn't trap the heat or cold.
I wonder if NHT can fund this kind of home? I think it's pretty economical and cost effective, also less hassle to get Contractors to build your house.
Poor floor plan when you compare it to those in North America with the same square footage. They should have done a more open space with the living room and kitchen in order to maximize the space..Great idea otherwise
I love it. I have been looking for a year and a half because I will be retiring there in a year and a half over in the treasure beach area and this is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you.
@@krysierodney997 containers homes, have been long been in America and Canada and these are first world countries, and many people enjoy living in their containers house.
In 90+F weather how will these units achieve cooling? There are enough problems associated with cooling existing concrete slab units. Information is that units abroad are fitted with central cooling systems. But I guess families would be able to pitch tents in the yard provided in Jamaica’s mostly hot weather
Very good idea! One thing it is very costly. The rooms are very small , not much space in the rooms kitchen is small. I am living abroad and still cannot afford the container house. It is too low on the ground, at least they could have raised the it a little higher up.if water happens to come in you have to start sweeping the water out of the house. Loved the idea , but as I say it’s too expensive, and need to raise up from the ground.
Should be only fear to have the solar and ac as mandatory and not optional. Also the cost should not exceed the NHT allotment. Solving the housing crisis will require consideration to cost.
It looks really good, and i agree that NHT should jump on board n help out , so alot of us can get somewhere to call our own. COME ON NHT!!! ME NEED A HOUSE😊
love the idea, there was a time when I was interested in this but after doing some research changed my mind. My problem is what were these containers carrying and how does it affect the people. Do they get to see the manifesto/ paper works because they could harm them in the future
Can we take out a loan on these container homes or just straight cash, and if so do they have lenders they work with or we have to find our own lender?
The solar equipment shouldn't be in a room where ppl are Good idea but fo4 8.5 mil they should give more since its containers and not block and cement Love ur little walk through I'll subscribe
I’ve been looking at these units that they make in Africa and think it’s a extremely great solution for the poor. Government should jump on this and start developing communities. This is very nice.
Why the container houses was something people would be hesitant about is the heat of said container. If anyone has ever been in a container wound know how hot it gets but this is the "best" option for low income housing i guessssss
Great idea, but your floor plan doesn't flow at all. I have seen tiny houses with better floor plans that flow and work so beautifully, and this one just looks confused.
What it looks like is not so important,what is the minimum size of the major rooms are. We are now using the ICC Building Codes for local construction,there in are rules governing the minimum size of various rooms in a house. In Jamaica right now that is not followed but we want to sell real estate on the international market. Even if your house is not attractive from the outside as long as the inside is spacious you and your family will be feeling like royalties.
I live in the states where there are numerous mobile homes. While i applaud anyone who provides affordable housing solutions in Jamaica. My question is what is the stability and safety in these homes during a hurricane which is a frequent occurrence in Jamaica. I am a born Jamaican so i am not asking ignorantly. I don't see any information about the sturdiness of the structure.
It's really one bedroom. Realistically, the second space is not a bedroom. The ceiling looks very low. Although they use white curtains and light for ventilation. It looks clustered. Especially because it does not come with land.
It's old containers decommissioned by Container Services,these containers are deemed unfit for further cargo transportation. Maybe they are even rusting on the inside,do you know what's the cost of a new container,you would be surprised?.
Hi kayla nice unit but i have a question if you have a container of your own how can i get that company to reach out and make a living space for rental. I am in st james forward information Thk
😂 my bed is king the kitchen can't hold the bathroom 😩 my 2 sons room no no the living room 😒 😑 the patio my flowers where do I wash . Starter kids houses 🏘
I made the proposal to them in 2017 after my business was featured for bringing container homes to Jamaica and they’ve turned down several of my clients who attempted to secure funds for this purpose
And i bet dem a guh start do it now! Bcuz THE PRIME MINISTER and his links dem involved!!! Bcuz it wasnt any of those big wigs ideas it was truned down!
Good evening for me and my family this unit is kinda small, could they build it how we want it or we would just have to settle for the unit they have already?
Could someone get these home build on their own land, or there other ways of building on your own land. Like these as starter home very interesting. How do I get in touch with you
Regardless of what anyone says, I need one right away! This is what I can afford, and they look really nice. The only issue is that I wouldn't want it in Kingston; maybe in Ocho Rios or another urban area. It appeals to me, is affordable, and would be helpful for my child and me. Prime Minister, thank you for adding this as another option to the housing choices that we already have in Jamaica.🇯🇲 Big up yourself Ms. Kayla Keane
The unit I toured is called the Mod-Donna and cost $8.5 million dollars (excluding the Solar & Balcony rails).

@@annastaciacreed278 You are most welcome my dear.
I think it should be a little cheaper because it's not wall but I like it tho
it should be mandatory that houses being built in jamaica in this day and age be fitted with solar panels and air conditioning at no extra cost
Not a bad suggestion
Yes
Yes!! Inside is going to as hot 🔥 as furnace!!
You're right but you're funny
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD OFFER THESE HOMES TO HOMELESS OR POOR PEOPLE IN THE ROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS.
Nice starter homes 🏡 it's best to own something than owning nothing at all.

@@raw-soul containers been expensive 4 + years now
From high school days I’ve always thought of building my own luxury container house
I like the idea too
Been thinking about since the last 3 years, the designs seen online look amazing
@@CRWNJWL Indeed
I thought I was the only person in ja for the past 3 yrs or so thinking of living in conditioner home😊
It can be done..even can be fully off grid too
This is a good idea for a starter home and the price is comfortable! It looks more luxurious than most of the ones I’ve seen here in Canada!
I agree
Facts. I purpose this 4 years ago as a way to fix ghetto, and they didn’t jump at now they are all over it because it profit there pocket now 4 years later
Residential houses in Jamaica Needs gutter around the roof to lead the rain water from the building. The water could be harvested to water plants

So I’m surprise to see the same govt now standing behind this. The observer did a story on me about this same idea back in 2018
Sad and am not surprised at all they stole your idea. Give them some competition
No surprise there. Jamaican Politicians are anti-progress.
Yes, they are always slow on the uptake of positive solutions.
Just read the Observer article. Would you consider doing this again?
If what you say is true, that's very upsetting. This is a good housing solution and would be even better if owned by Jamaicans instead of the Israeli government
At the football world cup last year, one of the stadium was totally make from containers. So domestic or commercial use is absolutely brilliant. 👍
This is wonderful! Jamaica is late, but better late than never. I would definitely buy one of these
No sir not late their are several container homes in Jamaica, Winward Rd,Kingston,a Chinese man built one,not upscale but for his shelter.

@@emriswilson17 she said it’s solar powered. It’s better than nothing though.

You are spot on
NHT is already on board if you have ur own land. They will give you the funds.

Amazing is a stretch or some tiny heat box.

I also recently build two one in St Mary and one in Buff bay Portland so this is not new my company has been building continer homes for over 8 years.

Are they as attractive as this one... and do they cost less?
Can we get a link please.

Brilliant! Just proper insulation and it's a done deal for me. Just get NHT on board now and we will be soaring to new heights 🙌🏻
Do you provide the land to put the container .are I have to find my one land ?

I have been saying why Jamaica don’t utilize shipping containers for homes? Love this.
I like the fact you said it's not so hot I guess these homes will do better in cooler parishes
Indeed
Manchester would be perfect 😊
how can I apply for one right this minute I live in Manchester
Genuine question: how would these homes stand up to a category 5 hurricane? How are their foundations done?
Good question 👏🏽
Yes some are pinned to concrete foundation
I would love to purchase one of these container homes. I truly love the design.

are there options to adjust the layout and add containers as you go?
Yes
Containers should be the pro to type for Jamaica especially the rebuilding the slums.
That’s an idea
Wondering if this will be my first home. Not opposed to the idea but they're very hard to cool
Yes and the unit I your cost just 8.5 million
The inside must be insulated to control the outside heat.

Loved the idea , but as I say it’s too expensive, and need to raise up from the ground.
Does it comes with furniture for that price
Does this $8 plus million for the combined two containers include the water, electricity. Sewage connection as well. Plus the “build out” inside.
Very good price is right too
Should be only fear to have the solar and ac as mandatory and not optional. Also the cost should not exceed the NHT allotment. Solving the housing crisis will require consideration to cost.
It looks really good, and i agree that NHT should jump on board n help out , so alot of us can get somewhere to call our own. COME ON NHT!!! ME NEED A HOUSE😊
If it cost so much why not just buy block and cement it's really not an affordable thing total rubbish
And the living and dining room space is a JOKE!! IT IS MADE FOR DWARVES!
Agree with you
So nuh 30 add m fi the most reachable house + e basic, an yuh think this a foolishness
Excellent…..it can make homes more affordable…way to gooo

Check my description box in 15 minutes. I will unload the prices by then.
This is Expensive... you have to take in consideration the land. Will they be providing that?
Nice... where are they located.
.
And what's the price per unit?
Can we take out a loan on these container homes or just straight cash, and if so do they have lenders they work with or we have to find our own lender?
Does it include the lot space (or does it come with the LAND?
If i to purchase one can we add on a extra room and bathroom as well?
It looks like a New York City apartment minus the veranda for $2000 a month.
If I live in America is everything still applies nd how much for. 3 bedroom
The solar equipment shouldn't be in a room where ppl are
Good idea but fo4 8.5 mil they should give more since its containers and not block and cement
Love ur little walk through I'll subscribe
This is a demo home
It's placed there so that when the display unit is closed it is inside
