PGLRE #43: Building Sustainable Housing Using Shipping Containers with Courtney Timmons

Written By jessica Washington

On episode 43 of Pretty Girls Love Real Estate, I chat with Courtney Timmons, co-founder of Concrete Roots, a family-owned business to build residential communities using shipping containers in the Atlanta area.

During our conversation we discuss:

  • pros and cons of building with shipping containers vs traditional building materials

  • helping to create the zoning codes for residential shipping container builds in Atlanta

  • advice for developers interested in building with shipping containers

  • working with nonprofit groups to teach marketable skills and give jobs in the construction sector to the homeless

Book Recommendation: New York School of Design: Home: The Foundations of Enduring Spaces by Eileen Fisher
