As a simple definition, it can be said that a container is a portable structure that is usually produced in a prefabricated form. Container is one of the most used structures as a temporary accommodation in many cases. Although the container structure is known as a temporary accommodation, sometimes these structures are also used for long-term purposes since it can be transported to the desired location and in some cases, its various parts are assembled at the desired location. There are different types of container and they can be found in the market as wheeled or fixed. The fixed container will remain fixed in its location, but the wheeled kind can be moved to other places for multiple uses.

• More speed in construction and assembly (use of prefabricated materials)
• Safe against earthquakes (using materials with low density such as sandwich panels)
• Portability
• Preventing energy loss (use of thermal insulation in the wall of the container, especially sandwich panels)
• Ability to save (many panels can be stored and used when necessary)
• The ability to order a variety of designs and colours for different uses.
• Environmentally friendly
