Low income houses are normally made of cardboard tubes, prefabricated materials, geodesic kits, inflatables and polyurethane igloos. In recent years, builders have started using second hand container vans to build not only homes but also offices, clinics and restaurants.

Somewhere in the Bicol region in the Philippines, an entire resort, where international wakeboarding competitions are being held annually, used container vans as some sort of cabanas in place of a regular hotel room.

These accommodations are just like the usual hotels, only less expensive and a little smaller but they have all the usual amenities, the twin beds, receiving area, intimate dining area, a bathroom, with cable and internet connections and an air conditioning system.
