Indonesia Container Construction Information

If you ask most people what the 4th most populous country in the world is, few will say Indonesia. But this beautiful country of literally thousands of islands has well over 250 million people.

Indonesia has some of the biggest cities (Jakarta), the most populated island (Java), but also some of the world's most pristine jungles, mountains, and scuba diving. It's a country of extremes, to be sure.

But with all the industry and economic development happening, there are a lot of fun container projects showing up there as well. Everything from villas to coffee shops can be found here, built with shipping containers.

The building code in Indonesia is a bit hard to figure out; however, good building practices are necessary given the constant threat of earthquakes and typhoons. While Law 28 of 2002 is a construction code of sorts, it is apparently no longer in force. There are other requirements made at a municipal level, but it seems hard to find information about a national-level code structure, at least in English. Therefore, you're best served to do your due diligence with a local partner.
