Ohio Container Construction Information

Ohio, known as the Buckeye State, is an important state on the eastern edge of the Midwest. It's uniquely positioned geographically as a bridge between the Midwest and both the Northeast and the South, placing it in an important economic area.

Its border is just a few hours drive from several of the largest and most important cities east of the Mississippi River. And inside Ohio, you'll find a number of important cities like Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati.

Ohio is in many ways defined by bodies of water. In the north, it's the border it has with Lake Erie. In the south, it's the Ohio River. In between, you'll mostly find plains and rolling hills.

There are numerous container homes in Ohio, and building one here should be no more difficult than any other state. However, you will need to contend with building regulations in Ohio, regardless of if your project is urban or rural.

The Ohio Department of Commerce's Board of Building Standards is the entity responsible for formulating and adopting the Ohio building codes. They are also charged with certifying county and municipal building departments with actually enforcing the codes.

In Ohio, the building code is uniform across the state and enforced state-wide, which helps eliminate any confusion about differences between local agencies. And as expected, the Ohio building code is based on the normal ICC model codes with some Ohio-specific amendments.
