United Kingdom Container Construction Information

The United Kingdom is one of the most important countries in Western Europe, if not the entire world. The country includes Northern Ireland and the territories that make up the island of Great Britain, which include England, Scotland, and Wales.

In the United Kingdom, you'll find ancient settlements and modern urban buildings. Home to world-class cities like London, but also pristine coastline and rural areas.

As an island country (albeit a rather large one), the United Kingdom has always depended on the sea for commerce. So it's no surprise that shipping containers hold an important spot in the history of the country over the past several decades. And due to the prevalence of container shipping, we've also seen quite a number of structures built from surplus containers as well.

Building regulations in the United Kingdom are very mature but are governed separately by England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. There are also some helpful resources that cut across these territories to provide information, such as the National House Building Council and even well-research Wikipedia entry. The are similar resources to aid in the adjacent issue of planning permission, such as the Planning Portal and the main UK Government website.
