View(s):A unique concept of converting shipping containers into contemporary living spaces (living and commercial buildings) is an ideal solution in achieving the desired level of creativity whilst caring for the environment and your wallet.

Pership Exotic Asian Living said it believes in absolute transparency and immaculate workmanship. “For us it’s not just a business, it’s an art and a craft where our creativity meets with your aspirations and our work ethics exceed your expectations,” the company said in a media release.
It said building a home or a commercial building or a simple extension to an existing structure can mean that you will not have time for anything else. Supervising the quality of materials used, the quantum of materials purchased, obtaining regulatory approvals, quality of workmanship, duration taken to complete job, etc all can turn out to be quite a nightmare.
Exotic Asian Living (EAL) is a subsidiary of the Pership group with a heritage of 130 years in maritime, aviation andlogistics industries.
Pership EAL has completed over 100 projects so far supported by an experienced team of architects, engineers, technicians and sales and marketing personnel from its state of the art container conversion facility in Kelaniya, utilising the highest quality building material and technology.
It said that shipping containers have the strongest structure compared to wood, concrete or normal steel buildings because they are made out of weathering steel “Corten” and has a lifespan of over 25 years in the rough weather conditions during sea transportation. This lifespan is further increased when containers are used for housing construction where the environment is much milder than at sea or is static or is refurbished.
Shipping containers are self-supporting with beams and stout with marine-grade plywood flooring already in place; they are better at resisting wind, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes; and the steel used to build modern shipping containers is a corrosive resistant high-strength, low-alloy steel that is again protected with marine paint.
“When building with shipping containers we do not require wood, therefore we can save a lot of trees, so we encourage you to continue with this eco-friendly trend into energy saving lighting, recycling methods for waste and water etc,” the company said.
“With container homes you need only an area of 160 sq ft at a minimum for a 20ft container or for a 40ft container an area of 320 sq ft whether this space is on a steep slope in a mountainous terrain or it’s the rooftop of an existing building like a garage, we are capable of making the best use of your space,” said Tehani Wijesena – Marketing Manager at Pership EAL.
