Container home engineering · Licensed in 38 states
We design, engineer and verify container homes for real sites and real plan reviews — from a $49 DIY plan set to a $1.5M custom build. Every drawing we seal is a real building.
Why it matters
Oasis Engineering specializes in structural engineering, wind load analysis and PE-sealed drawings for shipping container homes. Worldwide for DIY builders; permit-ready across the United States for custom builds and developers.
Projects in the field
Custom luxury or sweat-equity DIY — both start with the same PE-sealed structural package. Two recent builds, two very different budgets.

Active build · Bradenton, FL
The 3D tour of a 7-container Bradenton residence we engineered — under construction, structure exposed, every weld and pier visible.
Commercial & industrial
We engineer container structures for commercial, industrial and institutional use — PE-sealed, IBC-compliant, classified by occupancy group and Risk Category so they clear plan review the first time. Same structural rigor as our residential work; a different code path.
Recent · Industrial sand plant
Occupied and non-occupied units were classified separately, so the equipment module wasn't burdened with requirements it didn't need — and the control rooms got the egress, loads and anchorage Group B demands.

Questions
No. Oasis Engineering does engineering design, consulting, drafting and PE-sealed drawings for container homes. We do not sell containers or build on site. As a licensed engineering firm we also offer inspection and construction-verification services.
Instant-download drawing packages with pre-engineered layouts, structural details and construction guidance. They do not include personalized consultation, site-specific customization or a USA PE seal. DIY plans sell worldwide and work well where permits are not required, or as a starting point for your builder or local engineer.
A consultation, a tailored design, 3D renderings, full permit-ready drawings and the PE seal. We make sure the design meets your local code and site conditions and we handle revisions during plan review.
Yes — with your own engineer or architect, or we can make small adjustments for a fee. We can also take a DIY design and fully customize and engineer it for your site as a hybrid approach.
Check with your local building authority on zoning, setbacks and code. Our consulting service can also give you jurisdiction-specific guidance before you buy anything.
Typically 2–4 weeks with us. Permitting usually runs 15–30 days, longer in stricter jurisdictions such as incorporated cities.
We do not build, but we consult through design and planning, can recommend experienced container contractors, and provide inspection verification and engineer letters through EngineerLetters.co.
