Resumen
The shipping containers use in buildings presents difficult acceptance due to the lack of
information about its efficiency. The container emerged as a solution for the transportations of
goods around the world, but it is discarded at the life’s end. The traditional construction market is
responsible for most of the environmental impact sources, and because of that, the container reuse
is an expression of an economical and sustainable alternative, further, it may generate a significant
cost reduction compared to the traditional process, creating greater efficiency and speed in the
work. In contrast, the main obstacles are the thermal conductivity of the manufacture material, and
also the lack of specialized labor, especially in rural cities. In this way, it is sought a reflection
about possibilities of shipping container use in civil construction by a bibliographical study in
means that present the theme in an actual way.
