Suggestions & Cautions

Examine your local building codes before building with a CONEX. Consult with pro designers, plumbers also electricians if you don't have the necessary experience to perform those duties yourself. Make sure your CONEX is insulated and heated or cooled appropriately for your climate. In only minimum ventilation (the windows you cut inside the sides), any CONEX can become dangerously hot from the summer and overly cold inside the winter without right insulation.
