I saw a person build a nice house with 3 40ft containers,
they put the containers shaped like a U
so big open living area in the middle, kitchen on one side

For a proper construction, you will have to do a food foundation and pedestals for the steel with the correct anchor bolts. To join spans, you will need the hsfg bolts. All in all, cost will add up and become much more than two containers.
If you on a budget, why not check out the thermal impact houses by TIAHCO, or the Plycem houses by AP Scott?

You can do container, wood or block or a combination. You'll need architectural plans first, though.
Those are the basic structural estimate numbers - walls, floors and a ceiling and minimal services (one toilet, one shower). No foundation or earth works. This is closer to a shed than a mansion.ProtonPowder wrote:adnj wrote:Depending on the finishes, you may be able to build an 800 sq ft house with basic finishes or some things that are unfinished in the $150 to $200 per sq ft range.

Very interesting. Is that range possible for an unrendered red brick house, louvers and timber framed galvanise? Assuming you build the foundation properly with a 6-10ft pile.

Why do you need to pile the foundation? Where is the house being constructed?
