There are some places in Guadalajara. One of them is Underbox, which I had visited, but they were very expensive. They want $25,000 USD for ONE 40 foot container. I spent less than that on two - 40 footers. Granted they were used containers, but they did the trick.

I understand that if you have something built here at Roca Azul, they can coordinate the building to your specs and you just pay rent on your lot, about $4,500 pesos a month. And I would bet that you would spend much less than the $25k usd.

Our shipping container home is complete and we are all moved in. You can see our progress on Facebook page DIY Shipping Container Home Group. Total cost was under $400,000 MXN for two side by side 16' containers.

Hello Wayne,

We live at the Roca Azul RV Park in Jocotepec. Here is the Google Maps link. It is a gated park, but if you tell the gate keeper that you are there to visit me, he will let you in.

Wayne, I am so very sorry that I had not seen your post earlier. Not sure how I missed it. 

Anyways, I am not familiar with anyone that builds container homes locally. We are doing it ourselves.  However, I did find a company in Guadalajara that does, but I found their prices steep. Maybe because we are building something similar for half the price they are asking. But maybe it would be worth it for someone who is willing to pay for the professional experience. These people also sell containers.

We are nearly done with ours and should be living in it by next month, November 2018. Feel free to come by and take a look. I am working on it nearly every day, trying to keep our target dates, since we have a buyer for our RV and he is waiting for us to move out.

Best of luck if you chose to take on such a project.
