A modern black single-story SQUARED container home in a misty forest
— Dignity Through Design

We build homes people can actually afford.


Container homes. Modern design. Built for the middle class.

// Who we are

Affordable. Modern. Attainable.

SQUARED offers a transformative approach to homebuilding — one that responds to the urgent need for affordable and transitional housing for families across the country. By leveraging sustainable container construction, we provide rapid, cost-effective housing solutions and a clear pathway to homeownership.


“Why should dignity be reserved for people who can afford it?”
// What we build

Modern. Engineered. Yours.

// The founder

Civil engineer. Developer. Builder.

Donail Biggers spent 20 years in construction before founding SQUARED. A Prairie View A&M civil engineer who once lived in a converted shipping container during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan — and came home knowing exactly what he wanted to build.


“Engineering isn't just about numbers.”
