Grand Designs has an episode featuring a container house build. I recommend showing it your friend, as there might be a few things to learn.
As I recall, the biggest challenge was cutting out the sides while maintaining structural integrity. They ended up having to do a lot of complicated stuff to make it structurally sound, nearly negating the benefits of using containers in the first place.
But it looks great. I think the episode is on Netflix. Here [1] is an article with photos and a ten-minute clip from the episode.
