There are a variety of different steps that you should take into consideration, including hiring a construction expert who specialises in conversions of shipping containers.
Choosing the right shipping container is a crucial step, since it has to be the same dimensions as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not lined up correctly, structural problems could occur.
