Features
Features of Our Shipping Container Offices
High-Quality Container Construction
Built from new, one-trip high cube shipping containers, available in both 40 and 20 feet options, with a 9'6" exterior height and 9' interior height. These high cube containers provide ample headroom and maximize usable space, creating a more comfortable work environment.
Superior Insulation and Interior Finishes
The container’s walls and ceiling are fully insulated, ensuring effective temperature control throughout the year. Steel studs support a layer of drywall, which is textured and painted with a satin sheen finish, giving the interior a polished, professional look. A suspended acoustic panel ceiling further improves sound insulation and adds a clean aesthetic to the office.
Secure and Convenient Access
Equipped with two 36” steel exterior personnel doors, each with a secure lockset, this container office provides secure access while ensuring durability and protection against external elements.
Natural Light and Ventilation
Two 6'x3' vinyl sliding windows allow ample natural light to flood the office, creating a pleasant workspace while reducing dependency on artificial lighting during the day. These windows can also be easily adjusted for ventilation, enhancing the office's comfort.
Efficient Electrical Setup
The office comes with a grid-tied electrical panel and flex coil wiring embedded within wall cavities for a clean, streamlined setup. Each office is equipped with duplex electrical outlets on a dedicated circuit, ensuring ample power for office equipment and technology needs.
Advanced Lighting and Climate Control
LED troffer light fixtures provide bright, energy-efficient lighting that reduces glare and creates a comfortable environment for prolonged work hours. The office also includes a 12k BTU air conditioning unit installed with a dedicated circuit, ensuring effective climate control even in hot climates.
The Process
How it Works
There is no shortage of reasons why a custom shipping container office building is a great choice for your business. When you invest in a modular office, you'll benefit from:
1. Initial Consultation
Start by reaching out to a shipping container office provider to discuss your needs and preferences. This includes your intended use, size requirements, desired features, and budget.
3. Quotation
After finalizing the design, you’ll receive a detailed quote outlining the costs associated with the project. This quote should cover everything from modifications to delivery and installation.
5. Delivery and Installation
After the modifications are complete, the shipping container office will be delivered to your location. The provider will handle the installation, ensuring it’s set up correctly and safely.
2. Design Phase
Collaborate with the provider to create a custom design. This may involve choosing the layout, number of windows and doors, interior finishes, and any additional features like restrooms or kitchenettes.
4. Production
Once you approve the quote, the provider will begin modifying the shipping container according to the agreed specifications. This stage involves adding insulation, electrical systems, plumbing (if required), and any interior finishes.

Advantages
Benefits of Shipping Container Offices
Shipping container offices have gained popularity for their versatility and practicality. Here are some key benefits of choosing a shipping container office solution:
Cost-Effective
Shipping containers are often more affordable than traditional office buildings. Their modular design allows for quick assembly, reducing construction costs and timelines.
Portability
Container offices can be easily transported to different job sites or locations. This flexibility makes them ideal for businesses that require temporary spaces or need to relocate frequently.
Durability
Made from steel, shipping containers are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them a robust choice for outdoor settings. Their structural integrity ensures longevity and reduced maintenance.
Customizability
Shipping containers can be tailored to meet specific business needs, including layout, design, and features. This adaptability allows for the inclusion of amenities such as insulation, HVAC systems, and electrical setups.
Sustainability
Using repurposed shipping containers promotes sustainability by recycling materials and reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional construction methods. Many container offices incorporate eco-friendly features, such as solar panels and energy-efficient lighting.
Rapid Deployment
Container offices can be quickly set up, often in a matter of days. This speed of installation is beneficial for businesses needing immediate workspace solutions.
Rent vs. Buy
Making the Right Choice for Your Shipping Container Office
Renting
- Flexibility and Short-Term Commitment: Renting a shipping container office is ideal for businesses needing a flexible workspace solution. If your operations are temporary—such as for construction projects, seasonal work, or events—renting allows you to avoid the long-term commitment of ownership. This adaptability can be crucial in dynamic business environments where needs may change rapidly.
- Lower Upfront Costs: Renting typically requires a smaller initial financial outlay compared to purchasing. This lower barrier to entry makes it easier for startups or businesses with tight budgets to secure functional office space without the need for significant capital investment.
- Maintenance and Repairs: When renting, the responsibility for maintenance and repairs often lies with the rental company. This means that if something goes wrong—such as a malfunctioning HVAC unit or other structural issues—the landlord handles the repairs, allowing you to focus on your business operations without the added stress of maintenance.
- Short-Term Needs: If your workspace requirements are temporary or project-based, renting a container office can be more cost-effective. You can utilize the space for as long as you need and return it when it’s no longer necessary, avoiding costs associated with ownership.
Buying
- Long-Term Investment: Purchasing a shipping container office is a strategic investment, especially for businesses with plans for long-term use. Owning the container means you can customize it to fit your specific operational needs, ensuring it serves your business effectively over time.
- Complete Customization: Ownership allows for full control over the design and functionality of the container office. You can tailor the layout, interior finishes, and features to align perfectly with your business requirements, making it a more personalized and effective workspace.
- Asset Ownership: Owning a shipping container office means you have a tangible asset that can be modified, relocated, or repurposed as your business evolves. This flexibility allows you to adapt your office space without the restrictions that may come with renting.
- Potential Resale Value: If your business circumstances change and you no longer need the container office, you have the option to sell it. This resale potential can help recoup some of your investment, making buying a financially sound choice in the long run.
