Every construction site needs a construction office. A place to review drawings, eat lunch, and get out of the weather. We decided to take two containers and set them up for just this purpose. One shipping container is the main office space, with mock kitchen, large table, food storage, and a couch. The second container has the sleeping quarters, with enough beds to sleep 5 people. Both containers were outfitted with oversized sliding patio doors that are 8 feet tall. They are installed directly behind the steel security doors, and demonstrates the project’s approach for obtaining large amounts of glazing yet maintain the security features of the containers. We are now ready to start recycling and demolishing the old wooden cabin and barn.
I hadn’t thought about using shipping containers to build offices. I can see that it is a great way to make use of them and make them a part of your surroundings. It makes sense that choosing a good company to buy from can help you find the quality you need.
Yes John. It is important to source your raw container from a supplier/yard that let’s you hand pick your container that meets the condition and cleanliness to meet your needs, and then you need to work with the right interior insulation, finishing, and HVAC options to ensure you have an office space that performs well and lasts the test of time without condensation and mould issues.
