We’ve created hunting cabins, locker rooms, restrooms, and even fire training facilities with our shipping containers. It’s true that this is our most popular mobile office option, but shipping containers can be turned into so much more. When you think of a shipping container, what most likely comes to mind is the standard 20-foot steel box. This makes them the perfect candidate from which to create a portable office.Īdditionally, if you opt for the standard 20-foot modified shipping container, there are no seams like you see in modular portable offices, which means no leaks! You can use modified shipping containers for a plethora of building options Winters in the Pacific Northwest have no chance of competing with the ocean swells that shipping containers are designed to withstand. Shipping containers are built for durability in even the most intense storms at sea. Mobile building options experience even more weather-related issues. In the wet winters of the Pacific Northwest, even the sturdiest buildings become susceptible to leaks and mold. Shipping containers are insanely weatherproof Upfront costs may be higher, but in the end, you’re left with an office space that fits your specific needs that can be transported to your construction sites for years to come. Simple Box also offers modified shipping containers as rentals, so if you’re looking for a solution for a temporary construction project, we have you covered. With modified shipping containers, you can choose anything from a standard 20-foot container with simple modifications to a multi-room office complete with a breakroom, restrooms, and more.

While some construction companies prefer to use RVs or rent mobile office trailers for their sites, these options lack the ability to customize, and add-ons can quickly put a ding in your budget. When you only need an office for a few months, there’s no need to set up a semi-permanent space to work.

Mobile workspaces offer a flexible solution to your office needs, which is perfect for construction sites that only require office space for the duration of the build. Modified shipping containers help you stick to your budget While we can’t change the weather, our modified shipping containers at Simple Box can make your life a little easier. If it snows, the damp slush only increases your weather woes. The constant rain leads to mud and muck on the construction site while the wet air seems to seep into your bones. If you’re in the construction businesses in the Pacific Northwest, you understand how frustrating our winters can be.
