In recent years, the construction industry has started to cotton on to the vast range of uses that shipping containers offer aside from simply storing and transporting goods. One of these uses has been the implementation of shipping container offices on worksites. The mobility, security and space that they offer make for a perfect and ideal office setup. They can also be easily customised to suit the needs of different workers in the construction industry, from project managers and architects to first-aid offices and break rooms. In this article, Port Shipping Containers discusses the benefits of using a modern shipping container office for construction sites, while taking a deeper dive into their customisation options and flexibility on work sites.
Quick Deployment
On any worksite, time is of the essence. The aim of any contractor is to get the job done right in the most effective and efficient way possible. There is no difference in setting up a shipping container office. They can be deployed and fully set up in a matter of days, which minimises any disruption to initial ongoing construction. Furthermore, once the project is finished, the container office can be packed down and removed from the site in just as little time.
Customisability
A shipping container office offers a high level of customisable options and flexibility in terms of set-up and layout. If you require a simple, open-plan office, that can easily be achieved, and so too can a space that is divided and sectioned for different construction teams, such as project managers and architects. Furthermore, there are multi-room options available, as well as the option to add on utilities and personalised features to fit the specific requirements of the construction site and the team that is working there.
Security and Durability
Shipping containers are made to be naturally durable and robust, as they are made from strong steel that protects you and your belongings against both theft and harsh weather conditions. This can be extremely beneficial for construction offices, as there may be expensive tools and equipment stored inside. Also, construction offices may need to be in the same location for months or even years at a time, depending on the project, so they need to be made to last and stand the test of time, especially given the harsh weather conditions that they will likely be exposed to.
Modular Flexibility
Another great thing about shipping containers is how easily they stack on top and next to each other. This is called modular flexibility and can be extremely useful when using them in a modern shipping container office set-up. Walls between containers can be removed to make long offices, while they can also stack on top of each other, and have stairs installed for access, if space on the worksite is an issue. This level of flexibility explains why the container construction office is becoming so popular in modern times.
