Shipping Container Modification and Design

ISO containers provide the perfect template for a portable, rugged and secure multi-use enclosure solution. Whether it’s turning a container into liveable space, a custom shelter or an industrial structure, solid steel containers offer a highly flexible platform for any of your projects or needs.

By using an ISO shipping container for your residential, industrial or office need, you are taking advantage of an environmentally friendly and economic platform. Our units can be built in half of the time of conventionally constructed buildings and offer many other advantages.

Our modification team is ready to provide consultation to make sure our solution will meet your project criteria in the most cost-effective way.

Shipping container modifications are not a recent phenomenon in some industries. Construction companies use shipping containers for mobile, on-site purposes like office space, break rooms, first aid rooms, and store equipment/supplies. Today, transforming these units is becoming increasingly commonplace as people use them to build tiny homes, retail/office locations, and more.

In addition to storage solutions, commercial owners can transform containers into a trade show booth. Construction sites find them valuable for numerous purposes. Other purposes are pop-up shops, outdoor classrooms, and food trucks.

Residential uses transform these modular containers into tiny homes, larger living spaces (because they are stackable), or cabin spaces. Homeowners turn to this design because containers are affordable and eco-friendly.

People choose shipping containers because there is no limit to their modifications. You can customize a container to suit any house style. It contains every amenity that a traditional house would have. Furthermore, they are smaller and more mobile for those who feel the open road is beckoning them.

ISO shipping containers provide an ideal portable, modular template. With a rugged and secure multi-use enclosure, you can ensure your valuables are kept safe. Whether you want to turn this space into a living area, industrial structure, or disaster shelter, our solid steel containers provide a flexible platform for your project requirements. ISO shipping containers for office, residential and industrial needs allow clients to benefit from its economic and eco-friendly platform. Units are constructed in half the time of traditional buildings, making them quite appealing. Our modification team is available for consultation to ensure our solutions meet your criteria. If you can’t find a container that meets your needs, our team can custom-design it.

  • Style: Owners can modify the modular design of the container to fit their style. Different containers will have various challenges and costs. Our team will assist you in determining the best one for your application by examining your needs.
  • Size: The most essential element in design is the required size. What you are using the unit for will affect cost and size. Additionally, since large containers cost more, consider modifying an existing container. Owners must decide whether they want to work with existing parameters or custom-build.
  • Used vs. New: New containers are preferable for building a new home or in a visible location. Used containers are primarily for storage or rugged use. However, used containers can provide cost-savings for some, depending on age and state of deterioration.

When a customer begins planning the container’s conversion, they already have a purpose. Some customers arrive with plans they have seen on the internet, around town, etc. Others may want something unique. Our process involves several steps from inception to completion. These are:

  • Deciding your features and modifications. Once you know what you want in the unit, our designers will create a CAD. Owners can view our previous work for ideas.
  • New or used? Buying new or used containers may depend on your budget or size.
  • What interior features do you need? Once the container is selected, our team may need to decrease it to the correct size. If required, our team will begin the steelwork. Once cut, welding will be needed to complete the shell, which involves creating a door, back wall, or both. Customers will choose the number and style of windows. Any additional side doors, personnel doors, patio doors, or roller shutters require additional framing/cutting into the unit. Customers can choose living/sloping roofs for added appeal.
  • Does it need repainting? Once we complete the steelwork, we respray the container with your chosen colour. Owners must consider the container’s placement, whether they want it to stand out or blend in with nature.
  • Do you need cladding? Exterior wood is a trendy option for container conversions. It takes something with an industrial appeal to a wood cabin look. Repaints under the cladding extend the container’s longevity.
  • What about the extras? Depending on its purpose, the container may need insulation/lining (comfort, temperature control, and noise reduction), electrical (we mount fittings and weld steel strips to the interior to avoid direct drilling), and partitions.

People choose shipping containers for the following reasons:

  • Sustainability: Our new containers have a single-use transportation run. They are durable and structurally sound. Shipping containers are eco-friendly and provide a small carbon footprint, making them ideal for residential and business purposes.
  • Cost-Effective: New and used containers are more affordable than manufacturing or modifying existing shells from scratch. Their modular design provides a strong foundation for creative designs at a fraction of the cost of building.
  • Adaptability: Our team can modify these units to suit any application. They are fully customizable. Furthermore, since they are weather-resistant, they easily withstand harsh temperature changes, making them an ideal starting point.

Our experienced team can make any design a reality. These containers are flexible.

Modified shipping containers benefit commercial, military, government, municipal, residential, and industrial locations. They provide flexible, comfortable, and portable living areas.
