Offices
You can use a 10-foot shipping container to add workspace to your home or business or worksite quickly. The open container office will offer you a professional and polished workspace in an environment that is safe and climate-controlled. You can place the shipping container directly on the ground, no foundation is necessary. Aesthetically, you can expect the shipping container to give off a vibe that is both structural and modern. This makes the use of shipping containers as a workspace very appealing.
Another advantage is that it is typically a lot cheaper to use a 10-foot shipping container as an office versus building a structure from the ground. In fact, it can be cheaper to use a shipping container versus prefabricated materials. If you have a shipping container, the base form already exists. All you need to do is fortify and insulate the shipping container to make it habitable. Shipping containers are very modular, so you should find it easy to expand you see fit.
Restrooms
A 10-foot shipping container can be customized to be a bathroom. Unfortunately, many people view restrooms on oil fields or industrial job sites as unsanitary. Traditional port-a-potties and mobile restrooms also tend to be viewed as unclean and uncomfortable. Shipping containers can be used as a more comfortable, durable, and clean alternative. Shipping containers modified to be used as restrooms tend to be easier to clean and long-lasting. Modified shipping containers have done wonders when it comes to boosting the morale of employees and making worksites more efficient.
Breakrooms
If you don’t have enough room for a designated break room, you should consider using a modified shipping container for this purpose. All you need is to add climate control to make the environment more habitual. You also have the option of adding plumping. Using a modified shipping container as a break room will also do wonders for employee morale and will give your employees a comfortable place to wind down and relax before they return to work.
Concession Stands
Building a concession stand from scratch can take some time and funding. A 10 ft. concession stand can be customized to your exact specifications. They are a much quicker alternative than constructing a new building. These containers can be optimized for a variety of needs, whether you are looking to serve food, sell tickets & merchandise.
