Container Modification Guide

Common container modifications, what to decide before asking for a price, and how customized units are quoted and covered.

Common modifications

  • Access: roll-up doors, personnel doors, extra cargo doors, side openings
  • Light & air: windows, vents, louvers, turbine vents
  • Interior: insulation and lining, partitions, shelving and racking, flooring
  • Services: electrical fit-out, lighting, climate control, plumbing for bathrooms
  • Exterior: repainting, cladding, signage, lock boxes

Finished examples are in container offices, portable bathrooms and custom container solutions.

Choosing the base unit

One-trip containers have straight panels and clean floors, so cutting, framing and lining go faster. High cube units keep a comfortable ceiling height after insulation. Used containers cost less but may need panel or floor work first. See the condition guide.

What to tell us

  • What the unit will be used for, and by how many people
  • Size, and where each door and window should go (a hand sketch is fine)
  • Power available on site, if electrical work is wanted
  • Any local permit or code requirements you already know about
  • Delivery ZIP code and timing

How it is quoted

Customization is scoped and priced per job, in writing, before work starts. Send the details through the quote form — you can attach sketches and photos.

Warranty

Modified and prefabricated units carry 6 months from delivery under our warranty policy, which lists what is covered.
