SO40 Container Site Office 40ft

In most cases some form of approval applies. A temporary office on an active construction site is generally covered by your development consent or a temporary structure permit, while a permanent office on a block normally needs approval from your local council. Requirements differ between states and councils, so talk to your council or a private certifier before you order. We supply drawings, dimensions and compliance documentation to support your application, and we cannot guarantee an approval outcome.

Yes. At about 28 m² there is room to divide the unit with internal partition walls, for example an office plus a meeting room, or an office plus amenities and a crib area. Send us your layout at quote and the partitions, extra doors and window positions are built in at the factory, which is far tidier than cutting the unit up once it is on site.

Production runs roughly 20 to 30 days once your order and drawings are signed off, then allow 20-30 days for sea freight, customs clearance and inland transport to site. For most capital city destinations, allow around 40-60 total calendar days door to door. Your quote confirms the exact build time, freight and delivery window for your address, and pricing is on request.

A 40ft unit travels on a semi trailer and needs a wide, firm, level approach with a generous turning circle, room beside the drop point for the crane to set up, and clear overhead space with no powerlines or branches in the lift path. Tight suburban blocks and steep driveways often need a traffic plan. Send photos and gate dimensions at quote and we will plan the delivery with you.

The standard unit is a commercial office, not a dwelling. If you want it as habitable accommodation on a block, it is built to order to NCC Class 1a requirements, with compliance documentation supplied, and it needs council approval and a plumber and electrician on site. Tell us the intended use at quote so the insulation, glazing, wet areas and services are specified correctly from the start.

No slab is required for temporary use. It sets on level ground, timber sleepers or a compacted pad and is levelled on its four corner castings. For a permanent install, a concrete slab or screw piles give a stable base, help with drainage and are often expected by a certifier. Because the unit is 12 m long, get your engineer to confirm the footing spacing for your soil class and wind region.

It arrives with a switchboard, LED lighting and power points already fitted, ready to run from site power or a generator. Final connection to mains is completed on site by a licensed electrician, who will also test and tag the installation. There is no plumbing in the standard office, so amenities are added either as a partitioned wet area at build stage or as a separate ablution block.

Every written quote confirms warranty duration, covered components, exclusions, remedies and the claim pathway through Future Modular Homes before an order is accepted for each project. You can also have the unit inspected and photographed by an independent third party before it ships. A commercial invoice, packing list and the quality documentation on file travel with every order.
