Shipping containers: the flexible and portable building solution
Shipping containers are an ideal building material. Modify your container to incorporate almost anything, including windows, doors, electrics and air conditioning, and create as much internal space as you need by adjoining multiple units.
One significant advantage of using ISO containers for conversion projects is the worldwide standard infrastructure that can be accessed for economical shipping, rail transportation, trucking and handling.
We also provide a service for updating Container Safety Certification (CSC) requirements, so international shipping movements can continue where applicable.
