How to order modifications

If you already have a freight container, we offer a pick up service for Perth suburbs and regional areas, on the other hand, if you are planning to buy a shipping container for modifications, you may wish to consider the various sizes and types available. In order to help you finalise your modification specs, we have provided below a guide to categories of portable container buildings and some of the installations we offer.

Portable Buildings

Shipping container modifications are limited only by your budget and imagination. We typically have requests for portable modified builds in a variety of sizes and configurations that suit different types of residential, commercial, and industrial environments, such as construction or mining sites. With our container modification service, shipping containers become cost cost-effective, highly portable alternative for clients requiring storage facilities and workshops of a permanent or portable nature.

“This is made from a shipping container but he had the vision of transforming it into something like the Easter Island statues. The curved line and the nose and eyes make it almost come alive. The location is good and people are attracted to it. He’s pulled it off.” – Mr Melancholy by Paul Stanwick-Wright.
