20' Container Office

Forty feet of insulated, finished, climate-controlled office — split into a main work area and a private side room. Designed for the kind of crew that runs full-day operations from a single point of command.


Every 40-foot office is built from a cargo-worthy, high-cube steel container, then upgraded with R-19 insulation, dual mini-split HVAC, four sliding windows, two personnel doors, and a 200-amp panel. We finish the inside in vinyl plank, shiplap, or full drywall — whatever you want walking in on day one.

Design and Planning

We create a customized plan for your project, including layout, modifications and features.

Build and Modification

Our team completes the construction and all requested upgrades with careful quality checks.

Delivery and Setup

We deliver your container to your location and make sure it is placed safely and ready to use.

Features of the 20' Office
Built for Bigger Operations.

01

Spray-Foam Insulated
1" closed-cell spray foam across every wall and the ceiling locks in the temperature and keeps condensation out — critical in Texas heat and cold fronts alike.

03

30-Amp RV Electrical
Five outlets and three LED lights run off a 30-amp RV connection — straightforward to hook up on any site with a generator or utility feed.

02

Dual Windows for Light & Air
Two 3'×3' windows with welded steel burglar bars let in natural light and ventilation without compromising security.

04

Climate Controlled
One 12,000 BTU mini-split keeps the full interior comfortable year-round. Heats in winter, cools through summer — no window units, no wall fans.

Real Projects. Real Results.

Why Choose this container

What People Build with a 20' Office

01

Field Foreman's Office


Run daily operations, keep plans dry, and take calls in a real office — not a trailer seat or a truck cab.

02

Dispatch & Scheduling Hub


Set up one crew member to handle scheduling, manifest checks, and radio coordination from a central point on site.

03

Two-Person Work Station


Desks along both side walls, a printer in the corner, and room to spread out plans. Comfortable for a two-person administrative crew.

04

Remote Agricultural Office


Perfect for ranch management, irrigation operations, or timber sites where a permanent building isn't practical.

05

Retail Kiosk or Pop-Up Store


Branded paint, your signage, and a clean interior for a customer-facing sales or service location.

06

Tool & Document Storage Office


Split the space — desk and files on one end, lockable shelving for small tools and supplies on the other.

POPULAR CUSTOM CONTAINER MODIFICATIONS

Custom Modifications

Additional Windows


Need more light or ventilation? We add windows in any size and position, each fitted with our standard fully welded steel burglar bars.

Kitchenette


Mini fridge, countertop, sink, and microwave rough-in. Keeps your crew fueled without leaving the site.

Rooftop Deck


Turn the top into usable space — observation, equipment mounting, or antenna/comms platforms.

    Local deliveries for empty boxes are delivered within 1 to 3 days. For shipping container offices and custom modifications, the lead time varies depending on the specifications of your project. 

  • Do I have to pay before delivery?

    For custom container builds and shipping container office conversions, we require a 50% deposit up front.  The balance is paid upon completion of the project.

  • Can I choose between new and used containers?

    For empty containers for storage and other uses, we offer both brand-new and quality used containers, inspected for structural integrity and weather resistance.


    For shipping container modifications and office builds, we exclusively use one-trip containers to ensure the best longevity of your project. 

  • What types of modifications do you offer?

    If you can dream it, we can build it. From roll-up doors and windows to insulation, electrical, shelving, and custom paint, our team can build exactly what you need.


    We can join multiple containers together, trim a 20' down to a 10', or any other number of complex modifications. 

  • How much does delivery cost?

    Delivery rates vary by location and distance from the nearest hub. We always provide an all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees.

  • Can you deliver to my site if space is tight?

    Yes. Our team will discuss access requirements in advance and use the appropriate truck and equipment for your site. We have experienced delivery drivers on staff that can deliver even in tight spaces. We will discuss all the options with you during the buying process.
