Office Containers
22 products
Office containers are habitable modules made from containers, complete with door and windows, used as site offices, staff rooms and temporary or permanent workstations. The brand included is Garico Box.
Types in the collection
- Single-room offices, with a floor area of a few square metres, ready for desks and furniture.
- Converted 20 ft containers, with door and windows cut into the structure.
- Workshop modules or service rooms, for more operational activities.
The advantage of a module made from a container is speed: it arrives already assembled, is placed on a level base and can be moved when the site or the business relocates.
How to choose
Consider the floor area you need, the number of windows and doors, and how the module will be positioned on site: you need a stable base and access for the transport vehicle. Ask whether the container is new or used and which interior finishes are included.
AMES works on a quotation basis: tell us the quantity, dimensions and intended use and we will recommend the most suitable solution, with availability and delivery times.

Frequently asked questions: Office Containers
What is an office container used for?
An office container is a habitable module made from a container, with a door and windows, designed as a site office, a staff room or a workstation. It arrives already assembled and can be positioned quickly, which makes it practical for building sites and temporary work. It can also be used as a permanent structure, if local regulations allow.
What floor area should you choose for a container office?
Product titles include offices of about 7 m², 13 m², 14 m², 19.2 m² and 30 m². Choose the area according to the number of people, the desks and the furniture you have to fit, leaving space for walkways and the door. For offices with more people, a larger module or several modules side by side is worthwhile.
6-metre office or converted 20-foot container?
The 6-metre modular office is a module already designed for use as an office, with compact dimensions. The converted 20-foot container starts from a standard container, with a door and windows cut into the structure. The choice depends on the space available and the type of use. Ask the supplier which modifications were made to the original structure.
Office container with glazed front: what does it involve?
The glazed front brings natural light into the office and improves visibility to the outside. Product titles include a 13 m² sales office container with glazed front. Consider the position of the glazing relative to the sun, because a highly exposed space can heat up and require adequate air conditioning. Also check that the structure is designed for that opening.
Office container for permanent use: are permits needed?
A permanently installed container office may require building permits, procedures at the local council and checks on the intended use of the land. The rules change from council to council, so before installation enquire at the technical office. For temporary site use the procedures are often simpler.
What connections does an office container need?
An office normally needs an electrical system, a water system and, if necessary, wastewater drainage. Heating and cooling should be assessed according to use and climate. Ask the installer which systems are already provided in the module and which must be installed, because this affects the installation and the timing of the work.
Residential or multi-purpose office container: what is the difference?
The residential office container is designed for living or service use, with more attention to comfort and systems. The multi-purpose one is more generic and adapts to different uses, such as an office, a technical room or a changing room. Check the intended use stated on the data sheet and the insulation and system characteristics.
How do you position an office container safely?
The container must be placed on level, stable ground, on suitable bases or supports, with clear access for the lifting vehicle. Keep a safe distance from excavations, overhead power lines and vehicle manoeuvres. During lifting follow the instructions of the manufacturer and the site manager.
