To many, a shipping container is little more than a large steel box. But to you, and us here at Upminster Containers, it’s an opportunity to create a new space, and a chance to expand your business or improve your home life. We provide premium converted shipping containers off all sizes, tailored to your needs.
Modular buildings have been utilised in the education and construction sectors for years, however they are now gaining popularity with a range of different industries. Their cost-effectiveness and ease of delivery makes them an ideal choice for temporary and permanent requirements.
Share Your Vision
Whether it’s a few written notes, a sketch, or a quick conversation, the process starts with you showing us what you want your container to become.
Planning
We’ll get to work turning your vision into a reality, with estimates, layouts and visualisations that bring your project to life. Usually, a 20ft or 40ft container is best for converting into a new space, but we can work with all container sizes and even connect units next to or on top of each other if you require a bigger space.
Dedicated Point Of Contact
We’ll assign an Upminster Containers Account Manager to your project. They will be someone you can reach out to if you ever need information or help.
Feedback And Approval
We’ll work with you to agree on a final drawing for your unit, ready to go into production.
Build
We’ll schedule factory time to build and fit out your converted shipping container.
Branding
Want your container to carry your corporate colours, brand logo, or other imagery? We can add painted designs or decals to personalise your unit.
Delivery
When your container is finished, we will deliver your unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that the site and its foundations are suitable and ready to receive your converted shipping container.
Connections
Our partners at Templant can provide generators to power your shipping container. Qualified electricians and plumbers will be required to connect your electricity and water supplies ready for you to move in.
Who knew that the humble shipping container could be so versatile? Well, us actually! We’ve transformed so many containers into different sorts of spaces, and seen so many other innovative uses of these steel boxes, that we totally understand how many different ways they can make a difference to people’s businesses and home lives. Here are a few examples:
A standard container transformed into a fully-equipped laboratory for Oxitech’s groundbreaking work against malaria. This unit is lined, insulated, and fitted with laboratory work counters and sinks, creating a secure and functional space for crucial research.
