Modified Containers Overview
A shipping container is a structural shell – incredibly strong, weatherproof, transportable, and stackable. A modified container takes that shell and turns it into a fully functional building. Site office, ablution block, workshop, change room, accommodation unit, kitchen, plant room, lab, pop-up retail, or anything else you can specify. The container does the heavy lifting on structure and weatherproofing; the modification does everything else.
We build modifications at our Perth workshop using a team of qualified electricians, plumbers, carpenters, HVAC technicians, and certifiers. Every project starts with a design consultation – your operational requirements, site constraints, compliance obligations, and budget – and finishes with engineer-signed drawings, compliance certificates, and a unit ready to drop on site and connect to services.
We don’t subcontract modifications offshore. Every container we modify is built in Perth, by Perth tradespeople, against Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000 for electrical, AS/NZS 3500 for plumbing, NCC for habitable space, AS 4994 for safety where applicable). That matters because compliance is what gets your unit signed off by the building surveyor, the mine site safety officer, or the council – and what protects you when something goes wrong.
Modifications fall into a few standard categories: Site Offices with desks, partitions, lighting, climate control, and IT cabling. Ablution Blocks with toilets, showers, hot water, and grey/black water connections. Workshops with workbenches, three-phase power, lighting, ventilation, and tool storage. Accommodation Units (dongas) with beds, climate control, and ensuites. Specialised Builds for labs, server rooms, chemical stores, kiosks, and bespoke applications. We also do mining-specific configurations – crib rooms, dry rooms, smoko rooms, lamp rooms, and electrical/control buildings.
