Container Conversion Workshops
Shipping containers are an ideal base for a conversion project. They are robust, portable and weatherproof, with lower costs than traditional building structures. In addition, they can be cut to any size and modified with a whole range of features, at a moderate cost. Containers Direct carry out container conversions on a daily basis, in our own workshops, overseen by a team of highly skilled and experienced designers and tradesmen.Workshop container conversions are one of our most frequent projects. We can produce anything from a one off individual container conversion to large scale jobs involving multiple containers for large companies. When converting containers to workshops, we start by using a Computer Aided Design to map out detailed plans in conjunction with our client, to ensure precise results. We can use new or used shipping containers and work with any size, including 10ft containers, 20ft containers and 40ft containers. Once we have the size and structure of the container sorted, we can fit a wide range of features suited to workshop conversions, ranging from ply lining to benches.
