Container offices come in three standard sizes. The right one depends on how many people work in it and what has to fit alongside them.
| Size | Floor Space | Typical Use | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3m (10ft) | Compact | Guard hut, single-desk site office | 1 person |
| 6m (20ft) | Mid-size | Standard site or startup office | 2 to 3 people |
| 12m (40ft) | Large | Team office, split rooms, meeting space | 4 to 8 people |
All three sizes are available to buy and convert. Rental offices come in 3m and 6m only.
Need more room than a single 12m gives you? Units can be joined side by side or stacked to build a larger or multi-level office. Ask the design team what your site can take.
You can have your office built on a new (one-trip) container or a used one, and both are converted to the same finish. A used base costs less and suits most site offices, while a new base gives a cleaner exterior for a client-facing or branded unit.
Every office is weatherproofed and painted inside and out, then finished to the spec you choose, whatever the starting container. See how container grades compare before you decide.
Rental office units come insulated and air-conditioned. Each has two windows with internal burglar bars and a cut-out door with three-lever locks. Basic electrics are wired in ready to use.

A basic site office is ready to work in from day one. The standard build includes:
Container Land also fits optional extras to your specifications before delivery, so the office arrives finished exactly the way you want it. You can add insulation, air conditioning, floor coverings, and interior panelling for a luxury finish, along with your own branding on the exterior, turning the office into free advertising on site. Simply tell the design team what you need, and they will build it into the unit before delivery.
Every office is converted at the Container Land yard before it reaches you, so it arrives finished rather than as a site project. From its base in Cape Town, Container Land delivers purchased and converted container offices to sites across South Africa, with transport arranged to and from your location.
Timeframes depend on the size and the level of fit-out, so a basic site office turns around faster than a fully panelled, air-conditioned team office. Confirm your date with the team when you request the quote and they will give you a realistic lead time.
A container office is priced according to the build. The main cost drivers are:
Because every office is built to order, the most accurate price comes from a personalised quote. Tell Container Land the size, fit-out requirements, and whether you want to buy or rent, and you will receive a price for that exact unit.
