Custom shipping containers are a game-changer for businesses across Australia. Whether you need a site office, retail pop-up, or portable accommodation, a custom container is a flexible and durable solution that can be tailored to your exact needs. But how does the process work? Here’s what to expect from design to delivery when you work with a team like Modbox.

1. Initial Consultation

The process kicks off with a chat about your needs. This is where we’ll ask questions like:

  • What’s the container’s purpose?
  • Do you need insulation, plumbing, or electrical fit-outs?
  • Are there specific dimensions or features you require?

Once we understand your goals, we’ll provide advice on the best container type and modifications to suit your vision.

2. Custom Design & Planning

Next, our team gets to work designing your container. This includes detailed plans for modifications such as:

  • Doors and windows.
  • Internal layouts and partitions.
  • Specialised features (e.g., shelving, ventilation, or hazardous material storage).

We’ll make sure the design meets your requirements and complies with Australian safety and building standards.

3. Container Selection

Once the design is finalised, we source the right shipping container for the job. This might be a new-build container for a pristine finish or a used cargo-worthy container for a budget-friendly option.

4. Construction & Modifications

Here’s where the magic happens. The container is customised by our skilled team to bring the design to life. From cutting and welding to adding finishes like paint, flooring, and electrical systems, every detail is handled with precision.

5. Quality Checks

Before delivery, your custom container goes through rigorous quality checks to ensure everything works as planned. This includes:

  • Structural integrity inspections.
  • Testing electrical and plumbing systems (if included).
  • Ensuring all modifications meet your requirements.

6. Delivery & Installation

Once everything’s ready to go, we organise delivery straight to your site. Whether it’s a metro location or a remote worksite, we’ll make sure your container arrives safely. If installation is required, our team can handle that too – no worries.
