Shipping Container Office Kit
A shipping container office kit puts the materials for an insulated, heated and cooled office into one order: insulation, two windows, a steel door, an A/C unit with heat and an electrical package. The 20ft version is $8,301 this week, with delivery extra, and the container itself isn’t part of it. Order the kit with the container you’re buying here, or ask for a quote if you already have one.
Illustrative image Kit or finished office?
The kit suits you if you already own a container, or are buying one, and can handle the work: cutting the window, door and A/C openings, installing the insulation and wiring the panel. An electrician should make the connection to your site’s power. If you’d rather receive it ready to use, a finished container office comes built, insulated and wired.

Frequently asked questions
How long does installation take?
Our supplier rates the install at under a day. Allow longer if you’re cutting steel openings for the first time, plus the electrician’s visit for the hookup and any permit inspection. What the whole conversion costs next to a finished office: container offices.
Can I get a bigger A/C unit?
The kit comes with an 8,000 BTU A/C unit with heat, and a larger one can be requested. Say so in your request, and each quote prices it.
Is the container included?
No. The kit converts a container you already own or are buying separately. Shop shipping containers.
Can I install it myself?
The kit comes with detailed installation instructions, and the work is cutting the openings, fitting the insulation, windows, door and A/C, and wiring the panel. Have an electrician make the connection to your site’s power, and check whether your area requires a permit or inspection.
