How a container becomes a cabin
- 01
Steel shell
A structurally certified shipping container is selected and inspected on the yard.
- 02
Cut & frame
Openings, insulation, and a timber or steel frame are cut and fixed into the box.
- 03
Fit-out
Electrical, plumbing, lining, windows, and joinery turn the shell into a liveable interior.
- 04
Site install
The finished cabin is delivered, craned, and connected on your block.
Cabins
Shipping containers converted into insulated, fitted cabins for Australian sites.
Containers
Plain shipping containers — 20ft and 40ft steel shells, sold as-is.
Yard Inventory
Newest cabins and container conversions leaving the workshop
Engineered shell
The container remains a structural steel module — openings are framed and certified, not cut ad-hoc.
Liveable interior
Insulation, lining, services, and joinery are built in so the unit is ready to occupy on arrival.
Site ready
Delivered as a complete module. Crane on, connect services, and hand over with warranty cover.
