Use a Shipping Container for Your Remodeling Project

Remodeling projects represent the figurative bridge between something now and something new.

These endeavors see companies undertake massive operations that can be long, complex, and messy. Sometimes entire areas are uprooted and entire structures overhauled, resulting in a lot of work and a lot of confusion unless things are organized properly.

Having the right tools and equipment for the job is vital, but this isn’t just about the components in your toolbox or the machines on the worksite. 

Shipping containers are versatile units that can provide storage, safety, and even administrative functions. When you need a container to help keep your location organized and your operations on track, remember the name DRYBOX. 

Remodeling Can Get Messy – But We Help You Tidy Up

Remodeling projects often see locations being stripped down, torn up, or pulled apart so they can be remade better.

While the mess is necessary, it’s a mess nonetheless – and any operations manager wants to keep the clutter and confusion to the absolute minimum for the sake of productivity. A storage trailer is the versatile solution that keeps your worksite running smoothly no matter the project.

Organization Breeds Efficiency 

Imagine having a singular place to store tools, supplies, components, equipment, and gear. In this application, the shipping container acts as a central hub that can automatically boost productivity. You’ll never have to worry about your team lacking what they need – they’ll always know right where it is.

Several containers can even be used and labeled appropriately for larger and more complex projects. No matter the department, sector, or branch of the worksite, you can have all the appropriate storage space to keep track of everything and keep it where it needs to be for work to be done.

Take Projects at a Proper Pace

Anyone who’s ever run a remodeling project knows that things don’t always run smoothly from start to finish. There are many things that can disrupt the flow of a project, including:

• Budgets: A lack of funding or incorrect estimates can put projects on pause.
• Weather: Heat waves, cold spells, heavy precipitation, and high winds can delay work.
• Legalities: Permits, licenses, and contract disputes can take weeks or months to resolve.

Shipping containers allow you to pack away belongings securely whether the project gets halted for a few days or the rest of the year. And rather than having to take the time and pay money to bring everything back once the project gets the green light to restart, you can simply unlock the doors and get to work.

Protect Belongings, Secure the Worksite

A remodeling worksite can be full of noise, clutter, and dust. This makes it an easy spot for accidents to occur. When you use a shipping container to secure your belongings, you’re not just doing it so you can improve productivity – you’re doing it so you can improve safety.

With a secure central location for items, you won’t have to worry about people tripping over loose cords, stepping on stray screws, or knocking over half-assembled items left outside. As an added bonus, storage units make it easier to avoid items being stolen from your worksite once you leave for the day.

Modify Your Trailer for Any Project Need

While many people may think of a shipping container as simply a storage unit, it can be much more than that. With the right amenities, it’s capable of acting as a mini facility all on its own. It can be a meeting area, planning hub, front office, security center, breakroom, and more.

Consider outfitting your storage unit with some of these amazing modifications that we offer. 

Security and Safety Solutions 

We offer everything you need to keep your units safe and secure. We offer a variety of box locks, as well as keypad systems and deadbolts. You can also add shutters and bars to windows for added protection. 

If people will be working and staying inside, you may want to consider some of our additional safety options like exit signs, emergency lighting, and panic hardware. 

Doors and Windows

If a container is being turned into a building, these are some of the main features it needs. Door options include roll ups, steel Man doors, sliding glass, sliding or swinging barn doors, commercial, and breach. You can also go with a sturdy marine hatch, or the classic factory cargo door setup. 

For windows, you can go with double-pain vinyl siding windows, sliding glass, or picture windows. If you want constant ventilation, consider framed openings. You could have windows installed on your doors or even get skylights installed. 

Flooring, Paneling, Insulation, and Paint

We bring everything you need to outfit your container inside and out. Flooring and paneling can provide you with the surfaces you need to walk safely, mount tools on the walls, reduce the chance of electric shocks, and get to work in your container office. Shelving is also available. 

Insulation makes it easy to control the temperature inside, which is handy for both the people and the equipment within. Finally, paint gives the containers a bit of aesthetic flare. You can paint them to match your company’s colors, or color code them for specific purposes and areas.

Electrical and HVAC

Every work area needs reliable electric hookups. Since a person’s required amps, switches, and outlets will differ depending on their needs, we provide the option for you to build a custom box here.

Ventilation is also important for keeping the area comfortable for both the safety of individuals and the preservation of their property. Our containers can be fitted with air conditioners or heat pumps. We also offer a variety of vent options including louver, turbine, or powered roof, as well as attic fans. If you’re using your unit to handle temperature-sensitive inventory, we also offer refrigerated units.

Buy or Rent? We Offer Both Options

Whether you’re looking to buy a container and make it a permanent addition to your facility, or you only need to rent it for a limited time, we offer both options for your convenience.

The shipping container is an underrated and highly versatile tool that any remodeling project can benefit from. Keep your worksite organized, safe, and efficient by investing in one of these units to keep your operations running smoothly.
