Converted Shipping Containers.

Steel shipping containers are built for a tough life, traversing the globe on ships, rail, and lorries. However, their strength, security, longevity, and manoeuvrability make them ideal building blocks for constructing portable buildings for many uses at a very affordable cost. With many years of experience in shipping container conversions, Eldapoint transforms the humble shipping container into highly adaptable, functional, and stylish space solutions.

Our team has the vision and expertise to customise and transform a shipping container's basic steel box structure into a dedicated space tailored to your unique needs. Whether you want a pop-up shop, cosy cafe, portable office, classroom, gym, exhibition stand or anything in between, contact us to take your idea from concept to completion.

What can shipping container buildings be used for?

If you can imagine it, we're pretty confident Eldapoint can design and build it! We have worked on a wide variety of container conversion projects, including places to work, protect, eat, sleep, exercise and even dance.

Some projects only call for a relatively simple, secure box footprint for safely housing inventory. Other designs must be comfortable welfare accommodations where people eat, rest and sleep with full shower and toilet facilities. Some container conversions must operate in demanding industrial environments, protecting essential electrical or communications equipment 24/7. In contrast, with the addition of rooftop balconies, decking, bi-folds and external cladding, you have a fun, stylish space to showcase your brand or entertain customers. Working with Eldapoint, we can create a perfect space using the highest-quality materials and workmanship with a competitive price tag.

Benefits of container conversions

Shipping container conversions offer a multitude of advantages, from cost-effectiveness and sustainability to speed of construction and design flexibility:

Cost-Effectiveness
Top of the list is affordability. Compared to a traditional build, there are significant reductions in construction and labour costs. Materials are readily available, build time is reduced, and shipping containers require less foundation work.

Sustainability
Repurposing shipping container buildings is an environmentally friendly choice. It reduces the demand for new building materials and repurposes containers that might otherwise be scrapped. By choosing container conversions, you contribute to reducing your carbon footprint.

Durability and Strength
Steel shipping containers are designed to withstand harsh conditions at sea, making them incredibly durable and resilient. They are resistant to extreme weather, pests, and physical impacts, ensuring a long-lasting and secure structure for any application.

Versatility and Modularity
The modular nature of shipping containers allows for great flexibility in design. Containers can be easily stacked, combined, or expanded to create larger spaces. Additionally an excellent array of optional internal and external design features can be incorporated into the final build to enhance security, fire resistance, aesthetics, functionality, comfort or accessibility.

Quick Construction Time
Shipping container conversions can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional construction methods. The core structure is already built, and most modifications can be done off-site, minimising disruption and allowing for rapid deployment plus a return on investment.

Portability
Shipping containers are inherently portable, making them ideal for applications where mobility is crucial. They can be transported by rail, ship or truck allowing for easy relocation if needed.

Converted shipping containers for a wide range of sectors

Shipping container buildings are incredibly versatile and can be adapted for a multitude of uses across different sectors. Whether you require a single-unit office or a multi-story commercial facility, our design team has the expertise to bring your vision to life. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including design, engineering, manufacturing, fit-out and installation. Our skilled professionals work closely with clients from all industry backgrounds to understand their specific requirements and create tailored solutions that exceed expectations.

• Commercial: Shipping containers can be transformed into retail stores, pop-up shops, cafes, bars, and offices. Their modular design allows for easy customisation and expansion, making them ideal for seasonal businesses, events, or experimental retail concepts.
• Events and Hospitality: Temporary accommodations, event spaces, and pop-up bars can be quickly and efficiently constructed using shipping containers. They can be customised to create unique, memorable experiences for festivals, exhibitions, and entertainment hubs.
• Education: A shipping container conversion is versatile enough to provide adaptable spaces for learning, administration, and student support. These durable, eco-friendly structures offer a quick setup and value for money, ensuring schools and universities can rapidly expand or upgrade their facilities.
• Healthcare: Shipping containers are also being used to create medical clinics, emergency response units, and testing laboratories. Their durability and quick setup time make them an excellent choice for both temporary and longer-term healthcare facilities.
• Utilities and Comms: Our secure units are trusted to house mission-critical equipment for power generation, water supply, and comms networks. This includes tailored container conversions for energy battery storage, switch gear housings, biomass boilers, effluent tanks, and charging pods.
• Construction: The portable and rugged nature of converted shipping containers makes them ideal facilities for construction sites such as office space, canteens, restrooms and secure storage.
• Transportation: Relocatable equipment buildings (REBs) support the Rail and Highways sectors with secure, robust housings for signalling, comms and power equipment.
