Shipping container offices give you a secure, weather-tight, jobsite-ready workspace at a fraction of the cost and lead time of traditional construction. 19 Leasing supplies turnkey container offices for rent and for sale across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and southern New Hampshire — delivered, leveled, and ready to plug in.
A shipping container office is a steel ISO shipping container that has been converted into a functional workspace. Standard conversions include man doors, windows, electrical (lights, outlets, panel, HVAC), insulation, interior wall and floor finishes, and lockable security. Because the container shell is already structural, weather-tight, and stackable, you get a finished office without pouring a foundation, framing walls, or pulling building permits in most jurisdictions.
Container offices are commonly used as construction trailers, jobsite project offices, guard shacks, breakrooms, sales offices, secure storage with workspace, and semi-permanent satellite offices. They are tougher than a standard mobile office trailer, easier to relocate, and far more secure.
Approx. 160 sq ft. Compact single-room office, ideal for a 1–2 person jobsite trailer, guard shack, or project office where space is tight.
Approx. 320 sq ft. Room for a desk area plus a small meeting space, or two separate rooms with an interior wall partition.
Half-office / half-storage configurations let you keep tools, materials, and paperwork secured in the same locked unit.
Need extra windows, a specific door layout, additional HVAC, or a custom interior finish? We can spec a build to match your jobsite requirements.
Best for projects with a defined timeline, seasonal needs, or when you want to preserve capital. Monthly rental includes the unit and is easy to scale up or down as your project changes. Delivery and pickup arranged with your schedule.
Best for permanent or long-term jobsite locations, yards, depots, and operations that will need the workspace year after year. Owning eliminates ongoing rental costs and the unit becomes a re-deployable asset.

Pricing depends on size (20ft vs 40ft), the build spec (windows, doors, HVAC, finishes), whether you're renting or buying, and delivery distance. Call us at 401-434-6200 for a quote on your specific configuration.
Permit requirements vary by city and by how the unit is used. Many jobsite uses don't require a permit because the office is considered temporary. For permanent installations or in certain municipalities, a permit may be required — check with your local building department.
A reasonably level, firm surface that a delivery truck can access. Gravel, packed dirt, asphalt, or concrete all work. We'll level the unit on delivery using blocking as needed.
Container offices are delivered by tilt-bed truck or roll-off and set in place at your site. Make sure there's clear overhead access (no low-hanging power lines or branches) and adequate maneuvering room for the truck.
