Portable Office and Project Room Interiors

A foldable container house can be supplied as an open room for local fit-out or prepared as a temporary office. Furniture, lighting, sockets, windows, doors and air-conditioner provisions are selected according to the approved layout and destination electrical standard.

Fast Deployment

Folding Structure for Rapid Site Installation

The roof, floor and folding side sections travel as one compact unit. At the destination, suitable lifting equipment positions the house while the installation team controls the unfolding sequence and secures the structural connections.

About ten minutes is a reference for unfolding one standard unit under prepared conditions. It does not include unloading, foundation preparation, leveling, anchoring, joint inspection, utility connections or interior commissioning.

  • Prepare a level foundation before delivery
  • Confirm crane capacity and lifting access
  • Keep workers clear of moving folding sections
  • Secure connections after the structure is fully opened
  • Complete anchoring and utility work before occupancy

Exterior and Applications

Foldable Prefab House for Camps, Offices and Accommodation

The same folding structure can be configured for different project functions. Room use, occupancy, sanitary facilities and interior equipment should be confirmed before production because they affect weight, loading and site connections.

Standard Configuration

Structure, Insulation and Utility Preparation

X-Type Folding Frame

The roof, floor and folding walls form one transportable structure that opens at the destination.

Insulated Wall Panels

The standard reference uses 50 mm insulated sandwich panels. Panel material and finish can be adjusted by project.

Roof and Ceiling

The roof system includes an exterior steel layer, insulation and an interior ceiling finish according to the selected configuration.

Floor System

A board floor base and selected finish provide the internal walking surface. Upgrades depend on room use and load.

Doors and Windows

Steel doors and project-selected windows can be positioned within the limits of the folding wall system.

Electrical Options

Distribution, lights, switches, sockets and air-conditioner provisions can be prepared for the destination standard.

Transport Planning

10–12 Foldable Units per 40HQ Container

The reference loading quantity is approximately 12 units for the lower folded version or 10 units for the taller folded version. The final number depends on folded dimensions, wall panels, doors, windows, internal equipment, furniture and accessory packaging.

Use the approved packing drawing as the shipment reference. Bathroom fixtures, furniture, stairs and other loose accessories may occupy additional container space.
