A folding portable container office arrives folded and opens up on site. A crane lifts the roof, the walls unfold, and the crew braces the walls, sets the end walls, bolts the ends together and fits the door lock. Two workers can set up one unit in about five minutes.

What comes pre-finished
The door, windows, wall panels and electrical are all pre-finished at the factory. That is why setup is fast: the crew opens the unit, braces it and bolts it together. There is no framing or wiring to do on site.
How setup works
- Lift the roof. A crane lifts the roof and the walls unfold.
- Brace the walls. A steel tube supports the two long walls while the first end wall goes in.
- Bolt the ends together. The end wall bolts to the frame.
- Seal it. PVC gaskets make the joints waterproof.
- Second end wall. The wall panel on the other end goes in the same way.
- Door lock. The lock is fitted to the door, and the office is done.
