Three ways to set up
Choose your temporary workspace
Ground-level container office
A fitted sea can with an office entrance, windows and services. Ask about an office-only layout or combined office and storage.
Explore sea can officesModular office
A standalone unit or connected modules for several offices, meeting rooms and shared facilities. Compare furnished layouts.
Request a modular office| Type | Placement | Layout to discuss | Check in the quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office trailer | Delivered on its chassis; installation includes the support and entry arrangement. | Open work area or partitioned offices, with optional meeting space. | Steps or ramp, setup, connections and pickup. |
| Container office | Unloaded onto prepared supports, with its entrance close to ground level. | Office-only or office/storage combination within the steel shell. | Finished internal width, door threshold and unloading method. |
| Modular office | One unit or multiple sections installed at the site. | Several offices, shared rooms or a larger open area. | Assembly, connections between sections and eventual removal. |
Supplier terminology overlaps. Specify the physical unit you want, as well as “mobile office”: a wheeled trailer, a container office or another modular format.
Plan the space
Start with people, then the floor plan
Tell the supplier how many people work there at once, whether you need a private office and how many seats you need for meetings.
Open office
Desks, circulation space and storage for the day-to-day team.
Office + meeting room
A partitioned layout for calls, plans and visiting contractors.
Office + washroom
A combined unit where water, drainage and servicing can be arranged.
Request the actual internal dimensions and a furnished plan. Available sizes vary by region and supplier.
Count everyday workstations separately from occasional visitors. Add the space taken by filing cabinets, a printer, coats and the door swing. If a meeting room doubles as a lunch area, describe that shared use so the proposed furniture and facilities match the working day.
A nominal length is not a furnished capacity. Partitions, entrances and washrooms change the usable layout. Ask for the drawing of the actual unit offered and mark where desks, chairs and equipment will go.

Equipment, setup and pickup
Inside the office
Heating and cooling, lighting, outlets, desks, chairs, internet provision and any washroom or kitchenette.
At your site
Truck access, placement and support, steps or ramps, power supply and any water or drainage connections.
Rental terms
Monthly charge, minimum term, extension rate, maintenance responsibilities and notice before pickup.
Total cost
Delivery, setup, equipment, rental for the full period, pickup, extra fees and applicable sales taxes.
Tell the supplier which seasons you will use it
Give the location, occupied hours and full rental period, including a possible winter extension. Ask the supplier to confirm the heating, cooling and ventilation package for that use, along with electrical supply requirements. A heater shown in a photograph does not specify the complete installation.
For a washroom, establish who provides water, drainage, servicing and any seasonal protection. Clarify access maintenance, snow clearing around entrances and who to contact if equipment stops working. Keep these responsibilities in the rental scope.
Budget the whole project
Ask for a cost from installation to removal
| Stage | Items to price | Question to settle |
|---|---|---|
| Before use | Delivery, unloading, supports, setup, access steps or ramp and utility work. | Which site work is yours to arrange before delivery? |
| During rental | Unit rental, furniture and equipment rental, servicing and utility consumption. | What is included, and who pays for maintenance or call-outs? |
| At the end | Disconnection, dismantling where needed, pickup and agreed cleaning or repairs. | When does rent stop, and what pickup notice is required? |
Compare totals in CAD including applicable sales taxes for the same scope and dates. Show a refundable deposit separately. Confirm the minimum term, billing period and extension rate; a “monthly” price alone does not explain a partial month or an early return.
If the end date is uncertain, ask how much notice is needed to extend or end the rental. Record who books pickup and whether charges continue until pickup, an agreed off-rent date or another contract milestone.
Delivery is one step
Plan when the office can actually open
01
Confirm the site
Send access photos and a placement plan. Check gate width, turns, overhead obstacles and the space for unloading. Agree supports, entrance orientation and any site preparation with the supplier.
02
Install and hand over
Schedule setup and utility connections as well as delivery. Check the supplied equipment against the order and record the condition. Get operating instructions and a service contact before staff move in.
03
Arrange removal
Give the required notice, remove personal equipment and agree disconnection responsibilities. Keep the pickup route clear. Review the condition and returned furniture with the supplier.

Mobile office rental questions
How much does an office trailer cost to rent?
Request a quote for your location, dates, floor plan and equipment. Compare rental, delivery, setup, utility connections, pickup and taxes. Furniture, steps and washrooms may be extra.
Is a mobile office the same as a sea can office?
Mobile office is a broad term. An office trailer usually has a chassis and wheels. A sea can office is a fitted steel shipping container placed at ground level. Modular offices provide other layouts and larger spaces.
Are heating, air conditioning and furniture included?
Ask for an equipment list with the quote. Confirm heating for the intended season, cooling, power requirements, desks, chairs and any washroom or kitchenette.
How quickly can a mobile office be delivered?
The supplier confirms availability and the delivery date after checking your site. Allow for transport, placement, access steps or ramps and utility connections before the office can be used.
