Office container with toilet a new way to an attractive workplace

Events such as pandemics or economic crises always introduce revolutionary changes in various areas of life. The latter have radically changed, among other things, the perception of office spaces. Remote work, which a few years ago was the domain of only a few modern industries, has become the everyday reality of many enterprises. This applies to both large corporations and small family businesses. Thus, the demand for large-scale office space is falling, and there is a need for alternative solutions. Could be a great solution office container with toilet. It is not only inexpensive, but also Mobile and small - and small objects are currently the most desirable.

 

Why is it worth choosing an office container with a toilet instead of a traditional office

Due to its advantages, such as ease of erection, short lead time and relatively low cost, containers office furniture are an excellent choice for many companies. Objects in various sizes are available on the market. Importantly, as the company grows or more employees need to return to stationary work, office it can also easily expand.

 

Low costs

Build your own building allocated to the office is time-consuming and very expensive. The prices of renting space in office centers, especially in large cities, are also not low, and at the same time they become a fixed cost incurred every month. In smaller towns, an additional problem may simply be the unavailability of attractive office space. 

An office container with a toilet is an excellent alternative to both building and renting space. It is inexpensive to purchase and its maintenance costs are low. They are available on the market pavilions already with an area of ​​6 m2which are a good proposition, e.g. when the office will be used by employees only occasionally and may be rotating. It is worth remembering that there is also the possibility of renting container office. Although a fixed cost is then generated, it is significantly less than the price of space in any other location.

 

Expandable

Office containers with WC, similarly to other facilities of this type, have a modular structure. Therefore, at any time, you can expand your company's headquarters with new modules. Interestingly, it is possible to expand not only horizontally, but also "vertical", i.e. upwards. Containers offered by renowned manufacturers can be stacked. For this to be possible, they must be properly structured. It is worth making sure that the selected office container with toilet is made to a good standard. The frame must be made of cold-bent sections with a thickness of 4 mm, while the final stability of the building will be ensured by columns bolted to the upper and lower frames (they must also be made of durable sections, preferably cold-bent). Only such a durable construction allows for stacking. And this is an interesting option, because on a smaller area of ​​land, you can fit a larger office space and divide it into zones: for example, arrange a meeting place with clients on the ground floor, and workplaces on the first floor.

 

Short lead time and easy assembly

An important argument for dynamically operating entrepreneurs is the fact that an office container with a toilet does not require a lengthy process of obtaining building consent. When meeting the conditions set out in the construction law (Article 29(1)), it is enough to notify the relevant authority, most often the District Office.

The "building" process itself offices is also short. The first and often the longest stage is the development of the project and the selection of the necessary equipment. When you decide to cooperate with an experienced manufacturer, you can shorten this stage, because the contractor's experts will optimally advise you on what is best to choose. When the project is ready, it remains to order and wait for implementation. At the destination location office container with a toilet, all you need to do is prepare the foundation from ready-made foundation blocks, which will not take more than one day. The facility is placed on the foundations using a crane or HDS, and it takes several minutes.

Office container with toilet and health and safety regulations

The conditions that must be met by the workplace of people, regardless of the industry, are set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Labor and Social Policy on general occupational health and safety regulations in par. 15: Work rooms and their equipment should provide employees with safe and hygienic working conditions. In particular, in work rooms, natural and artificial lighting, appropriate temperature, air exchange and protection against moisture, unfavorable thermal conditions and sunlight, vibrations and other factors harmful to health and nuisance should be provided. 

The above regulations specify the requirements for office space, and a properly selected office container with a toilet will meet them without any problems.

Basic requirement: sanitary and social facilities

Each employer, in accordance with the above-mentioned provisions, is obliged to provide employees with appropriate working conditions, inter alia, by separating back-up facilities social. How such facilities should be designed depends on many factors, including the number of people who will use the office or the type of work performed.

For example, when the office will be only a place of work and visits from outside are not planned, then the kitchen facilities can be a cupboard, an electric kettle and a microwave oven. The situation is completely different in the case of officeswhose main function is the representation and reception of customers. Here, the kitchen must also accommodate a coffee machine, a refrigerator and more space to store crockery. 

The design of the bathroom zone also depends on the purpose of the office and the number of employees. The toilet with sink is perfectly adequate in a small area office for several people who perform sedentary work. However, it will not work if the container is to be an office for the team on the construction site of a large housing estate - in this case it is mandatory to design a washroom area with a shower.

 

Lighting in an office container with a toilet

It is impossible to ensure comfort of work without the influx of natural light. High-quality office containers are not only equipped with optimally sized windows as a standard, but their manufacturers also give the opportunity to change their number, size and location depending on the individual project. It is worth choosing a container equipped with a modern, tight PVC joinery to help meet another requirement of the regulations, i.e. ensuring the right temperature. However, when choosing sources of artificial lighting, it is best to buy a container equipped with LED lamps. Colors of light close to natural are available, which is better for the eyes, especially when working at the computer. In addition, they consume minimal amounts of electricity.

 

Interior comfort: temperature, air exchange, protection against moisture

Each room where people are present must be provided with appropriate conditions. The key factors for comfort are temperature, proper ventilation and air humidity. They are strongly interrelated, and keeping them at an optimal level depends on the construction and insulation of the building, in this case the office.

Each facility that is to serve as an office must be year-round, and thus well insulated. Solid producers containers office buildings use mineral wool combined with a vapor barrier foil for this purpose. For the insulation to play its role effectively, the wool should be approximately 100 mm thick. The next insulating layer must be a laminated board attached to the inside of the container. An important element of an office container with a toilet is the roof, which must also be insulated. Similarly to walls, mineral wool and foil are used. Good quality insulation is of great importance because it not only provides warmth in winter, but also ensures that the room will not be too hot in summer.

 

Will an office container with a toilet work in any industry?

Headquarters in the container is the perfect solution, regardless of the industry. Certainly, it is best suited as the first office for a start-up business or for companies that employ few employees. Building The modular design of the containers, however, gives virtually unlimited space scaling, so large enterprises can also use them. 

An office container with a toilet is an unconventional space, and therefore it will work well in creative industries, e.g. as the headquarters of an advertising agency or a design office. It is also an inexpensive space, so it will be suitable for micro-companies, for example, from the accounting or insurance industry, where a place to meet clients is needed, and usually 2-3 people are employed. In addition, it is a mobile building - ideal for the seasonal services industry or broadly understood construction companies.
