Electrical Inclusions and Certificate of Compliance (CoC)

Every unit is wired with a distribution board, LED lighting, and dedicated plug points as standard, with the executive range including a 12,000 BTU air-conditioner.

Absolute Containers issues one on every unit as standard, not as an add-on.

A 12,000 BTU air-conditioning unit is also installed in our executive office containers for climate control. This combination keeps internal temperatures stable through harsh summers and winters, easing the load on cooling equipment and keeping staff comfortable regardless of outside conditions.

Built in-house and backed by a 12-month warranty. Every unit is manufactured in-factory and backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty. Commercial customers, including Nesa Power, have relied on Absolute Containers for office container installations over multiple years, with a track record of consistent quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every office container comes standard-equipped with a distribution board, LED lighting, and dedicated plug points; wired and tested before dispatch. For teams with higher power demands, additional circuits, plug points, or lighting can be requested when contacting our sales team for a quote.

Yes. Absolute Containers issues a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) on completion of our 6m and 12m basic and executive office containers, once the electrical installation has been tested and signed off. We issue this as standard on every order, not as a paid extra.

Yes. Both our basic and executive options are available in 6m and 12m lengths. The 6m option suits a single office or small team. In comparison, the 12m option provides roughly double the floor area, useful for site management teams, shared offices, or projects requiring a boardroom or reception area within the same footprint.

Yes, you can. Absolute Containers offers both purchase and rental options to suit project length and budget. Our rental options suit short-term site work, seasonal projects, or trial placements before committing to a purchase, while purchasing is typically more cost-effective for longer-term or permanent deployments. Contact our sales team to discuss options based on your specific requirements.

Every purchased unit is backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty, covering the quality of the conversion and installation. This gives customers recourse on build defects, distinct from any manufacturer warranty on bought-in components such as the air-conditioning unit.

Yes, they are. Additional plug points, lighting circuits, partitioning, alternative flooring, or upgraded finishes can be added at extra cost to meet specific site or operational requirements. Companies with non-standard layouts, such as a reception counter, split office and storage space, or additional windows, can request a custom specification at quote stage.
