Indonesia
An office container is a container modified into a portable workspace or functional office, suitable for both temporary and permanent needs. In Indonesia, office containers are used by businesses and operators, including construction companies, mining firms, plantations, and the energy sector that require proper work facilities at remote project sites.
At Tradecorp, office containers are available in standard 20ft and 40ft sizes, and units can be shipped directly to your location from Jakarta, Surabaya, Balikpapan, or Sumbawa. Modification is carried out at the factory under strict quality control, ensuring consistent, ready-to-use results. Office container prices at Tradecorp start from Rp37,000,000, far more cost-effective than building a conventional office.
With a short turnaround time of just 1-2 weeks per unit, and ease of relocation from one site to another, office containers are a practical choice for businesses that need fast field infrastructure.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Needs
Use a 20ft office container if you need space for a small team or a project site with limited land area. Choose a 40ft office container if you need a larger workspace, such as for a director’s office, meeting room, or multi-department field office.
Benefits of an Office Container
Many companies in Indonesia, especially in the construction and mining sectors, are switching to office containers for being cheaper, faster, and relocatable compared to building a conventional office. Here are the benefits of using an office container.
1. Cost-Effective
The procurement cost of an office container is relatively low, far below the cost of permanent building construction. There’s no need for a large budget for foundations, concrete framing, or building finishes. Savings can reach 50-70% compared to building a conventional brick office of the same size.
2. Short Turnaround Time
Since components are already manufactured at the factory and only need to be assembled on-site, a single office container can be ready for use within 1-2 weeks. Compare this to conventional construction, which can take months.
3. Portable
Units can easily be relocated by truck to any location, including remote areas. This is highly advantageous for mobile projects, such as road construction, mining, or plantation projects. No assets are left behind once the project is completed.
4. Full Modification Flexibility
An office container can be modified to suit your specific needs, such as adding AC, double windows, sliding doors, solar panels, LAN network systems, internal toilets, or even custom interior office container designs. Each unit can be reconfigured as needs change.
5. Durable Steel Structure
Made from ISO-standard Corten steel (weathering steel), office containers are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, high wind pressure, and intensive use. With minimal maintenance, a unit can last more than 10 years.
6. Environmentally Friendly
Repurposing container units reduces the need for new materials and cuts down construction waste, aligned with the sustainability principles increasingly prioritized by major companies in Indonesia.

Is a Portacamp Container the Same as an Office Container?
A portacamp container is a type of modified container specifically designed as temporary housing or office space in the field, at mining sites, construction sites, or oil and gas locations. The term “portacamp” comes from the words “portable” and “camp,” reflecting its function as a complete portable facility.
Portacamp prices vary depending on size, facilities, and modification level. At Tradecorp, portacamp units are available in configurations that can include beds, bathrooms, workspaces, and kitchens, making them a self-contained accommodation solution for long-term field projects.
