A new office cabin should be selected around the work taking place inside it, not simply by its external length. The number of users, preferred layout, site security and available delivery space all affect which office will be suitable.

Use the listings below to compare compact individual offices, secure site offices and larger open-plan units. Check the internal arrangement as well as the stated dimensions: door and window positions, heaters, sockets, partitions and security fittings can make two similarly sized cabins work very differently in practice.

What varies between new office cabins?

Office cabins are available in different forms for construction projects, commercial premises, industrial yards and temporary workplace requirements. Typical uses include site-management offices, project offices, gatehouses, meeting rooms and additional workspace during refurbishment or expansion.

Many units in this range use anti-vandal construction, but the term does not describe one fixed security package. The individual specification may include steel-clad construction, a steel personnel door, secure locking and shutters or other protection over glazed openings. Check the door, lock, window and shutter arrangement shown for the selected product rather than assuming that every anti-vandal office is identical.

The internal fit-out also differs between products. Depending on the office, the listed specification may include internal lining, electrical sockets, lighting, heating and an open-plan or partitioned arrangement. Treat the product page and confirmed quotation as the specification for the unit being ordered.

Read our guide to anti-vandal cabin construction, compare used portable offices where buying new is unnecessary, or review our delivery and positioning guidance before assessing access to the proposed location.

Choosing a New Portable Office Cabin

Start with the working day the cabin needs to support. Establish who will use it, how many people may be inside at the busiest time and whether the space is needed for concentrated desk work, meetings, site administration, visitor control or several activities at once.

Once those requirements are clear, compare the available products against four practical constraints: usable internal space, layout, security and delivery access. This is more reliable than choosing a nominal cabin size first and trying to make the operation fit afterwards.

Choose the Right Office Size and Layout

Count regular users and peak occupancy separately. An office used by two people throughout the day has a different space requirement from one occupied by a larger team during shift changes, project meetings or site briefings.

Allow for more than desks. Storage, filing, printers, chairs, meeting space and clear movement routes all use floor area. Where privacy or noise separation matters, decide whether the office needs one open room, an internal partition or a separate meeting or management space.

Product dimensions normally describe the approximate external length and width. The usable internal area will be smaller because of the structure, insulation and lining. Fixed elements such as doors, windows, heaters, sockets and partitions further influence where furniture can be placed.

Do not estimate capacity from the external dimensions alone. Review the photographs and specification, then provide the expected number of users and a rough furniture or room arrangement when enquiring. A simple sketch is often enough to show whether the proposed layout is realistic.

Match the Office to Its Intended Use

Different office roles place different demands on the same amount of space:

Gatehouse or access-control office: a compact footprint may be appropriate, but visibility, window position and door orientation become particularly important.
Site-management office: space may be needed for desks, plans, records, equipment and discussions with contractors or visitors.
Project or team office: several workstations, storage and meeting space may be more important than keeping the external footprint to a minimum.
Temporary business office: heating, lighting, electrical provision and an arrangement suitable for normal administrative work may take priority during refurbishment, relocation or expansion.

Where the requirement includes substantial canteen, changing, drying or other welfare facilities, compare the wider new portable cabin range rather than forcing several functions into an office-led layout.

Security, internal specification and layout changes

Security Is a Specification, Not a Label

Anti-vandal office cabins are intended for locations where stronger protection is required, particularly where the unit may be left unattended or positioned in an exposed part of a site. However, “anti-vandal” should not be treated as a universal security grade.

Compare the complete arrangement shown for the individual office. Relevant details include the external construction, personnel door, locking system, number and position of windows, glazing type and the form of shutter or window protection supplied.

The intended site also matters. An office positioned inside a controlled compound has a different risk profile from a gatehouse beside a public entrance or a unit left unattended in an isolated yard. Explain the location and expected use when enquiring so that any essential security requirements can be identified before quotation.

Confirm the Internal Fit-Out

There is no single internal specification that applies to every new office cabin. Before ordering, identify which elements are essential rather than relying on a general category description.

Open-plan or partitioned internal arrangement
Required door and window positions
Number and approximate position of workstations
Electrical sockets and other electrical requirements
Lighting and heating requirements
Storage, meeting-room or private-office space

Some units may be available with alternative arrangements or additional work included in the quotation. This could involve partitions, revised openings or additional electrical fittings, depending on the selected cabin and the requested changes.

Feasibility must be confirmed for the individual unit. Construction method, requested work and current production capacity can all affect what is practical. Any agreed alteration should appear in the written quotation and final specification.

Delivery, site access and quotation details

Delivery Starts at the Site Entrance

A clear space for the office is not enough if the delivery vehicle cannot reach it. Assess the complete route from the site entrance to the proposed landing position, including the space required to manoeuvre, unload and operate any lifting equipment.

Check entrance width, bends and turning space, parked vehicles, buildings, trees, overhead cables, low structures, soft or uneven ground and the distance between the vehicle and the final position. Space may also be required for the vehicle’s stabilisers during lifting.

The appropriate vehicle, crane reach and offloading arrangement depend on the selected office and the site conditions. Where access is restricted or uncertain, provide measurements and photographs before delivery is quoted. Our delivery and positioning information explains the main access and lifting considerations.

Also ask the team to confirm whether any ground preparation, supports or base arrangement is required for the selected office and proposed position.

Send Enough Detail for a Useful Quotation

A product link and postcode provide a starting point, but they do not describe how the office will be used or whether it can be delivered to the intended location. Include the following information with the enquiry:

The preferred product or approximate office size
The intended use and expected number of regular and peak users
Any required rooms, partitions or workstation arrangement
Essential security, electrical, lighting or heating requirements
The delivery postcode and preferred timescale
Entrance, access-route and landing-area measurements where space is restricted
Photographs showing the entrance, route and proposed office position

New Portable Office FAQs

What types of new portable office are available?

The range can include compact individual offices, gatehouse-style cabins, secure anti-vandal site offices and larger open-plan or partitioned offices for project teams. The products shown, their sizes and their specifications can change, so compare the current listings and enquire where a different arrangement is required.

Does every anti-vandal office have the same security features?

No. Anti-vandal describes a security-focused type of cabin construction rather than one identical specification. Doors, locks, windows, shutters and other protective features vary between products. Check the individual listing and confirm any essential security requirement in the quotation.

What is included as standard with a new portable office?

There is no single standard fit-out across the complete range. Depending on the product, an office may include internal lining, windows, a personnel door, electrical sockets, lighting, heating and security fittings. Use the product page and confirmed quotation as the specification for the selected office.

How do I choose the right office-cabin size?

Start with the number of regular users and the maximum number likely to occupy the office at one time. Then allow space for desks, chairs, storage, equipment, meetings and movement. Because the listed dimensions are normally external, review the internal arrangement and fixed fittings before deciding whether the usable space is sufficient.

Can the internal office layout be changed?

Some new office cabins may be available with partitions, alternative openings or other changes. What can be altered depends on the selected unit, its construction and the work requested. Provide a clear description or sketch of the intended arrangement so feasibility and cost can be assessed before the order is agreed.

What information is needed to arrange delivery?

Provide the selected office, delivery postcode, site contact details and information about the complete access route and landing area. Include entrance measurements, turning restrictions, overhead obstructions, ground conditions and photographs where access may be difficult. The delivery vehicle and lifting arrangement will then be assessed for the specific unit and site.
