Office Container Modules
Flexible module lengths for better building layouts
Office, corridor and connection modules from 4.8 to 9 metres
Not every modular building can be planned efficiently around one standard container length. CHV’s 16-ft, 24-ft and 30-ft office modules add useful intermediate and extended formats to the system, helping align offices, circulation routes and connecting spaces with the wider building plan.
These modules are used primarily within modular construction projects—as corridors, connectors, infill elements, extensions or individual rooms within a larger facility. Each model can also function independently as a complete office when its stand-alone standard configuration suits the requirement.
One product range, two different planning routes
For stand-alone use, each model is supplied with its defined standard office equipment. This provides a clear starting specification and price for a complete, functional unit.
Within a modular building, the same module is planned as part of the complete system. Door and window positions, internal partitions, open wall sections and connection points may change so that rooms and circulation work together properly. The selected length defines the structural module; the final equipment and openings follow the project.
Three sizes with distinct roles
The 16-ft module is a compact option for smaller offices, connecting rooms and shorter corridor sections. The 24-ft model creates additional room for longer workspaces or central circulation elements. The 30-ft module provides the largest uninterrupted area for offices, meeting rooms, training spaces or extended connecting zones.
All three use the established CHV office-container construction system and can be combined with standard 20-ft units and other modules to create coherent room layouts.
Planned as part of the complete building
Choosing the right length is only one part of a modular-building design. CHV coordinates the module arrangement with room use, circulation, access, building services, transport and installation requirements. This allows individual units to work as one complete facility rather than as a collection of disconnected containers.

Available for temporary modular requirements
Selected 16-ft and 24-ft office modules are also available from the CHV rental fleet
How CHV Office Containers Are Built
CHV office containers combine a welded steel frame with insulated floor, roof and wall elements, factory-installed electrical equipment and configurable windows, doors and internal layouts. The sections below describe the typical construction; the final specification is confirmed for the selected model and intended use. Explore office-container equipment and finishes >
Structural Frame & Modular Design
The load-bearing structure comprises a welded floor frame, roof frame and corner posts made from 3 mm galvanized, coated steel profiles. The modular design allows containers to be positioned individually, arranged side by side or combined into larger facilities. Wall openings and internal partitions can be planned around the required layout. Stacked solutions are possible where the project-specific structural design, foundations and approvals permit them.
Roof Construction
The flat roof uses a welded steel frame and a galvanized sheet-steel outer skin with sealed double seams. Mineral-wool or rigid-foam insulation and an internal ceiling lining complete the build-up. The insulation and lining are specified for the model, intended use and required thermal performance.
Floor Construction
A galvanized, coated steel floor frame with forklift pockets provides the structural base. The standard build-up includes 100 mm non-combustible mineral-wool insulation, an underfloor sheet layer, a 20 mm cement-bonded board and durable, low-smoke, flame-retardant 1.5 mm homogeneous PVC flooring. XPS insulation and alternative floor finishes are available for suitable applications.
Insulated Wall System
External wall elements combine coated galvanized sheet steel, mineral-wool insulation and a durable white internal lining. The same modular principle can be used for partitions, allowing practical layouts with consistent surface finishes. Thermal and acoustic performance depends on the selected wall build-up and openings.
Windows & Glazing
Standard office-container windows use insulating glazing with tilt-and-turn hardware and external roller shutters. Depending on the model and application, options include sliding windows, service hatches, fixed glazing and larger display or showroom glazing. Number, position and dimensions are coordinated with the layout and structural requirements.
Doors & Access
Single-leaf steel exterior doors with secure locking are the usual standard. Options include glazed door leaves, double-leaf doors, alternative entrance positions and interior doors. Wider or step-free access, ramps and platform solutions are planned as project-specific access systems rather than assumed as standard.
Electrical Installation
Factory-installed electrical equipment is adapted to the selected model. Full-size office-container models include a 400 V / 32 A / 5-pin CEE inlet and outlet, a distribution board with RCD protection, separately protected circuits, lighting, switches and sockets. Final equipment and the applicable electrical standards and conformity requirements are confirmed for the project and installation location.
Heating, Cooling & Ventilation
Heating provision depends on the model and configuration. Standard heater quantities for the full-size models are shown in the comparison table; heating remains optional for the 5-ft cabin. Additional electric wall convectors, mechanical extract ventilation and compact or split air-conditioning systems can be specified according to the intended occupancy and operating conditions. Capacity and placement are defined for the container size, glazing, insulation and site conditions.
Quality Control & Project-Specific Requirements
CHV office containers are produced and checked against the agreed specification. Structural design, fire-performance requirements, electrical documentation and any application-specific approvals or certificates are defined for the selected model, configuration and installation site.
