40ft Container Office for Sale in Kenya: The Ultimate Portable Workspace

In today’s fast-paced Kenyan economy, speed and efficiency are paramount. The 40ft container office offers the ultimate solution for businesses needing a robust, fully-equipped, and instantly deployable workspace without the time and expense of traditional construction.

At Frontier Containers EA Limited, we transform the durable 12-meter (40-foot) High Cube container—chosen specifically for its critical extra headroom—into a professional, comfortable, and fully-functional office complex. This is ideal for large construction site offices, mobile project management bases, or expanding corporate administrative space.

Why the 40ft Office is the Smart Business Solution

The 40ft unit provides approximately 320 square feet of usable space, offering the capacity and flexibility that a 20ft unit simply cannot match:

• Capacity for Teams: Easily accommodates multiple workstations, administrative staff, and separate functional areas.

• Modular Layouts: The 12-meter length allows for clever partitioning into 2, 3, or even 4 distinct spaces, such as an executive office, an administrative bay, and a meeting room.

• Rapid Deployment: Your workspace is fabricated in our yard in as little as 3 weeks. The finished, move-in-ready unit is delivered and installed on your site in a single day, minimizing disruption.

• Portability & Security: Built from CORTEN steel, the office is highly secure against theft. Should your project move, the entire office can be relocated by crane truck, making it a flexible, long-term asset.

Layout Options & Estimated Pricing

While the layout is entirely customizable, most clients opt for a partitioned design to maximize functionality.

(The estimated price range of Kshs 800,000 – 1,100,000 covers the complete fabrication of a single 40ft unit, including all standard features listed below.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for 40ft Container Offices

1. How much does a 40ft container office cost?

A fully fabricated, high-quality 40ft container office typically costs between Kshs 800,000 and Kshs 1,100,000.13 The final price depends on the internal partitioning, number of windows, and quality of internal finishes (e.g., tiles, kitchenette).

2. Are container offices too hot to work in?

No. A properly insulated container office is very comfortable.14 We combat the metal heat transfer by installing full thermal insulation and ensuring excellent cross-ventilation with strategically placed windows and doors.15

3. What is the typical layout of a 40ft office?

The 40ft is usually partitioned into 2 or 3 distinct rooms:

4. How fast can the office be ready and installed?

The fabrication process takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The physical installation and offloading on your prepared site takes less than one day.

Yes. We can join two containers side-by-side or stack them (with necessary structural reinforcement) to create spacious, multi-story office complexes.19

While we do the electrical wiring and preparations, we can recommend and install energy-efficient AC units upon request as an optional add-on, or simply prepare the necessary electrical points for your vendor to install them.
