FAQs
What sizes are portable site offices available in?
Our site offices for hire are available in 20ft and 40ft configurations. The 20ft unit has external dimensions of 6.06m x 2.44m x 2.90m, while the 40ft unit measures 12.2m x 2.44m x 2.90m.
Can portable site offices be stacked or built into a worksite compound?
Yes. Our site offices are engineered to be stackable and integrate with lunchrooms, ablution facilities, first aid rooms, and storage units to create a complete worksite compound. All stacked configurations include walkways and 10kPa overhead protection, making them a safe and practical solution for worksites with limited ground space.
What is the Site Hub and how does it differ from a standard portable site office?
The Site Hub is a 40ft solar-powered worksite facility built for remote and off-grid locations across Australia. Unlike a standard site office hire, the Site Hub is entirely self-sufficient, with built-in solar panels, 20kWh lithium battery storage, a fully equipped kitchenette, self-contained toilet, potable water supply, 190L fridge, and lunchroom capacity for up to 20 staff. The internal space can also be partitioned into dedicated office, storage, or break areas depending on your project requirements.
How is a site office delivered to my worksite?
Site office delivery is available via tilt tray, side loader, or crane truck, depending on your site access and requirements. Tilt tray delivery requires 6m height clearance, 3m width clearance, and 20m length clearance. Because our containers are 2.4m wide, they comply with standard Australian road width requirements and can be delivered without special permits or restricted-hours scheduling.
Can the Site Hub run completely off-grid?
Yes. The Site Hub is purpose-built for off-grid operation. Its combination of rooftop solar panels, 20kWh lithium battery storage, potable water supply, self-contained toilet, and 95L grey water tank means it can operate without grid power or external utility connections, making it ideal for remote construction sites, mining operations, and emergency deployments across Australia.
How quickly can a portable site office be set up?
Our site offices are engineered for rapid deployment and can be set up and operational in minutes once delivered, with minimal disruption to site activities. The Site Hub is similarly designed for fast deployment, getting your team up and running quickly even in the most remote locations.
Can the layout of a site office or Site Hub be customised?
Yes. Custom accessories, inclusions, and layout modifications are available across the full site office and Site Hub range.
The Site Hub offers a variety of internal layout options including office and lunchroom combinations, extended lunchroom, lunchroom and storage rack, and fully modular layouts that can incorporate first aid rooms, additional offices, or breakout spaces. Both single-toilet and dual-toilet (male and female) configurations are available to meet your site's WHS requirements.
For standard site offices, our team can work with you on specific internal configurations, additional equipment, or a bespoke worksite compound solution to suit your project.
What are the cost and emissions savings of the Site Hub compared to a diesel-powered setup?
Based on indicative operational analysis, switching to a Site Hub from a traditional diesel-powered site setup can reduce carbon emissions by over 95%, with approximately 9,646kg of CO₂ avoided over 12 months, and achieve over 90% net zero performance. In cost terms, estimated project savings exceed $25,000 over 12 months, with Site Hub weekly OPEX estimated at approximately $1,260 compared to $1,813.55 per week for an equivalent diesel-run operation.
