Building projects are complicated. Whether you’re overseeing the construction of a large commercial facility, an entire planned development or one single-family house, leasing a construction office trailer makes sound business sense.
See how the pros at Eagle Leasing keep on top of all the moving parts with our top five advantages of jobsite trailers that construction leaders need to know.
1. Safety
Construction is a rain-or-shine business, and construction sites can be dangerous places. A construction office trailer offers cover from the weather and a safe place for first aid when something goes wrong. Whether you need to get out of the rain to examine the blueprints or one of your workers needs to escape the blazing sun before continuing his assignment, a jobsite trailer makes sure that safety comes first.
2. Security
The tools your workers use are valuable, as are the documents that keep your project legal and on schedule. Trying to safeguard all your tools and files in your truck will quickly become overwhelming. Protect them inside a construction trailer that includes a secure locking mechanism. Even if you add a construction storage container for materials and equipment — which is an essential complement to jobsite trailers — construction offices need a lock to prevent theft during off-hours.
3. Professionalism
A construction trailer outfitted as an office levels up on-site professionalism in a couple of ways. First, it gives the foreman a place to complete administrative tasks in peace and meet with clients to go over changes to the job specs. Second, it creates a clear boundary between workers and management, which helps everyone understand what’s expected. Of course, keeping the jobsite organized is key to maintaining a professional atmosphere. Our construction office organization tips include:
- Go paperless.
- Declutter daily.
- Choose multitasking furniture.
4. Flexibility
The advantages of renting a mobile construction office trailer are almost endless. Besides delivering your construction trailer directly to the jobsite when you need it, these beauties arrive fully outfitted with windows and climate control systems. Compared to renting brick-and-mortar office space, construction trailers are much more budget-friendly, and you can choose from a variety of sizes and options to suit your needs. Plus, when you lease jobsite trailers, construction projects with varying timelines get a lot simpler because there’s no long-term commitment.
5. Eco-Friendliness
Construction trailers save you a lot of money, but they also save a lot of wear on the environment. Reuse the same construction office trailer at your next jobsite by having us move it for you. You’ll have no building costs, and no new materials are needed. Besides, these are recycled shipping containers that were used one time to transport goods, so leasing one over other jobsite office options is an eco-friendly way to go. Even if you purchase rather than lease a construction storage container, you can maximize your container’s lifespan to avoid future spending and consumption.
