If you are planning out the site for an upcoming construction project that is far from your home office, you may be considering your options for providing yourself and your staff with an office area. As part of these options, you may be thinking about renting a portable office trailer.
Because these portable office trailers can come with many additional features, you may be having difficulty deciding which ones to use. Below are a couple of questions you can ask yourself about your and your staff's needs that can help you with making the decision about which features to add to the rental unit.
1. How Many People Will Be Using the Trailer for Office Space?
The first question you can ask yourself has to do with how many people will be using the office space. Will only you and your administrative assistant be using the space? Or will you have a larger staff or require the space for worker meetings?
If the space is only needed for a couple of people, you could either leave the space open or have a partition added to separate the workspaces. However, if you have a larger administrative staff, cubicles can be installed to give everyone their own space.
When your intended use for the trailer is both office space and worker meetings, you could divide up the space into a communal area for meetings with a separate place for cubicles. The rental company can help you come up with an optimal floor plan.
2. What Types of Valuables Will Be Left and Stored in the Trailer During off Hours?
Another question to ask yourself about the office trailer's usage has to do with what will be stored in the building. Will you be storing electronic equipment or other valuables in the trailer during off hours?
If so, ask the rental company about any security features that are available for the unit. They may be able to install heavy-duty locks, window bars, or even security cameras to keep the contents safe when you are not on site.
Asking the questions above before renting the trailer can get you started with choosing additional features that you will need. You may also be asked about other needs, such as heat and air conditioning, a small kitchen, and/or the wattage of plugs that you will need for the equipment.
For more information about available features, space sizes, and terms, contact a representative of a business in your area that offers mobile office trailer storage rental services, such as A-1 Rentals.
