If there’s one thing that you can be sure of in our world, it’s the fact that you never get bored if you are a designer here at S Jones Containers. There are always new challenges that are presenting themselves in terms of design, requiring thinking outside the box, high levels of technical knowledge, and a great deal of creativity.
Our designers have created everything from custom-built plant rooms for water treatment systems, to modular homes, to state-of-the-art lithium battery storage facilities, to stunning portable restaurants.
Converting Modular Units
The main task our designers have is to help to bring the dreams of our customers to life. They are professionals in the world of design with the technical know-how to create an effective and attractive end-product that keeps our customers happy and many of them coming back to us time and again.
The process of adapting one of our shipping products is a simple one. If you are thinking about buying a portable space to customise, you can come and have a chat with our design team who will be able to explain your options to you and help you to come up with the final blueprint.
Our fabrication team will then bring the design to life at our own facilities. You will be kept updated throughout the fabrication process and visits to our site can be arranged so that you can see its progress.
Remember – if you have a less conventional need for a converted shipping container, our designers enjoy a challenge! Why not run it by them and see if they can help?

Computer-Aided Design
Here at SJ Containers, our designers’ best friend is our design technology. The computer-aided design technology that we use allows our design team to create the perfect plan, giving them and our customers accurate 3D models of their future set-up.
Another huge benefit to this technology is that it allows several people to work on the design at the same time, ensuring that all those with the expertise are involved when they need to be as well as speeding up the process.
Our genius designers thrive on coming up with unique solutions to any of your design requirements, using their skill and ingenuity. No two days are the same and no challenge is too big!
