Frequently Asked Questions About Containers and Buildings
What is the difference between a shipping container and a construction container?
A shipping container is designed to international standards (20 or 40 feet) for transporting goods by ship, rail, or truck. It is robust, watertight, and stackable. A construction container may include modified shipping containers or units specially designed for jobsites, often equipped with additional doors, windows, or interior fittings for storing tools or materials.
Is it better to buy or rent a container for my jobsite?
It depends on the expected duration of use. Rental is advantageous for short-term projects (less than 12 months) or if you need flexibility. Purchasing becomes more economical for permanent or recurring needs, and allows you to customize the unit to your specifications. Additionally, a purchased container retains resale value.
What are the standard container dimensions available in Québec?
The most common dimensions are the 20-foot container (approximately 6 meters long) and the 40-foot container (approximately 12 meters). There are also high cube containers (30 cm taller) and 10-foot containers for restricted spaces. Roll-off containers generally range from 10 to 40 cubic yards depending on the application.
Can a shipping container be modified or customized?
Yes, shipping containers can be modified in many ways: adding doors, windows, ventilation, insulation, electricity, interior partitions, access ramps, or custom painting. Many suppliers in Québec offer modification services or can recommend specialized contractors to transform a container according to your specific needs.
Do I need a permit to install a container on my property in Québec?
Regulations vary by municipality. In most cases, a temporary container on a construction site does not require a permit. However, for permanent installation (more than 90 days) or for residential or commercial use, a permit is generally required. It is recommended to check with your municipality before installation.
How do I transport and install a container on my site?
Transporting a container requires a truck equipped with an appropriate loading system (tilt-bed truck or crane). Most suppliers offer delivery and positioning services. Ensure your site is accessible, the ground is level and sufficiently solid, and there is adequate clearance for truck maneuvering.
