The typical mobile office unit in the U.S. features a cost-and-energy efficient single-phase split electric system that must be connected to a nearby power source and often basic telephone wiring as well. Because a variety of companies require the use of mobile offices, the size and configuration of the average mobile office varies too.
Some of the interior “luxuries” (or, amenities, depending on how you look at it) often available in mobile offices are:
-restrooms
-closets
-climate control
-partition walls
-conference areas
-coffee rooms
-built-in filing cabinets
-industry specific requirements (like blueprint tables and tool storage for construction)
-additional furniture
The exterior of your mobile office is fully customizable as well! The following options are often available:
-vinyl siding
-shingled roof
-skirts (to disguise the temporary nature of your office)
-ramps etc. to ensure compliance with the American Disabilities Act, a must if your mobile office will be open to the public
While the benefit of these options speak for themselves, keep in mind that the more specific you get with your mobile office, the fewer models you may be able to choose from, and the more expensive your mobile office may be. Many find that a “bare-bones” approach to mobile office leasing is the most cost-effective. According to Love, you can also customize the mobile office yourself for less money and more charm by “building your own steps for the trailer instead of renting the steel-frame steps that usually come with it.” With a little elbow grease and some imagination, the mobile office units can be personalized to fit your aesthetics.
Now that you know what you want in a mobile office, it is time to find the mobile office vendor that best suits your needs.
