Description
The 10ft Accommodation Container from Big Bear Containers is a rugged, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.
This 10ft accommodation container is a purpose-built living unit converted from a COR-TEN weathering steel container base, fully insulated and fitted with a stove, pre-installed electrical system and lighting, windows, a lockbox-equipped secure door, and standard air vents as standard inclusions — ready for immediate occupation on delivery. At 2.991m external length, this is a compact but fully functional single-occupancy accommodation unit suited to construction site welfare, remote location housing, and temporary on-site living where a larger modular building would be impractical or excessive. This unit is not CSC certified — it is designed for stationary accommodation use only and cannot be used for international freight operations.
The stove is included as standard — the only unit in our range to include cooking equipment as a standard fitting — making this a more complete accommodation solution than a basic welfare cabin or insulated office unit. The electrical installation and lighting are pre-fitted for connection to a mains or generator supply on site. Climate control beyond the standard air vents is provided by optional air conditioning and heating units — specify these at time of order if required. Windows are standard, with an upgrade to windows with PVC shutters available for enhanced privacy and security in higher-risk site environments.
Floor material is specifiable at order — choose between a wooden floor for a warmer, more residential feel or a steel floor for maximum durability in heavily trafficked or wet environments. Two forklift pockets allow straightforward repositioning on site. The unit is stackable — suitable for multi-level site accommodation configurations. Any RAL color is available — specify your preferred RAL code at time of order. Internal dimensions are not confirmed — finished internal clearances will be reduced from the 2.991m external length by wall insulation and lining thickness on all sides. Confirm internal dimensions with Big Bear Containers before ordering if specific furniture or equipment clearance is a requirement. For guidance on temporary accommodation structure siting and permit requirements in the USA, refer to the International Code Council building standards reference.

Construction & Durability
Every panel on this 10ft accommodation unit is factory-fresh one-trip steel, formed into corrugations that carry load across the wall rather than through it. That is why a container this size can be stacked several high fully laden and still open cleanly on a level pad.
Delivery & Site Preparation
Your 10ft accommodation unit arrives on a tilt-bed and is placed directly on your prepared pad. A short unit like this drops into tight yards and side lots that a 40ft delivery could never reach. Overhead clearance is the detail people forget: branches and low lines will stop a tilt delivery cold, so check the approach as well as the pad.
Why Buy From Big Bear Containers
Buying new means you see no wear at all: no dents, no patch welds, no previous cargo. That grading is the whole point: it tells you what you are paying for. Cross-shop 8ft x 10ft Containers, or start with the buyers guide if this is your first container.
