Storage
Storage units are a great option for those who want to save space or protect expensive objects against the elements. The choice is usually between purchasing a new container or a used one. Many new containers are delivered flat and can help reduce the time to delivery and assembly. In this configuration, they are still strong and secure. They are also portable for man. These cubes are available in standard sizes of 20ft and 40ft, and can be used in conjunction to create larger storage spaces.

Shipping containers are a versatile and durable product which can be reused many times over their lifetime. While they can be used as storage units but more and more people are choosing to customise them after purchase to make maximum use of their potential. Some of the most popular uses include a shed for the garden, a gym for home use or a workshop to store equipment and tools.
Shipping containers are usually recycled at the end of their lifespan, but it is more environmentally friendly to reuse them and keep these valuable steel pieces as long as possible. This can reduce carbon emissions from carbon embodied and limit the need to further damage the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are a type of eatery which serves food and drinks. They are renowned due to their relaxed, cozy spaces and the flexibility of their operating hours. In contrast to restaurants, which typically serve formal meals cafes typically offer relaxed menu items like sandwiches and light meals. They also may have art exhibits and other cultural events to encourage community engagement. The term is distinct from the uninspiring "Coffee Shop" which has a more enduring meaning both in Australia and the UK.
Offices
