Offices, enclosures, shops, control buildings, cabins, and multi-container complexes, designed and fabricated under one roof in Texas.
Tell us what the container needs to do and where it is going. Our in-house engineering team draws it, our production floor builds it from 16-gauge Corten steel, and we deliver it to 42+ states, ready to set on level ground with no foundation.
A custom container build is only as good as the shop behind it. XCaliber designs, cuts, welds, insulates, wires, and finishes every unit at our 200,000 sq. ft. Texas facility with 70+ people across engineering, production, and support. Nothing is subcontracted to a third-party fabricator, so the drawings you approve are the unit that arrives.
Start with a 20′ or 40′ ISO container, new one-trip or certified used, and add what the job calls for: personnel doors and windows, roll-up or side-open doors, spray-foam insulation, finished interiors, electrical packages, HVAC, plumbing, and paint or branding. Join multiple containers for a complex, or modify a single box for a specific piece of equipment.
Because it is still a container, the finished build keeps every advantage of the shell it started as: crane-ready corner castings, forklift pockets, and a footprint that fits on a flatbed. It moves when the project moves, and it can be modified again later.
Custom builds run from a single window cutout to a multi-container complex. Recent projects include:
Most custom builds start from one of our standard lines and change from there. Open a line to see base configurations and delivered pricing for your ZIP code, then tell us what to add.
Insulated, climate-controlled offices in 20′ and 40′ lengths with windows and a personnel door at grade. Add restrooms, conference layouts, storage rooms, or join units into a complex.
Best for: jobsite, sales, and administrative offices that need a specific layout.
New and used containers modified with roll-up or side-open doors, shelving, lighting, insulation, and climate control, or converted into equipment enclosures and shops.
Best for: enclosures, tool cribs, and storage built around what goes inside.
Finished cabins with pine interiors, a full bath, and a kitchenette, or a shell you finish yourself. Add rooftop decks, awnings, shutters, bunk layouts, and solar options.
Best for: cabins, guest units, and rental units with custom finishes.
Send us a sketch, a spec sheet, or a description of what the unit needs to do. Our engineering team will draw it, confirm the build, and quote it with delivery to your site.
Watch a custom 40′ cabin come together for a customer who arrived with a very specific vision. The projects below show more of where custom builds end up.
A container fitted with water tanks and filtration for a remote site that needs its own supply, plumbed and ready to connect.
Shelving, lighting, and power in a lockable steel box that moves from job to job with the tools inside.
A specialty build for a customer who needed a range that could move. If it fits in a container, we can probably engineer it.
Framed and paneled walls, cabinets, countertops, flooring, and lighting that turn a steel shell into a room people work or live in.
Full side-opening doors and roll-up doors for forklift access, display, and equipment that needs to come and go quickly. See what side-open containers are used for.
Rooftop decks, awnings, shutters, and custom finishes on cabins built for lake lots, ranches, and short-term rental sites.
Every option below is installed at our facility before delivery. This is the standard menu; if what you need is not on it, our engineering team will draw it. New to container modifications? Start with the basics of modifying a shipping container.
Our own engineering team draws the unit and reviews it with you before fabrication starts.
3,500+ units a year through a 200,000 sq. ft. Texas facility, so a one-off build does not wait behind the line.
Every build starts from an ISO container built for ocean service, with lockable doors.
Delivered to 42+ states by truck and 40′ tilt-bed trailer, and set on level ground with no foundation.
Financing options are available on most builds. See Financing Options.
Over 80% of our customers come back for the next unit.
“We want to say a big THANK YOU for everything you did for us throughout the buying process of our new container. Josh, the delivery driver, was excellent! He even took some extra time to lend a hand and pull my stuck truck out of the mud!”
“I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate everybody’s effort on my project! Thank you for jumping through hoops to get that here for me! I am very happy with the finished product! I will definitely recommend you guys!”
“Our experience with XCaliber Container has been fantastic! From the initial design process all the way through construction, delivery, and follow up, we really couldn’t ask for anything more. We are in the planning process for our next unit and will definitely be using XCaliber again!”
Four steps from idea to delivery.
XCaliber delivers custom builds nationwide by truck and 40′ tilt-bed trailer. Units set on level, compacted ground, gravel or concrete, and can be craned into tight or developed sites. Plan for electrical service, and for water and sewer or septic if the build includes plumbing. See Delivery & Logistics for site preparation details.
Yes. Send the drawings, a spec sheet, or a description and photos of what you need. Our engineering team reviews it, confirms the build, and quotes it. If you do not have drawings, we draw it for you.
It depends on the container, the modifications, and the delivery distance. Standard offices, storage units, and cabins show delivered pricing for your ZIP code on their product pages, and custom work is quoted from the approved drawings. Financing is available on most builds. For a breakdown of what drives price, see How Much Does a Shipping Container Cost?
Lead time depends on the scope of the build and current production. Ask for the current lead time when you request a quote, and we will schedule the build into production with a date you can plan around.
Yes. Multi-container offices, complexes, and larger floor plans are engineered and built as a set, then delivered and joined on site.
In most jurisdictions a container set on the ground is treated as temporary equipment rather than a permanent structure, so it does not require the permitting a building does. Requirements vary by city and county and by how the unit is used, so confirm with the local authority. We can provide drawings and specifications, and our guide to shipping container permits covers the questions to ask.
Yes. Restrooms, showers, kitchenettes, and utility systems are plumbed at our facility and ready to connect to water and sewer or septic at your site.
Either. Finished builds with interiors usually start with a new one-trip container; storage-type modifications work well on certified used, wind- and watertight containers at a lower cost. We will recommend one based on the build.
Yes. Repeat builds to one approved specification, with forecasted lead times and private-label options, run through Fleet Manufacturing.
Yes. The project gallery shows finished offices, enclosures, cabins, and specialty builds, and our team can share photos of builds similar to yours when you request a quote. Beyond Storage: XCaliber Container’s Diverse Projects walks through several of them.
Most custom builds start from a standard line: Shipping Container Offices, Storage Containers, Workforce Housing, and Shipping Container Cabins. Repeat builds to one specification run through Fleet Manufacturing, and the industries we serve pages show the configurations utilities, contractors, energy companies, and dealers order most.
Tell us what the unit needs to do, where it is going, and when you need it. A member of our team will follow up to talk through the build, and our engineering team will draw and quote it from there.
