Our sectors

Construction

Willbox is a key supplier to the UK construction industry and a proud member of the MPBA (Modular and Portable Building Association). From major infrastructure projects and large residential developments to smaller commercial builds, we supply site accommodation and container conversions that keep construction teams productive, compliant, and comfortable - whatever the scale or duration of the project.

Why containers work on construction sites

Construction sites are dynamic environments. Layouts change, timescales shift, and the on-site requirements at the groundworks stage look very different from those at fit-out. Containers are uniquely well-suited to this kind of project, because they can be delivered quickly, repositioned as the site evolves, and returned or purchased at the end of the build.

They're also built to withstand the conditions that construction sites throw at them. Steel construction, weather-resistant finishes, and secure locking systems mean your equipment, materials, and personnel are protected whether the unit is used for a few weeks or a few years. And because Willbox offers both hire and sale, you're not locked into a one-size-fits-all commercial arrangement - you can choose what makes the most financial sense for your project.

Container solutions for construction

We supply direct to developers, main contractors, and builders, as well as replenishing and maintaining hire fleets for other suppliers. Our product range for the construction sector covers site accommodation and operational containers, including:

We also regularly supply containers that form structural elements of the build itself - where the container becomes part of the building design rather than a temporary site addition. It's an increasingly popular approach for commercial and mixed-use developments where speed of construction and cost control are priorities.

Hire or buy - whatever works for your construction project

We offer containers and site accommodation on both a hire and purchase basis. For the construction phase of a project, hire is usually the most practical option - you take what you need for the duration and hand it back when the project completes. Where containers are being incorporated into the permanent structure or are needed for long-term site management, purchase typically offers better value. Many of our construction clients use a mix of both, and our team can help you work out the right approach for your specific situation.

Why choose Willbox?

As a member of the MPBA, Willbox operates to recognised industry standards for modular and portable buildings - which matters when you're specifying accommodation for CDM-compliant sites. Our team understands the welfare and health and safety requirements that apply to construction sites and can advise on the right products to meet them.

We operate from 20+ depots across the UK, which means fast, cost-effective delivery to sites nationwide. Whether your project is in a city centre or a rural location, we have the logistics capability to get units to site on time. Our drivers and delivery teams are experienced in working on active construction sites, and we pride ourselves on the quality and speed of our positioning service.

If you need multiple units across several sites, or you're managing a rolling programme of work, talk to us about an account arrangement - we work with a number of larger contractors on an ongoing basis and can flex supply to match your pipeline.
