You’ve probably seen them before — those sleek, modern structures made from old shipping containers, tucked into gardens or perched beside offices. What used to transport goods across oceans is now being reimagined into something… well, a lot more stylish. At CDBI, that’s exactly what we do: take the ordinary, and convert it into the extraordinary.
What Can You Do With a Converted Shipping Container?
Honestly, almost anything. People are turning to converted shipping containers for garden offices, gyms, artist studios, backyard bars, home salons — even full-scale modular homes. It’s space that’s fast, flexible, and designed entirely around your needs.
And it’s not just about what you can do in them. It’s about how easy they are to work with. No major construction. No messy foundations. Just a custom-built unit, dropped into place and ready to use.
Why More Brits Are Choosing Modular Living
Let’s be honest — housing costs, space constraints, and planning permissions can make traditional home extensions a headache. That’s where modular buildings come in. They offer a smart, scalable alternative that can grow with you. Want to start with a home gym, then expand into a two-room studio down the line? No problem. It’s modular.
Plus, you don’t need to compromise on aesthetics. We design and finish every space with care — whether you’re after timber cladding, sliding doors, heating, WiFi installation, or mood lighting. Yep, mood lighting. It’s your space after all.
garden rooms That Feel Like a Real Escape
There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping into a garden room that’s all yours. Away from the house. Away from distractions. A space that’s dedicated to what you love — be it work, workouts, or winding down with a book and a glass of something cold.
And we don’t just drop a box in your garden and leave. From custom layouts and planning support to final installation and internal finish, we manage the process from start to finish.
