Mobile Offices Alaska

The term 'mobile offices' may be confusing to some. For one person, it may conjure up visions of a car desk that are becoming so popular. For others it may make you think of Smart Phones, laptops with wireless connections and Wi-Fi at your Alaska airport. This is not what people in the construction industry mean when they use the term 'mobile office.' What they mean is a temporary building that serves as an office.

2. Mobile Office Overview

We already talked about what a mobile office is at its basest form. It is a temporary building that serves as an office. There can be permanent mobile offices as well, though those will be discussed in a later section of this article.

You have probably seen mobile offices around Alaska, mostly on constructions sites or places that are being expanded. While improvements or expansions are being made, rental trailers are used to house students, employees etc until their normal building is finished. Since remodeling or other projects can take weeks and sometimes even months or years to finish, it makes sense to erect some kind of temporary building that will serve as a new office until the old (or perhaps new one) is complete.

These offices should have the complete function of a regular office, though likely in much smaller quarters. They may not be well decorated and many look like construction trailers but they are easy to transport near Alaska and can generally be setup in just a matter of hours or days to accommodate everything from planned needs for the rental trailers to last-minute or even emergency same-day needs as well.

3. Are Rental Trailers Safe?

Many people around Alaska who have not had the opportunity to work in or at least visit a mobile office will often ask if they are safe. From the outside, some of the very basic models looks like they were hastily put together. There is generally little if any decoration and sometimes it is not even painted due to last-minute delivery (such as in natural disasters where temporary housing might be needed same or next day).

If you look inside one of these mobile offices, you will not see a huge difference from a regular office. They are just as safe and well-constructed as any other building. Though they do have a feeling of being temporary, that is because they are! You won't fall through the steps that lead to the construction trailer, nor will you fall through the floor once you walk in. The same precautions and safety measures that you would find during the construction of a regular office building are the same ones you will find with a mobile office. The size and location should be the only really distinguishing factors.

You can also get well-decorated rental trailers around Alaska that look like permanent buildings. Called permanent modulars, these will be discussed later on in this article.

4. Amenities of Mobile Offices in Alaska

People know little about them and you may not understand the amenities that you would find in Alaska rental trailers. Amenities mean the features and add-ons that you can expect once you start housing your business or office inside of a mobile office.

The truth is you should expect almost the same amenities as you would in a regular office building, though admittedly reduced in size and aesthetics. Many ask a very valid question—do construction trailers have bathrooms in them. The answer to that is both yes and no. Yes, some have a bathroom while others do not have a bathroom inside of them.

When you order your mobile office, you can request that it have a bathroom in it. These bathrooms would have a toilet and sink in them like you would find in any bathroom. Once again, they would likely be much smaller due to the closed quarters as compared to a regular building's bathroom. Many construction trailers around Alaska do not come with a bathroom because at construction sites, there are generally portable bathrooms on site. For this reason, there is no need for extra bathrooms, so companies may forego a bathroom in the mobile office in order to save money and resources from someone having to come and clean out an additional septic tank.
