Contech 20Ft Office

Container Technology Limited: Contech 20Ft Office

Container Technology Limited (CONTECH) is a Kenyan company that converts decommissioned ISO marine shipping containers into fully fitted habitable spaces, from offices and clinics to homes and restaurants. Based at a manufacturing facility in Miritini, Mombasa, with a showroom at Fedha Plaza in Westlands, Nairobi, CONTECH handles every stage from 3D design through fabrication, insulation, electrical and plumbing fit-out, transportation, and final on-site installation. The Contech 20Ft Office is one of the company’s core products: a standard 20-foot shipping container converted into a fully functional workspace with internal finishing, lighting, power outlets, and climate management. It provides an immediate, relocatable office solution for construction sites, field operations, institutional campuses, and commercial premises, delivered to site ready to occupy without the months-long timeline and civil works of conventional construction.

Key Features:

• Upcycled 20ft ISO shipping container converted to a fully fitted office
• Internal finishing includes insulation, ceiling, flooring, lighting, and power outlets
• Turnkey delivery: arrives on site ready to connect and occupy
• Modular and stackable: containers can be combined side-by-side or stacked to create larger office complexes
• Relocatable: can be transported to a new site if requirements change
• ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system
• NCA (National Construction Authority) registered
• Notable projects include the first containerised banking halls in East and Central Africa, built for I&M Bank with fully solar-powered branches

Sustainability Features:

• Upcycles decommissioned shipping containers that would otherwise sit idle or be scrapped, diverting steel from the waste stream and giving it a second functional life
• Avoids the embodied energy of new wall construction (bricks, blocks, mortar, plaster), since the container’s steel shell is the primary structural and enclosure element
• Factory conversion in a controlled environment generates less waste than conventional on-site construction
• Modular design allows the unit to be relocated rather than demolished when no longer needed at a site, extending its useful life across multiple projects
• Steel structure is fully recyclable at ultimate end of life
• Locally manufactured and converted in Kenya (Mombasa)
