Once you decide on a construction site office, you’ll sign a contract that outlines all the relevant terms, including delivery and removal processes. Typically, you’ll have to show proof of insurance, both liability and property, before even signing the contract. Established businesses will usually have to pay the first month’s rent and all setup fees, while individuals or new businesses may be asked to pay a damage deposit and/or the last month’s rent, as well.

Delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days. If you need your construction site office sooner, you may be able to pay extra to get a rush shipment, but in some cases the dealer’s schedule just won’t allow it.

Once it’s delivered, installation of a construction site office is fairly simple. No real site prep needs to be done in advance – an appropriately-sized patch of semi-level land is all it takes. Construction offices are towed behind trucks for delivery, so make sure that the spot you’ve chosen has access for the truck and trailer to get in, as well as enough room for the delivery crew to work.

The delivery crew will use cinder blocks to stabilize and level the office. They’ll also install appropriate ground anchors depending on the soil conditions.

If you’ve rented steps and skirting for the construction site office – both of which are strongly recommended – they’ll install those as well. However, you’ll need to supply an electrician and plumber to connect utilities. Both are less than an hour’s work for a professional if you have power and water supplies nearby.
