Need advice

Hi folks, To give a bit of backstory, my company’s warehouse had a modular office outside where the admin team would do all their paperwork. Recently, this got attacked by vandals, causing a lot of damage and distress. The police are looking into it but as yet are not any closer to catching the hooligans who did it. Anyway, I'm now looking into more robust modular office options. Do any of you know of good manufacturers of modular offices? I've come across Konstructa in my research but would like to know if they're good or not, if you have experience with them? Any feedback, positive or negative, is welcome. And any sympathy haha! Cheers, Terry

    Best defense is lights, cameras (real time web feed to off site recording) silent alarm and a full mag. But I guess where you're at that's not an option? I like the converted shipping containers myself, slows them down trying to cut through or defeat locks.

    That's what we use. MobileMini makes great offices. We have 4- 8x10 mobile storage conex's and 2- 8x20 office/storage combo units. The steel entry doors have bolts that go into all 4 sides of the jamb like a safe and all the windows have bars on them. Haven't had a theft since we bought them. (Knock on wood)

    Lantraxo - Lights and cameras are an option that we'll definitely look into. As I'm in the UK guns are not an option however! *** Deeretracks - That sounds interesting, will look into MobileMini. Cheers guys.

    We have rented many MobileMini's as field offices over the years. They have a nice package and can be set up with all the electronic gizmos you want, both security and business orientated. Another neat feature about them is that we can crane them up to tops of parking ramps or right onto new building floors when ground space is at a premium. Sure helps having the field office close to the action.

    Is that an inside joke Nige?

    Sort of. There is a town called Bradford in West Yorkshire which has seen major immigration from the Indian sub-continent since the 60's. So much so that in the recent past even the locals refer to it as Bradistan ......... http://www.granta.com/New-Writing/Bradistan
