Construction trailer
Construction trailers are mobile structures used to accommodate temporary offices, dining facilities and storage of building materials during construction projects.
Hook-ups
Typically, trailers need to be equipped with telephone lines and electrical power. Lavatories are usually provided for separately. They are often skid-mounted, on trailers, or put on piles. Construction trailers are often manufactured using traditional stick-frame construction. Shipping containers are also being converted into construction trailers.
Permits
Municipalities can require the use of construction trailers to be subject to permit proceedings. The City of Fremont, California, for example, publishes its permit requirements on its municipal website.
Transport
Construction trailers are ordinarily moved by heavy trucks but may also be moved by rail.
