Are you a contractor, industrial operator, or business looking for custom modular spaces? MODS, based in Rotterdam, New York, is a leading shipping container fabrication shop specializing in turning standard steel shipping containers into fully customized offices, retail spaces, workshops, and more. Our team provides end-to-end solutions – from initial design and cutting/welding to final finishing and delivery – offering a faster, more flexible alternative to traditional construction.
From Design to Delivery: A Complete In-House Process
At MODS, we handle the entire process of creating your modular container space in-house, ensuring quality control and cost-efficiency at every step. It starts with a free quote and consultation – simply give us a call or fill out our contact form, and our team will discuss your vision and provide a detailed estimate within a few days. Once you decide to move forward, our expert design team gets to work without the need for any outside architects or middle-men. By doing all design work internally, we save you time and money, and we can produce detailed 3D renderings or videos for complex projects to make sure every detail meets your specifications.
After finalizing the design, your project moves to fabrication. Most of the build-out happens right in our Rotterdam, NY shop, where we perform all the cutting of openings, steel reinforcement welding, framing of interiors, and high-quality finishing work.
Our skilled craftsmen transform empty shipping containers into polished, functional spaces ready for use. In many cases, we’re able to fully outfit and assemble your unit at our facility, so it ships to you virtually ready-to-use. For more complex multi-unit setups, we prepare all components for easy assembly on-site. Finally, MODS will deliver your completed container unit anywhere in the continental United States, making sure it arrives safely and on schedule.
Modular Units for Every Application
One of the biggest strengths of MODS is versatility. We create custom container-based units for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Here are just a few of the custom modular units we build for clients:
Modular Office Spaces & Co-Working Hubs: Turnkey office containers ideal for job sites or expansion space. These units can include insulated interiors with meeting rooms, workstations, and HVAC systems for year-round comfort.
Pop-Up Retail Shops: Eye-catching pop-up stores or boutiques built from shipping containers. Perfect for mobile retail, seasonal shops, or brand activations, these units are relocatable and can be customized with display shelves, service counters, and branded exteriors.
Container Restaurants & Food Stalls: We convert containers into fully equipped food service units – from coffee shops and smoothie bars to food trucks or small container restaurants. Each unit can be outfitted with commercial kitchen appliances, prep counters, serving windows, and even small seating areas.
Showrooms & Marketing Booths: Portable exhibition spaces and trade show booths designed with custom lighting, display fixtures, and tech installations to showcase your products.
Secure Storage Containers: Rugged container storage units designed for equipment, tools, or inventory, with options for shelving, racks, and even climate control.
Construction Site Offices & Break Rooms: Mobile offices and break rooms for job sites, complete with workstations, rest areas, and climate control systems.
Workshops & Fabrication Units: Portable workshop containers outfitted with workbenches, heavy-duty flooring, ventilation, and storage systems – perfect for on-site fabrication or repairs.
Specialized Industrial Fit-Outs: From hazardous material storage with spill containment floors to generator and power units with ventilation and soundproofing, MODS can engineer custom industrial solutions.
Benefits of Container Construction vs. Traditional Builds
Working with a shipping container fabrication shop comes with significant advantages over traditional brick-and-mortar construction:
Faster Turnaround: Modular container projects can be completed in weeks instead of months.
Cost Savings: Containers and prefab processes reduce material and labor costs.
Durability & Security: Heavy-duty steel construction ensures weather resistance, strength, and security.
Unlimited Customization: Interiors can be fully customized with partitions, fixtures, branding, HVAC, plumbing, and more.
Mobility & Flexibility: Container units can be transported and relocated as your needs change, giving your business unmatched flexibility.
Tailored Features and Quality Craftsmanship
Every MODS project is built to client specifications. We integrate features such as electrical wiring, lighting, plumbing, HVAC systems, workbenches, shelving, or safety features like fire suppression systems.
For businesses requiring branded or customer-facing spaces, we offer professional finishes, exterior wraps, and signage. Each container is treated as a blank canvas, transformed into a fully functional, secure, and attractive space.
All fabrication is done in-house by experienced craftsmen, ensuring high standards and long-term reliability. Whether your unit is designed for an industrial job site or a retail environment, MODS builds with precision, durability, and safety in mind.
