Combo / Split Office Lunchroom

It’s a dual-purpose portable cabin that contains both an office and a lunchroom in one unit. Essentially, the interior is divided either by a wall or door into two sections and one fitted out as an office space for administrative work or meetings, and the other as a lunchroom where staff can take breaks, eat, and relax. This combination is popular on construction and industrial sites, as it keeps the site manager’s office and the workers’ canteen together under one roof, maximising space and convenience.

The primary benefit is efficiency of space and cost. Instead of needing two separate portable buildings, a combo unit does both jobs. This reduces the required site area and often lowers rental or purchase costs. Additionally, having the office adjacent to the lunchroom can improve supervision and communication on small sites. The management is literally next door to where the crew gathers, which can be handy for announcements or meetings during breaks.

Yes, typically combo units have a partition wall dividing the two areas. For example, in a 6m x 2.9m combo cabin, roughly half might be configured as an office (with a desk, chair, power points, window, etc.) and the other half as a lunchroom (open space for a table, bench seating or chairs, possibly cabinetry or a countertop for appliances). Our standard combo has two exterior doors, one opens into the office side, and one into the lunchroom side. We can also discuss custom layouts if you have a specific need.

It includes the basics needed for a break area, lighting, electrical outlets for appliances, and flooring that’s easy to clean. We can outfit the lunchroom with a simple kitchenette on request (like a bench with a sink or space for a microwave, kettle, and fridge). Many clients furnish the lunch area with their own portable table, chairs, and appliances as needed. The unit’s electrical system can support common kitchen appliances (jug/kettle, microwave, fridge) so your team can make tea or heat meals. If you require built-in fixtures (like a sink with running water or cupboards), let us know and we can look at customising the unit.

Absolutely. Our combo office-lunchroom units are available for hire or purchase. For short-term needs, renting is a popular option. We will deliver the unit to your site, then pick it up when you’re finished. We offer flexible hire terms, whether you need it for a few weeks or over a year. If your needs are long-term or recurring, you might consider buying the unit outright.
