Portacabin Sizes & Specifications Guide
Choosing the right size depends on intended use, occupancy, and available site footprint. As a general reference:
| Size (approx.) | Floor Area | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 10 x 8 ft | ~7 m² | Security booth, guard room |
| 16 x 8 ft | ~12 m² | Single-person office, small store |
| 20 x 8 ft | ~15 m² | Standard site office, reception |
| 24 x 10 ft | ~22 m² | Office with meeting area, accommodation unit |
| 32 x 10 ft | ~29 m² | Manager’s office, clinic room |
| 40 x 10 ft | ~37 m² | Conference room, canteen, large open office |
For projects needing more floor area than a single unit provides, double-story stacked configurations and linked multi-unit setups are both available, letting you scale capacity without a custom manufacturing run. Our team can advise on the right configuration once we understand your space and occupancy requirements.
How Much Does a Portacabin Cost in UAE?
Portacabin pricing in UAE depends on condition, size, and specification, and understanding the main cost drivers helps you get an accurate quote faster.
New Portacabin Pricing Factors
New unit pricing is driven primarily by size, the level of customization requested (electrical fit-out, insulation grade, interior finish), and manufacturing lead time. A fully custom-specified unit costs more than a standard configuration built to an existing template.
Used & Refurbished Portacabin Pricing Factors
Used and refurbished pricing is driven by condition, age, and the extent of any restoration work carried out before resale. A refurbished unit typically costs more than an equivalent used unit, reflecting the inspection and repair work already completed on it
What affects the final price:
- Unit size and floor area
- Condition (new, used, or refurbished)
- Customization (electrical, plumbing, interior finish, partitions)
- Delivery distance from our depot to your site
- Installation complexity (single unit vs. multi-unit or double-story configuration)
Buy a Portacabin: How It Works
Buying through Rental Power follows a clear process from first enquiry to delivery.
- Tell Us Your Requirement. We start by understanding your intended use, timeline, and budget, whether you’re after a single security cabin or a multi-unit accommodation setup.
- Browse Available Stock. We show you what’s available across new, used, and refurbished categories that match your requirement, so you can compare condition and price directly.
- Site Assessment. Where needed, our team checks your site’s access, ground conditions, and power supply to confirm the right unit and installation approach before anything is finalised.
- Quote & Agreement. You receive a transparent quote covering unit cost, delivery, and any installation work, with clear terms before you commit.
- Delivery & Installation. Our team delivers and installs the unit, checking it’s positioned and connected correctly before handover.
- After-Sale Support. If anything needs attention after delivery, whether it’s a servicing question or a customization request, our team remains available to help.
Sell Your Portacabin: How It Works
If you have a portacabin you no longer need, whether a project has wrapped up or you’re upgrading to a different unit, selling through Rental Power is a straightforward process built around a fair valuation and a fast turnaround.
- Send Us Your Cabin Details. Share the size, approximate age, and condition of your unit, along with a few photos. This gives us enough to provide an initial assessment before any site visit is arranged.
- Get a Free Valuation. Our team reviews the details you’ve provided, and arranges a site inspection where needed, to assess the unit’s structural condition, electrical and plumbing state, and overall usability.
- Receive a Fair Offer. We provide a clear offer based on that assessment, explaining the reasoning behind the number rather than issuing a flat take-it-or-leave-it figure.
- Agree a Collection Date. Once you accept the offer, we schedule collection around your site’s timeline, so removal doesn’t disrupt an ongoing project.
- Get Paid. Payment, whether by cash or bank transfer, is completed before the unit is removed from your site.
Trading in? If you’re selling an older unit while buying a new or refurbished one, we can apply the value of your existing cabin as trade-in credit against the new purchase, so you’re managing one transaction instead of two.

FAQ's
Valuation depends on size, age, structural condition, and whether the unit has any prior refurbishment work. Sharing photos and details with our team gives you an initial estimate before a full site assessment confirms the final offer.
A used portacabin is sold in the condition the previous owner left it, with no restoration work carried out. A refurbished portacabin has been inspected and repaired, covering structural issues, wiring, and interior condition, which typically means a higher price but a condition closer to new.
Once you share your unit's details, we can usually provide an initial valuation quickly, with a site assessment and final offer following shortly after. Collection is then scheduled around your timeline.
We assess units across a range of conditions, though the offer reflects what we find. Units with significant structural damage may receive a lower valuation or, in some cases, may not be suitable for purchase, which we'll explain clearly during the assessment.
Yes. If you're replacing an existing unit, we can apply its assessed value as credit against a new or refurbished purchase, reducing what you pay out of pocket.
Used and refurbished units from existing stock are generally the fastest to deliver, since no manufacturing is required. New, fully customized units take longer, as production has to be completed before dispatch. Our team can confirm a specific timeline once your requirement is defined.
Yes. Delivery includes professional installation, and units, whether new, used, or refurbished, can be customized with additional plumbing, electrical work, partitions, or finishes to suit your specific requirement.
Having proof of ownership and any maintenance or refurbishment records available speeds up the valuation process, though we can still assess a unit and provide an offer without complete documentation in most cases.
