1. Production Offices

Film production trailers are essential to any setup since you’ll need to house the administrative team that keeps the project going. You’ll need offices that can house all the different departments from the art and creative or lighting teams all the way to the director, production team, and tech scouts.

Ideally, your temporary office setup will have everything those teams need to work comfortably, from working areas to private conference spaces for collaboration. We offer a variety of options including:

Mobile offices
Skidded offices
Container offices
Office complexes
Smart spaces (can be stacked w/ building block design)

2. Prop or Wardrobe Trailers

It’s extremely important to make sure that your costumes and props remain safe and undamaged. After all, they’re also a key part of the investments you’ve made in filming.

Whether your set is in an urban area like Vancouver and you need to safeguard from theft, or you’re filming out in nature and need to keep items safe from the elements, we can help. Our storage containers come in an array of sizes and are easy to transport and install where you need them.

3. On-Site Restrooms

On-site restrooms will be a welcome addition for your project teams, especially if you’re working in a remote area. They are more comfortable than portable toilets, which is a nice plus depending on how long you’ll be staying on location.

Our on-site restrooms include above-ground water and waste tanks to make installation a breeze. We also can offer turnkey washroom solutions including stairs, ramps, or landings, so that once it’s on the location, your restroom is ready to use (and that’s one less detail your team has to worry about coordinating).

4. Rest and Kitchenette Areas

With our add-on furniture packages, you’ll also have the option to furnish your spaces. You can customize your selection, but to give you an idea, our standard office package includes:

Table with seating
Microwave
Coffee maker
Water cooler
Fridge (size based on the space)
Garbage can
Handwashing station

Having your space furnished and ready makes it easy for you to provide your team with a dedicated area where they can rest and recharge. And during the grueling hours of production, that’s a must!

5. Custom Dressing Rooms and Makeup Trailers

Not seeing a structure yet that fits your vision? Perhaps it’s time to consider configuring it from scratch.

With their unique scalability, our stackable SmartSpace units allow you to make the most of areas with little available space. They work similarly to building blocks, and can be set up in a variety of combinations.

If all else fails, our team can always help build you a custom solution that meets your film set needs from the ground up!

1. Our modular structures are built to code and meet all safety standards.

It’s important to ensure your setup is compliant with all the most recent Canadian National Model Codes. And if your group is coming from outside of Canada to film in British Columbia, knowing exactly what those are can require a lot of extra research.

Fortunately, if you get your movie set structures from BOXX Modular, you don’t have to worry. All our modular solutions are built in adherence to all current safety standards and codes, so you can have peace of mind and save your team some time.

2. Our modular structures can be delivered and deployed quickly.

Time is money when you’re filming, and that’s why it simply won’t do to have your schedule held back because you can’t get the right setup in place quickly.

At BOXX Modular, we offer plenty of options. Our team can provide rents, leases, sells, or custom options. While the timeline may vary slightly for renting a structure vs. designing your own — our overall capabilities are a lot faster than traditional construction.

If you opt for a new structure, our fabrication and site prep takes place at the same time, shortening the installation schedule. Plus, our buildings are built in a factory setting, so you can avoid weather delays outside your control.

3. Our modular structures can help you meet your sustainability goals.

Filmmaking often comes along with some high environmental costs, and more teams are starting to look for ways to help reduce that waste. Especially if you serve stakeholders that demand better sustainability practices — it’s important to consider this in your project decisions.

Using modular buildings on set is a great way to reduce some of that footprint and move the needle on your sustainability goals. BOXX Modular's solutions:
