Bab Al Qasar Prefab converts shipping containers into offices, stores, shops and site facilities for clients across Abu Dhabi. Each container is cut, framed, insulated and fitted out in our Sharjah factory, then delivered and crane-placed on your site in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi's large infrastructure, energy and industrial projects drive steady demand for site offices, labour accommodation and welfare facilities. That demand runs from the industrial hubs of Mussafah and KEZAD to remote sites in Al Dhafra. New communities, schools and tourism projects on Yas and Saadiyat add to it. Our modified steel containers are built for exactly these needs, with layouts, finishes and fit-out agreed with you before fabrication starts.
