We have worked with a lot of clients that we have fabricated countless offices and workshops and bespoke electrical conversions of clients so we know what we are doing with fitting electrics in our shipping containers. 

With Flat-pack shipping containers they come with built in wiring that as you are constructing the shipping container and slide the panels into place all you need to do is to attach the wires together and attach to a power supply like a generator and have power throughout the Flat-pack shipping container.
