Portable cabins and containers are well known amongst the masses, but bunkhouses are relatively new.
| SCOPE | CONTAINERS | PORTA CABINS | RISHIT BUNK HOUSES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ease of inhabiting | Originally designed as vessels to shift goods in ships and in no sense habitable for humans. | The process of creating a porta cabin is quite tedious and utilizes equal resources required to construct a permanent building. | - Designed for humans ( Human centric approach to industrial spaces) - No resources required at site, just lift and shift - SKID Mounted units - Height adjustable bunkhouses |
| Product value | - Once utilized for human requirements, the containers loses core product value and start showing rust, and need high maintenance. - Body cannot be repaired in case of accident - Water accumulates in troughs of roof due to corrugation, resulting in rust - Roof leaking is a common issue. |
- The entire porta cabin has to be dismantled after manufacturing, and then assembled onsite. - Once built and utilised, to shift to another location, another Porta cabin has to be dismantled - Does not fit to its original size and dimensions when refitting, loses its original build quality. - Often water leakages are shown - Cost of refitting a porta cabin is nearly (Minimum) half the cost of new Porta cabin |
- From hospital to kitchen, and everything in between, Rishit Bunkhouses are multi-faceted. - Minimum Life span of 25 years - Can be lifted with minimal resources - No refitting is required. |
| Construction process | A civil base plinth, foundation, wooden plank or cement cubes is required. | Civil based construction/ foundation/ plinth has to be constructed to create the base for the porta cabin. | No Civil base construction, no foundation, wooden plank, cement cubes required. All units are skid mounted units having height adjustable jacks with parking rest pads |
| Availability of product | No new containers are available, only second hand containers are available in open market. | - The user feedback and satisfaction is significantly lower, when compared to bunkhouses. - Porta cabins are use and throw, not sustainable. - No second hand buyers/ market. |
- Available in desired requirements, customized according to the clients. - Only fixed transportable sizes are available, interiors requirement can be customized as per lift and shift norms. - We provide a buy back service for all our bunkhouses. |
| Risk of purchasing | The risk of receiving fake or unregistered sea sailing shipping containers is very high, which can lead to international offence charges as these containers are shipped all across the world. | No risk, but exposed wiring is one of the biggest hazards in all porta cabins. Their comparatively light structures are not safe during storms, heavy rains, etc. | No risk at all |
| Interior space and mobility | After the insulation process is completed, there is limited space inside the container and it can be shifted anywhere | Portacabins are location specific, and can be shifted from one place to another, only after dismantling the whole structure, removing all furnitures, electrical wiring, connections, fittings and outer shell. | - These bunkhouses can be transported easily, even to remote locations. - Has more space than a container - Premium interiors, Superior space management engineering |
| Size | Fixed Sizes (20’x 8’x 8’H & 40’x 8’x 8’H or max 9’H ) | Flexible sizes, but specific to the location. | Fixed Sizes (4’x4’ to 40x12, max width: 12’) |
