Who We Serve
We work with a wide range of clients, including:
Construction & Infrastructure Developers
Construction firms often need fast, scalable, and durable infrastructure to support on-site teams. Our container-based solutions provide offices, staff accommodation, storage, and meeting facilities that can be deployed on short timelines. With growing demand for rapid project mobilization in Sri Lanka, Convertainers serves as a trusted partner to large-scale infrastructure developers, ensuring every build aligns with industry and safety standards.
Tourism and Hospitality Operators
Sri Lanka’s hospitality sector is booming, and travellers are increasingly drawn to unique, sustainable lodging experiences. We support tourism clients by offering aesthetically designed container villas, glamping units, and beachfront cabins that are affordable, customisable, and quick to deploy. Our modular builds help clients achieve a balance between style, sustainability, and operational efficiency, particularly in high-demand seasonal markets.
Government and NGOs
Government agencies and non-profits often require emergency shelters, community facilities, classrooms, or temporary offices. Our container solutions offer rapid deployment and long-term usability, ideal for disaster relief, outreach programs, or mobile clinics. We’re proud to contribute to socially responsible projects that benefit communities across Sri Lanka — delivering safe, functional, and adaptable spaces when they’re needed most.
Retail Entrepreneurs
Small businesses and retail brands benefit from our flexible, modular units that eliminate the high overhead of traditional shopfronts. From branded food trucks and market kiosks to container cafés and exhibition stands, our structures allow retailers to enter the market quickly and stand out visually. We provide cost-effective solutions that reflect your brand, attract foot traffic, and scale with your business.
Individual Property Owners and Investors
Innovative homebuyers and real estate investors are increasingly turning to container homes as a flexible and sustainable solution. Whether it’s a primary residence, a rental unit, or a holiday getaway, Convertainers makes container living accessible and stylish.
