So, on average, how much will a mobile office cost me?
Good question! Other than delivery charges, (which we talked about earlier), and rent (which is highly subjective based on location, season and competition) the average additional costs involved with leasing a 720 square foot (12’x60’) mobile office are as follows:
-$200: Basic set-up, including blocking and leveling the mobile office site
-$200-$500: Anchor fees (anchors are required for extra security on some sites)
-$800: cost for a mobile office skirt
-$200: cost for an electrician and plumber to hook up electricity and plumbing
There is also a fee for the removal of your mobile office at the end of your lease. You will have to pay for everything from ground anchors to transportation once it is time to get rid of your mobile office. Inquire as to this cost and remember to incorporate it into your budget.
If you are interested in purchasing your mobile office, you can usually do so for anywhere between $15,000-$40,000. However, buying a mobile office for long-term use may be less cost effective than buying a modular building for your office needs.
Lastly, read the fine print on the mobile office lease or purchase contract before you sign anything. You could be signing yourself up for hidden fees and costs. Make sure you note all fees you will be liable for, including delivery and removal fees as well as the cleaning and repair charges.
You also may want to ask about lease extensions, as policies vary widely from vendor to vendor. While some charge hefty premiums on lease extension, others write automatic renewal clauses into their contracts, which can be an undesirable surprise if overlooked.
