A guard house is the smallest building on a project and the first one every visitor sees. Our site guard house and gatehouse cabin is a complete, factory-finished security position that lifts into place in one piece — no on-site assembly, no site-built hut.
What is a prefab guard house?
Definition: A compact, fully assembled security cabin with panoramic glazing, built-in worktop and pre-wired electrical fittings, placed at a site entrance or access control point. Also known as: gatehouse cabin, security booth, guard cabin, access control booth.
Product overview
The structure is a curved steel shell, which gives the guard an unobstructed 270-degree view of the gate, the approach road and the loading area — something a rectangular site hut cannot provide. The glazed section includes a sliding opening panel for handing over documents and passes without leaving the cabin.
Inside, a built-in worktop provides space for a log book, access cards, a monitor and a control panel. The floor includes a raised void so that barrier and camera cabling can be routed under the cabin rather than across the entrance.
Equipment provision
| Provision | Detail |
|---|---|
| Access barrier | Cable route and controller mounting position |
| Card reader / intercom | Conduit and mounting point at the window line |
| CCTV | Bracket mountings for cameras and interior monitor |
| Air conditioning | Wall-mounted unit position with drainage route |
| Power | Pre-wired 220V/110V distribution board |
| Lighting | Interior LED and exterior task light |
Finishes and sizes
Standard units run from 1500 x 2000 mm to 2000 x 3000 mm, all 2800 mm high, with custom sizes available. External finish can be matched to the rest of the camp or the client’s corporate colours — a common requirement on residential and industrial park gates where the cabin is a visible part of the entrance.
Applications
Site entrances, residential gates, industrial parks, toll booths, access control points and car parks.
Complete the camp
Guard houses are normally ordered alongside our K-type dormitories and ablution containers, all from the same camp and utility range. Colours and finishes match across the camp and everything ships in one consignment. Send us your gate layout and the equipment you plan to install and we will confirm the cabin size and mounting positions.
Four Key Advantages
Fast Assembly
Pre-fabricated and modular design allows rapid on-site deployment: the shell assembles in 2-4 hours, and most units are fully deployed within 24-48 hours, minimizing labor costs and project timelines.
Cost-Effective Shipping
Optimized flat-pack design drastically reduces shipping volume. Multiple units can be loaded into a single container, saving up to 75% on international freight costs.
Built to Last
Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel frame with premium insulation. Engineered to withstand extreme weather, from scorching deserts to freezing mountains.
Stackable Design
Up to 3 stories with structural integrity. Modular connection system enables flexible expansion as your needs grow over time.

Specifications and options

From the factory gate to your site
| Step | What it adds | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| EXW (ex-works) | Goods at the factory gate, nothing else | FOB − US$62.5/unit at 16 units per 40HQ |
| FOB | Inland haulage to port and export clearance | The published FOB range above |
| CIF | Ocean freight and insurance to your port | FOB + US$181–544/unit (eight lanes, see the landed cost index) |
| Duty and VAT | Assessed on CIF value by the HS code your agent files | Not included — paid at destination |
| Installation | Foundation, lifting, assembly, utility hook-up | Our crew for Jakarta stock; quoted elsewhere |
The only steps that move with your project are freight and installation. Everything before them is fixed by the unit you choose — which is why we separate them here instead of quoting a single delivered number.
What the price includes, and who does what
FOB covers the building at the port of loading. Everything after it is arranged by someone — the table below states who, so a quotation can be compared line by line.
| Model | Size (mm) | FOB price (USD) | MOQ | 40HQ loading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Site Guard House & Gatehouse | 1500-2000 x 2000-3000 x 2800 mm (customisable) | On request | 1 set | Per model — ask |
EXW is US$1,000 per 40HQ lower than FOB (the factory-to-port leg): about US$62.5 per unit at 16 units per 40HQ.
Who arranges what
| Layer | What it covers | Who arranges it |
|---|---|---|
| Production and loading | Build, trial assembly, container loading plan | EasiHive |
| Ocean freight and insurance | Port of loading to destination port, typically 25–40 days | EasiHive (quoted as CIF) or your forwarder |
| Import duty and VAT | Assessed on CIF value by the HS code declared at import | Your importer of record |
| Port handling and clearance | Terminal charges, agent fees, demurrage risk | Your clearing agent |
| Inland haulage and offloading | Port to site, crane or forklift at destination | Your contractor, or arranged on request |
| On-site assembly | Unpacking, assembly, utility hook-up | EasiHive crew for stocked units from Jakarta; remote guidance elsewhere |
Duty percentages are not published: the rate depends on the HS code your agent files and the value assessed at the port. We ship under a stated HS code and provide a commercial invoice that matches the packing list.
