Custom Fitouts for Onsite Vans, Work Caravans & Site Caravans
Not every project is the same - and not every facility should be either. Hardwear delivers custom fitouts for work caravans, site caravans and onsite vans, tailored to the realities of Australian worksites. Built tough, compliant and Australian-made, our vans are engineered to perform where it counts.
Not every project is the same and not every facility should be either. At Hardwear, we design custom fitouts for work caravans, site caravans and onsite vans that perform in the toughest Australian conditions. Whether you need a mobile site office, accommodation unit, medical facility or command centre, our vans are built for compliance, comfort and durability.
Why Custom Fitouts Matter
Generic site caravans can’t always keep up with the demands of real projects. A custom fitout ensures your facility is designed to support productivity and safety - from dual-entry access for high-traffic sites to server cooling for tech-heavy projects, or additional storage and drafting benches for civil works. Hardwear solutions are built for the way industries actually work.
Built for Compliance and Reliability
Every Hardwear caravan starts with a proven foundation: Australian-made, ADR-certified, and compliant with AS3000 and AS5033 standards. Our custom fitouts integrate industry-trusted components from AL-KO, Armstrong Flooring, Narva and Askin Performance Panels - chosen for their durability in mining, construction and renewable environments. That means your van isn’t just compliant - it’s battle-tested and built to last.
Custom Solutions Across Industries
Hardwear fitouts support the industries that keep Australia running:
Construction & Civil - site offices, crib huts and ablution blocks tailored to daily site use.
Mining & Resources - medical units and accommodation vans designed for remote deployment.
Infrastructure & Transport - mobile command centres and project coordination hubs.
Renewables & Energy - off-grid facilities adapted for solar, wind and hydro installations.
Wherever your project is based - inner-city or remote outback, our caravans are designed to perform.
The Hardwear Difference
With in-house design and manufacturing in Pakenham, Victoria, we deliver custom fitouts without long delays. Our experience means we know what works, and just as importantly, what doesn’t. Each van is engineered to meet compliance, built for rugged conditions, and tailored to your project requirements.
Final Word
When you search for work caravans, site caravans or onsite vans, Hardwear offers more than standard models. Our custom fitouts provide facilities that are safe, reliable and designed for the realities of Australian projects.

Work Caravans vs Site Caravans: What’s the Difference?
Work Caravans vs Site Caravans: What’s the Difference?
Across Australia, the terms work caravans, site caravans and mobile site offices often get used interchangeably. But whatever you call them, the purpose is the same: to provide durable, compliant and reliable onsite facilities that keep projects moving.

At Hardwear, we specialise in building caravans that perform in the realities of Australian worksites - from inner-city construction projects to remote mining camps and renewable energy installations.
Why Work Caravans Matter
Work caravans are more than just temporary shelters. They’re the operational hubs where crews plan, rest, meet and manage day-to-day activities. Hardwear caravans are designed with compliance and comfort in mind - insulated and equipped with the essentials needed for long shifts on site.
Site Caravans Built for Compliance
Every Hardwear caravan is engineered to meet or exceed Australian Design Rules and electrical compliance standards. That means peace of mind for project managers and safety for crews. From flooring to lighting, every component is selected for durability and reliability.
Caravans for Every Industry
Hardwear caravans support:
• Construction and Civil - site offices, crib huts and ablution blocks.
• Mining and Resources - accommodation units and medical facilities for remote projects.
• Infrastructure and Transport - command centres and project coordination hubs.
• Renewables and Energy - tailored facilities for solar, wind and hydro sites.
Final Word
Whether you search for work caravans or site caravans, Hardwear delivers facilities that are more than compliant - they’re built to perform. Wherever your project is based, our caravans provide safe, comfortable and productive spaces that keep crews moving.

Why Custom Fitouts Matter in Remote Worksite
When you're managing a remote or high-demand worksite, "off the shelf" rarely cuts it. Conditions are tough. Requirements are specific. And the people relying on your infrastructure — from engineers to emergency crews — need a workspace that performs without compromise.
That’s where custom fitouts come in.
When you're managing a remote or high-demand worksite, "off the shelf" rarely cuts it. Conditions are tough. Requirements are specific. And the people relying on your infrastructure, from engineers to emergency crews - need a workspace that performs without compromise.
That’s where custom fitouts come in.
At Hardwear, we build every unit to do more than just tick a box. We collaborate with clients to tailor mobile offices, medical units, accommodation and command centres to the exact needs of the job. Because in remote, rugged, or high-risk environments, details matter.
Need a dual-entry setup for safety? Done. Require a full-size drafting bench, extra cooling or anti-slip commercial flooring? We’ve done it all. Our approach is design-led, engineer-approved, and driven by experience across mining, construction, renewables and emergency response sectors.
The advantage isn’t just comfort - it’s compliance. Every Hardwear build meets or exceeds ADR regulations and is certified to AS3000 and AS5033 for electrical and solar. Our materials and partners including AL-KO, Narva, Armstrong Flooring and Askin Performance Panels, are trusted by industry leaders and chosen for their resilience in real-world conditions.
We know what works in high UV, red dust, freezing nights and 40-degree days. And we build accordingly.
When you go custom, you're not just buying a box on wheels. You’re investing in a mobile workspace that saves time, reduces risk and supports the team doing the hard yards on the ground.
If you've got a spec - we'll build to it. And if you don't, we’ll help shape it.

7 Essentials of a Work-Ready Mobile Site Office
Your mobile site office is more than just four walls - it’s the nerve centre of every project, from civil works on the city fringe to remote mining operations in the outback. At Hardwear, we build site offices designed for Australia’s toughest conditions: insulated, compliant, fast to deploy, and built for real productivity. In this article, we break down the seven essentials every mobile office needs to perform from day one.
When you're managing a worksite - whether it's a civil project on the fringe of suburbia or a remote mining job in the middle of nowhere, your mobile site office is your nerve centre. It’s where plans are made, calls are taken and decisions are executed. So why settle for anything less than a setup that performs?
At Hardwear, we understand the realities of the Australian worksite. From the red dust of the Pilbara to the concrete corridors of urban infrastructure projects, our mobile offices are designed to go the distance. But what exactly makes a site office work-ready?
1. INSULATION & CLIMATE CONTROL
Australia doesn’t do mild. Whether it’s 40°C heat or frigid winter mornings, your team needs a space they can rely on. Look for offices with insulated walls and ceilings, plus reverse-cycle air conditioning to keep things comfortable all year round.
2. SPACE THAT WORKS AS HARD AS YOU DO
A mobile office shouldn’t feel like a tin can. Consider units with desks, integrated storage, ample lighting and ergonomic layouts. Hardwear vans are designed with productivity in mind - layouts that support project leads, planners and supervisors without crowding or clutter.
3. BUILT FOR THE FILES - NOT THE SHOWROOM
We build for reality. That means tough exteriors, anti-slip flooring, dust-proof seals and industrial-grade power and lighting systems. No gimmicks. Just gear that lasts.
4. COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION
Your mobile office needs to meet safety and electrical standards. Every Hardwear van is engineered to meet or exceed Australian Design Rules (ADR Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018), and complies with AS3000 and AS5033 standards for electrical and solar installations.
5. SPEED OF SETUP
Time is money. A good mobile site office should arrive ready to work - with no need for modification or setup delays. Ours are plug-and-play, tested before delivery and built to get your team running within minutes of arrival.
6. ADAPTABILITY
One size doesn’t fit all. Whether you need a single office or a suite of connected units, at Hardwear we offer modular options, transport flexibility and optional add-ons.
7. REAL SUPPORT FROM REAL PEOPLE
Finally, you want to know the people building your van know what they’re doing - and that they’ll be there if something goes wrong. At Hardwear, we partner with hire companies, project managers and procurement leads across Australia to deliver what’s needed, when it’s needed - no fluff, no delays and guaranteed personal service.
IN SUMMARY
A mobile site office isn’t just a box with a desk. It’s your base of operations and it needs to be tough, comfortable, compliant and ready from day one. Whether you’re looking for a one-off build or a fleet solution, Hardwear builds mobile site offices that keep projects moving.

When we say our vans are built tough, we mean it. Every Hardwear unit is made to endure the heat, the dust, and the long days of Australian worksites - and it starts with what goes inside.
Our vans are engineered from the chassis up. We use AL-KO components exclusively - chosen for their strength, precision and Australian compliance. From there, each build is framed with industrial-grade materials and lined with Askin Performance Panels, designed to withstand heat, impact, and constant use.

The wiring and electrics? All compliant to AS3000 and AS5033 standards, installed by qualified technicians and ready for solar integration or 24/7 generator setups. Lighting and hardware are sourced from trusted partners like Narva and Armstrong, selected for durability and easy maintenance on remote jobs.
Insulation is standard, not optional - making our units usable in freezing mornings or blistering afternoons. And every layout is optimised for real-world use: desks where you actually need them, storage that fits the tools, and climate control systems that work.
Every van is tested — not just for compliance, but for usability. Because a mobile site office or medical van isn’t just equipment. It’s your team’s base.
We build it like we’d use it. Because at Hardwear, it’s never just a van — it’s a worksite solution, built for the elements and backed by industry trust.
