Modular Buildings

The use of modular buildings is growing in many parts of the world including in the UK. There are several different types available, but typically, when you see the term used it refers to temporary buildings.

Temporary Modular Buildings

These buildings are light enough to be transported anywhere on the back of a lorry. However, they are robust enough to be put up anywhere and used in virtually any climate. They are certainly sufficiently insulated to withstand the weather found in the UK. In other parts of the world, more insulation may be needed, but there are modular building available that can be used even in extreme climates.

They are designed to be used as either a single unit or to be slotted together to form larger buildings with a selection of rooms. The best firms offer modular buildings that can be put together several storeys high. This means that even where space is tight it is possible to provide buildings to house administrative staff and for other uses.

These buildings can be used in a variety of ways. Traditionally they were used for building sites as offices. On site, they provided somewhere to hold meetings, changing facilities, storage for tools or somewhere for the builders to eat lunch.

Today, schools and hospitals use them as classrooms or basic clinic rooms. Rather than move to bigger premises many companies have these buildings set up on their existing site as offices. They also make great hospitality and marketing suites, and can even be turned into retail outlets.

Many sports clubs use them as clubhouses or changing facilities. They are even used by the prison service. Not necessarily to house prisoners, but to provide training facilities, gyms and clinics that there would normally not be enough space for.

Finding Modular Buildings

Several firms in the UK offer modular buildings. However, the best range is to be found from those firms who make them as well as sell them. They offer a better choice of buildings and can sometimes customise a building to meet the specific needs of a client. These firms rent out their modular buildings as well as sell them.
