Temporary buildings for construction

Flexible buildings to support your project

Our temporary buildings are flexible and versatile and offer valuable extra space for a vast range of construction and infrastructure projects. Traditional modular buildings are often used for staff welfare, site offices and meeting rooms. However, a temporary building can provide a bespoke medium to long-term solution for large scale construction and infrastructure projects.

Get the space you need

Our buildings offer a robust, medium and long term space solution for contractors and businesses operating in the construction and infrastructure sector.  They are referred to as “temporary” because the are modular and de-mountable, giving you the flexibility to move, extend or return your building once your project is completed.  The key benefits include:

Rapid installation

Zero operational downtime during the disruption free installation.

Durable & robust

Exceptional quality standards, warranty and aftercare.

Flexible

Customise, rent, return, extend or relocate your structure with ease.

Why are contractors turning to temporary buildings?

large-scale projects require lots of storage space. Modular cabins, while perfect for canteens and welfare facilities don’t offer the robust and flexible space needed to store plant, machinery, building materials and expensive products. In addition, temporary building can be used for multiple applications and finishing trades to keep your build programme on track.  

Secondly, a temporary building can be installed on any ground surface. and give you the flexibility to purchase a structure or rent the building for as long as you need it. Even on contaminated land, we can provide a quick and cost effective solution. 

Finally,  once the project has completed, it can be easily relocated to other sites or another project.  They meet all relevant building regulations and are designed to comply with local wind and weather loadings, which we include as standard during the design process.

Increase your space. Fast.

Featured construction applications

The flexibility and functionality of temporary building solutions give you complete control of the specification options.  If you are in the early stages of planning your project and are mobilising your site set up we can work with you to develop a bespoke solution. Alternatively, if you are on site and need additional storage space quickly, we can provide a robust solution in a matter of days. 

Canopies and site shelters

If your project needs weatherproof, sheltered areas for assembly and small works, a canopy or industrial unit or is solid option. 

Canopies can be standalone and specified with one, two or three open sides. In addition we can provide a completely open canopy structure for complete accessibility. 

Our buildings are completely bespoke and we recently engineered a hybrid storage building with a canopy for a rail and infrastructure project to provide joint storage and covered working space on site.

Industrial processing

Our temporary industrial buildings support various processing operations, enhancing your capacity and operational efficiency.  

If you need to house a manufacturing line, assembly plant or create a clean and separate processing area an industrial building will be a great option.  

We can provide a building that is custom designed for any industrial processing operation or manufacturing application.  Typically, our industrial buildings are specified with high grade, robust steel cladding and can be installed on any ground surface with minimal groundwork to provide a fast, cost effective and efficient industrial solution.

 

Project compounds and welfare buildings

From transient project compounds to long term semi-permanent solutions a temporary building will be a great addition to your site compound.  In our experience, temporary buildings can seamlessly compliment traditional modular units with the added benefit of flexibility and customisation options.

Like a modular unit, a temporary building can be hired in for the duration of the contract.  If you are working on a long-term construction or infrastructure project spanning several years, there is also the option to purchase the building outright.  Once the project is finished, the building can be re-located to a different site or sold on the second hand market.

 

General storage and site warehousing

Construction and infrastructure projects require a huge amount of raw materials, products and plant. A secure storage building is essential to keep things safe, secure and dry.  Our buildings offer flexibility to store anything from insulation boards through to plant and machinery.  

You can customise your storage building with racking, and bespoke access doors to accommodate plant and machinery storage. As well as providing simple access and egress. Alternatively, the existing floor or slab can be used for bulk storage.  

 

 

Specification options and installation considerations

We can offer a wide range of specification options to suit the intended application. Significantly, our buildings include industrial storage tents, with robust PVC side, durable steel storage buildings (with an optional canopy) or fully insulated options for sensitive storage or welfare facilities.  

Additionally, we also offer a range of options which includes aspects such as lighting, heating, cooling, security systems and internal partitioning. Finally, a temporary building can be installed on any ground surface or challenging location with minimal groundwork. Even if you are working on contaminated ground we have a well engineered solution to install a building. We recently provided a temporary storage building on contaminated ground for a long-term industrial project.

Case study: Tier 1 contractor HS2 infrastructure project

We provided a bespoke 15m x 32m, temporary structure for a tier one construction contractor who required a medium-term storage facility.  The building featured a large, 5m integrated open sided canopy which doubled as a workstation for several trades.  The structure was finished with internal pallet racking for additional storage. The valuable storage space was used to store items needed throughout their build programme.

Considering the total cost and speed it takes to install, the high standards and quality will impress even any Site or Project Manager.  This solution gives you more flexibility and space than a standard modular unit.
