A modular building is a building with repeated sections of steel framed modules or bays which can form larger open plan/partitioned areas than portable cabins. The bays are built away from the site, they are then delivered to their intended site, where they are installed. Usually, a Hiab lorry or crane will put the bays into position, then our team will come and make the finishing touches so your building is ready to use.
Whether you need planning permission will depend on many factors. The size of the building, how often you intend to move the building and where it is located for example. It is always best to speak to your local authorities planning department, as they will advise you best on this.
Building off site means less disruption to your business or home. By building offsite the build process is similar each time, this means that the team aren’t adjusting to new surroundings on each build. Building off site helps to create efficient processes it also requires less heavy machinery to be transported between jobs, thus creating less pollution. We build 12 months of the year because we are not affected by weather conditions.
