Welcome to Portable Buildings Source

Portable buildings are literally structures used for accommodation, storage and many other uses that can be easily and quickly erected and dismantled. This makes them suitable for use time and again in different locations.

Although often required as temporary buildings they can also be constructed to be extremely strong and long lasting. Portable buildings can be constructed to virtually any size required with a multitude of internal layouts possible. External facing and rendering can be in a variety of materials including tile, brick, metal, timber and resin.

The range of uses to which portable buildings can be put is huge with designs available to cover virtually every industrial, commercial and domestic need. A portable building can be used as an office, showroom, toilet and shower block, classroom, canteen, security hut, and storage shed to name just a few of the uses that it can be put to.

Underlining the strength to which modern portable buildings can be made are models specially designed for use in times of natural disaster where emergency accommodation is required. These buildings can be erected without the need for foundations and yet can withstand winds of up to 100 mph.

Many portable buildings are of ‘modular’ design, in other words built in sections or ‘modules.’ Construction of building parts is usually carried out off-site at a factory. This can apply to all the main parts of a building including the walls, floors, roof and ceiling. Assembly is usually carried out on-site, followed by internal fitting out including electrics and plumbing.

Construction is often cheaper and quicker than conventional buildings, and they are also considered to be a more environmentally friendly form of construction because the materials are only open to the elements during assembly not manufacture.

Portable or temporary buildings are buildings which are designed and built to be easily moved and transported as opposed to permanently located. A portable building differs from a modular building as they are often used on a more temporary basis and removed quickly. Temporary and portable buildings have been used for a large number of years.

The type of portable building which is most familiar have been designed so that they can be carried to or from a site on a large lorry and lifted on and off by a crane.

Portable buildings can take a variety of uses. They are often seen standing alone or in groups as temporary site offices on building sites. In this instance they are usually stacked two high with metal stairs to reach the upper level. Other examples of how a portable building can be used include rural offices and on site changing rooms.

Some portable buildings can be very complex where they join these units to form large office blocks, sometimes over several floors. These can be disguised as a normal building with the use of brick style cladding and a traditional pitched roof. However while these buildings often decrease in value over time, well built temporary and portable buildings should have the same longevity as it site-built counterpart, therefore increasing in value over time.

Portable buildings are typically constructed within a large indoor facility on assembly lines in off- site factories. They are then transported to the site where they are required.
