Sustainability is at the heart of our business, and we aim to reuse and recycle wherever we can so refurbishing pre-owned building stock is one way we can deliver on our sustainability pledge. On a practical level, there are also benefits for you in terms of cost savings and rapid delivery times as we always hold a stock of high quality pre-owned modular buildings ready for immediate delivery or refurbishment.

Modular Buildings are delivered to site by either rigid or articulated HGV. The mobile crane then offloads them onto the pre-built foundations. So it’s essential we carry out an initial site survey to check access.

Modular buildings are inherently sustainable, and they are portable and therefore can be recycled and refitted time and time again, Nearly 87% of the construction process takes place off-site, minimising waste and use of new resources.

Modular buildings are designed to be low maintenance. Minimal maintenance will be required, predominately because of the high-quality fixtures and fittings we use for our structures. All materials used are covered by individual manufacturer’s warranties.

You’re very welcome to do this if you have the knowledge, expertise and capacity in-house. However, we can offer a complete turnkey package and manage these service connections for you.
