Frequently asked questions

What is a modular building?

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.

Do I need planning permission?

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.

Do the buildings comply with the latest building regulations?

All modular buildings over 50m2 are typically built to UK building regulations. Any portable or anti-vandal cabins are not built to UK building regulations.
