Is there a busy period for Modular Building manufacturing?

Strangely enough there is!

Firstly, the Education sector has always been a major player in the procurement of modular buildings and the continuous innovation in design and improvement in building materials coupled with a massive choice in materials has created a growing demand for modular throughout the year.

However, when you then add to this year-round growing demand the fact that a disproportionate level of the decision making by the Education sector occurs during the early part of a new year the combined effect means January through to March are the busiest time of the year for most modular suppliers.

It is certainly true for us here at GCS.

The fact is, at this time of year schools start to plan for the intake of new pupils in the summer, assess the impact of a growing population of schoolchildren and analyse the increasing demand for more space created by pre & after school clubs, nursery units, sports facilities etc.

The result of these considerations is generally a resounding – “we need more space and we need it quick!”

This clearly leads to initial enquiries, estimating, negotiating and planning and all the other essentials associated with the project.

The problem is that firstly the acquisition of a modular building can be quite complex and include actions and decision making out of your control – funding, planning permission, site assessment, groundworks, landscaping all need organising and are elements of the purchase in which progress is influenced by external parties and all at a time when they are already busy. The clear message is that if you need a modular building in the summer you had better start the process as soon as you can in the new year if you want to stay ahead of the game.

If you do find yourself at the mercy of an overstretched market and are worried that your new building just won’t be ready in time, there is a solution and GCS Cabins are happy to work with you to provide an answer.
