Why are portable cabins perfect for flexible workspaces?

Much has changed in the last few years when it comes to considering working environments. With more people working remotely, businesses have had to think more carefully about working practices and facilities. Portable cabins are not a new idea by any means; however, their design has given companies flexibility that cannot be denied.

At GCS Cabins, we have been supplying cost-effective, durable and versatile portable buildings for over 17 years. We have seen how these flexible buildings provide great workspaces for many businesses you may not have considered.

 

What is a portable cabin?

We should explain the concept to fully appreciate the flexibility of a portable cabin. You are probably aware of portable buildings and will no doubt have seen them on various sites before.

Portable cabins, also known as portable buildings, are constructed in a factory environment. They are modular structures designed for ease of construction and installation. Portable cabins are built with steel frames using robust materials to withstand all weather conditions and provide comfortable interiors.

The ease of installation is what fundamentally makes them portable. They require very little groundwork other than firm, level ground. Portable cabins do not require foundations and are installed using solid, adjustable uprights called jacklegs. Because jacklegs are adjustable, a portable building can be installed almost anywhere and relocated when needed.

Flexible buildings for your business

Portable cabins are a great option for businesses looking for workspaces to cater to the varied needs of their staff. There are various benefits to installing a portable building for your company.

Versatile space

Portable buildings can be used for many applications including offices, classrooms, changing facilities and much more. Buildings can be designed to incorporate features, fixtures and fittings to accommodate your needs.

Everything within a portable building can be designed around your requirements. The customisation of portable cabins is far-reaching. The configuration can be changed to suit your needs, so you can include partition walls where you need them for private areas or kitchen facilities, for example.

Flexible locations

We’ve already discussed how portable buildings require very little work for installation. The ease of installation also makes them very easy to relocate if necessary. This gives businesses and organisations incredible flexibility. Portable buildings can be sited in nearly any location. This flexibility means you can locate your building close to staff or clients to make the most out of your site.

Portable cabins can be relocated as easily as they are installed, giving you even more flexibility. If your business needs to relocate, whether because of seasonality or changes in your project, portable buildings are ideal. Simply contact your supplier, who can arrange to pick your cabin up and move it to another location.

Easily maintained

The durable nature of portable buildings makes them very easy to maintain. Not only does this mean that businesses find them cheap to run, but it also means that they can adapt with you. If business needs change, portable buildings can be changed to reflect that. From changing the configuration inside to adding cladding on the outside, you can easily renovate a portable building.

Financially beneficial

The cost-effective nature of portable cabins provides multiple advantages for many companies. Whether we are talking about a start-up business or a charity with tight budgets, portable buildings offer a budget-friendly option for new premises. Reducing the capital spent on premises means that owners can focus funds on other areas of the business.

Portable buildings are also energy efficient and easily maintained, as we have mentioned, which reduces running costs.

Ideal portable buildings for any sector

The flexibility of portable cabins has been demonstrated across a wide variety of sectors. There are portable buildings for sale that can benefit any business need.

Offices

Every business needs space for employees to complete a variety of day-to-day tasks. Portable buildings provide comfortable environments that are designed for productivity. Staff can have easy network access with internet connectivity in ergonomically designed offices.

Construction sites

Every construction site needs indoor space to complete administrative tasks, hold meetings and greet site visitors. Portable buildings are also perfect for site staff welfare and are able to be fitted for kitchens, rest areas and changing facilities.

Marketing Suites

Combining construction sites and offices, homebuilders need space for potential buyers to be greeted and for sales staff to negotiate. Portable buildings are perfect for homebuilders because they can be tailored and designed with site photos and logos. They are also comfortable spaces for potential buyers to review brochures and ask questions. Marketing suites can also be moved to another site when the current site is complete.

Schools and Colleges

The fast installation of portable buildings makes them ideal for the education sector. Rapid deployment allows schools to respond to an influx of students or a need for additional facilities. Portable buildings can be used for classrooms, staff rooms, science labs or locker rooms.
