Whatever your space needs there will be an ideal temporary buildings solution for you. You just need the help of a professional to find it. The main consideration will be how long you intend to use it.
Temporary Buildings from Stock
If your business needs to increase its space for storage or maybe extra manufacturing facilities, you don’t have to search around for a building to rent. If you have space, for example in a yard or car park, you could find that an instant answer to your problem is to install a temporary building at your premises.
There are hundreds of companies across the country taking advantage of the benefits offered by a temporary building. If you have the space available, there is no need to go off-site with all the associated costs of doing so.
You are able to increase the space capacity at your premises in two different ways, depending upon whether your need is short-term (up to approx 18 months) or permanent. Both solutions can support your business needs and cost-effectively, giving you the opportunity to either hire a relocatable temporary building or to purchase a fixed (or permanent) building which is fabricated to your specification.
Hiring a relocatable temporary building keeps you in control, with total flexibility with regards to the length of time you need it for. Available in sizes of 500 sq ft up to 25000sq ft, the building can be installed where you need it – either at your premises or a site you are working at.
Relocatable buildings are normally available from stock and can be installed within 28 days with no up-front payments or minimum-term contract to tie you to. With this approach, you aren’t stuck with paying for a building you no longer need. You simply need a flat surface for us to install the building on.

Purchasing a steel roofed building can prove to be very beneficial to a company. A major consideration is the very low capital cost of this route compared to a conventional building.
The buildings can be supplied in a range of cladding colours which if you are extending an existing building, can be matched. The roof can be designed to include clear roof-light panels to enable natural daylight.
Steel roofed temporary buildings are as secure as any other conventional building and are 100% watertight. The buildings can be specified to meet the latest Part L2 Building Regulations for conservation of fuel and power and comply with all Building Control Regulations.
The buildings come with parts, cladding warranties of up to 50 years and are maintenance free. Customers are able to specify their exact requirements for fabrication of the building and so receive a bespoke design and build.
The design and construction of the buildings means that insurance is not a problem as they are compliant with insurance requirements.
We think that one of the major benefits of this building system though is that as the building is NOT classed as demountable; the purchase can be financed using a mortgage as an asset.
Steel Building Considerations
The steel roofed buildings almost appear to be perfect, but there are other aspects that you need to consider about them.
The purchase and installation needs far more detailed project planning and project management compared to hiring a temporary relocatable building. The whole project really needs to be treated as a construction project with all its accompanying regulatory controls.
The structure requires a level concrete pad or base (or a level tarmac base); this will most likely need to be designed by an engineer to ensure that it conforms to all relevant standards.
The scope of installing such a temporary building means that applications will need to be made to the local authorities for planning and building control permissions. This process can lead to delays and also added costs for the application for the necessary permissions and new building warrant.
Additionally, depending upon the size of the intended building, the project would be subject to CDM regulations.
In Conclusion
Ultimately, to decide which option is best for you and your business, you need to know as much information as possible about the different temporary building systems available. There are many factors involved but fundamentally, the most important consideration really boils down to the time frame you are going to want the building; and if you intend to apply for planning permission.
