English

Utilizing the modular construction method allows for the efficient production of high-quality classrooms, offices, hospitals, and various other structures, achieving completion up to 70% faster than traditional construction methods. Modular buildings, whether temporary or permanent, are crafted through off-site manufacturing using pre-fabricated units known as modules, hence the terms modular construction and modular buildings.

Ready for Immediate Use

The modular construction process involves the following steps:

——

● Individual modules are fabricated off-site in controlled factory conditions, typically fully equipped with electrics, plumbing, heating, and internal finishes.

● Modules are transported to the site via a lorry.

● Modules are then lifted into position using cranes.

● They can be interconnected side-by-side or end-to-end to create multi-story structures.

● Any additional fit-outs are tailored to meet specific requirements.

● Modular construction is renowned for its speed and reliability, offering both rapid deployment and certainty.

Minimal On-Site Duration

——

Modular buildings, such as offices, are manufactured off-site, mitigating delays associated with traditional on-site construction, such as adverse weather conditions or labor shortages. Upon delivery, modules are swiftly craned into place, resulting in a weatherproof modular structure within days.

Unmatched Flexibility

——

Modular construction provides unparalleled flexibility to create buildings of any scale, allowing for the addition or removal of units as needs evolve. Buildings can be relocated to different sites with all essential components intact.

Ideal for applications such as healthcare, classrooms, and offices, modular construction allows seamless scaling or downsizing without disruptions. If you possess a Portakabin building that is no longer needed, we also offer buy-back options to maximize your investment.

Cost Considerations

——

Modular buildings present a cost-effective alternative suitable for diverse applications. Reduced labor costs due to off-site construction, shorter construction timelines, and minimized material waste contribute to cost efficiency.

Sustainability Focus

——

Modular construction can significantly reduce carbon footprint compared to traditional on-site projects. Fabricating modules off-site results in a 90% reduction in vehicle movements and up to 90% less waste. Portakabin employs lean manufacturing processes to achieve these sustainability goals and was the first modular building company to align with the Major Contractors Group Sustainability Charter.

Historical Perspective

——

Modular building units trace back to the 19th century when a London-based carpenter aimed to create a prefabricated structure to assist his son's emigration to Australia. In 1837, he constructed the first prefabricated home. Since then, methods have evolved significantly, embracing more sustainable and enduring practices.
