Our free, no-obligation Emergency Buildings Plans are designed to keep you functioning in the event of an emergency.

Minimise disruption in an emergency

If your buildings are unexpectedly damaged or made unusable for reasons beyond your control such as unstable RAAC, your top priority will be to ensure safety and minimise disruption for your employees, customers, pupils, patients or visitors. That’s possible with high-quality, interim specialist facilities from Portakabin.

 

A little planning goes a long way

An up-to-date and accessible disaster recovery plan is essential to ensure you are as prepared as possible for a crisis, reducing the pressure in what is a highly pressurised situation.

We can draw on a wealth of experience in disaster recovery for buildings to establish an Emergency Buildings Plan which meets your company’s objectives.

  1. The Emergency Buildings Plan includes:

    • A detailed breakdown of your requirements

     

    • An assessment of the space you have available for your interim facilities

     

    • A breakdown of any other needs such as: waste, drainage, electricity supply, access ramps, climate control, furniture and fire and security

     

    • A full comprehensive report summarising your building needs, our bespoke recommendation for your facilities, a breakdown of the cost along with everything you need to know about emergency building provision.

  2. Here's why you can rely on Portakabin:

    • 250,000m2 of covered manufacturing space – means we can always meet demand, uninterrupted by external factors such as weather

    • Over 55 locations and one of the UK’s largest stocks of buildings to hire – so we can rapidly deliver anywhere in the UK

The response from Portakabin and the whole property team following the floods was really outstanding… The fact that the building was delivered in just two weeks is really quite exceptional.
