Comparing modular buildings vs traditional construction is a vital step when planning a new project. The method you choose will influence delivery times, build quality, and long-term cost certainty. As one of the UK’s leading modular building manufacturers, Portakabin shows how modular construction buildings provide a faster, more flexible alternative to traditional building methods, helping you make a fully informed decision.

  1. Rapid delivery, with no compromise on quality

     

    Modular buildings equal the durability and quality of permanent buildings, being built to the latest building regulations and planning requirements. The key advantage of modular construction is the significant time saving. 

    For example, a completely new modular office building will typically be ready for occupation up to 50% faster than a traditionally constructed building, or a refurbished option can be ready up to 70% faster. 

  2. Emergency solutions available in hours

     

    When time is critical, leading modular building manufacturers like Portakabin can deliver fully equipped spaces in a matter of hours.

    For instance, our emergency modular buildings solution can be with you in hours and are designed so that you can keep your business functioning even when your permanent buildings are unexpectedly damaged or suddenly become unusable.

Complete transparency

 

With modular building construction, you gain far greater time and cost certainty from day one. Unlike traditional site-based projects, modular buildings are produced off-site through controlled, repeatable processes that aren’t limited by weather delays or labour shortages. Portakabin uses standardised manufacturing and precise scheduling to provide accurate project data at every stage. 

 

When our dates moved forwards they were able to bring our installation forwards, it was very hassle free and the team were friendly, approachable and did a great job. Our clients and customers are always impressed with the offices, remarking on how light and airy it feels. All in all, we could not be happier with the end result!
