Benefits of Modular Building Construction
Modular construction can be used for almost any application, ranging from site huts to state-of-the-art operating theatres.Learn more -
Why choose modular over traditional construction?
For faster delivery, adaptability and a better effect on the environment, choose modular. Modular builds are produced in controlled factory settings, so projects stay on schedule and achieve a consistent standard of quality that’s harder to maintain with traditional site-based methods.Learn more -

Flexibility comes first
In challenging times, you need to have a prefabricated solution you can trust. Modular buildings can be erected much faster than traditional ones and in particular Portakabin solutions can be up to 70% faster – without compromising on quality. Ideal for healthcare, classrooms and more, modular helps you scale up or downsize at a moment’s notice. This includes modular offices that provide year-round comfortable working environments, no matter what the weather outside.
-
On time; on budget
Not only are modules faster – they also offer great value for money. As established modular building manufacturers, Portakabin is unique in the industry in providing an on time, on budget promise.
Every project comes with the on time and on budget promise. In the unlikely event that we fail to meet your deadlines, we’ll give you a week’s free hire, or 1% of the contract value if you buy. (Terms and conditions apply)

A sustainable alternative
Meet your sustainability goals through the advantages of our lean manufacturing method. All construction takes place in an offsite environment before installation at your site, offering a sustainable build programme under factory conditions. This results in 90% less vehicle use, and 90% less waste.
-
Permanent-standard durability
Not all modular buildings are steel framed but ALL Portakabin modular buildings are constructed using steel frames. You can expect the same durability as a permanent structure and Portakabin modular buildings such as offices, retail units and healthcare facilities come with a 30-year structural warranty for your peace of mind.

Total design freedom
There are no limits to the possibilities of modular buildings. Offsite construction isn’t impeded by bad weather, skills shortages or low productivity. If you need to build upwards or sideways, gain or lose some space, you can change your design even months or years later.

Modular build techniques
Ever wondered how the modular construction process works? This modern, sustainable and flexible manufacturing method sees pre-fabricated units being created within factory settings and then transported to site. Modular structures can be used to make buildings of any scale or layout, with quick completion times and very little disruption to businesses. Read our handy guide to learn much more about the benefits of modular construction.
-
Off-site construction
With your design in hand, our experts build the modules off site ready to be transported as ready-made and fitted-out buildings to your site. This approach reduces time on location and keeps every stage of construction under controlled factory conditions for consistent quality.
-
Ready-made buildings
Volumetric construction methods mean that modular buildings can be installed ‘ready to go’ with fixtures and fittings in place giving you shorter programme times, faster occupancy and a quicker return on investment.
