ABOUT PORTABLE BUILDINGS

Portable buildings are manufactured in factory conditions, and are delivered to site as complete buildings. Compared to a traditional building, portable buildings have the advantages of factory level quality, less material waste, and quicker delivery. Larger portable buildings are steel framed, with wall panels made of traditional building materials such as wall panel or ribbed steel. Roofs are usually covered with an EPDM synthetic rubber roofing sheet.

Portable buildings may be free standing, or may be constructed as additions to existing buildings such as schools or offices. They may also be stacked two or more storeys high.

Specialist portable buildings are available as emergency shelters for disaster relief, and to withstand high winds and extreme conditions.
