What is a temporary building?
A temporary building is a modular structure that delivers extra capacity quickly, without the cost or delay of permanent construction. Many of our solutions are used as semi-permanent buildings – in place for years at a time – making them ideal for schools, clubs, retailers and businesses that need reliable space without committing to a permanent build.
