Turnkey Building Services

Our high-quality modular classrooms and education facilities are only as exemplary as they are because of the turnkey services we provide for every project. Through close collaboration with our clients, we create detailed designs and bring them to life with full manufacturing and installation, as well as helping you to navigate all the challenging and timely approvals of planning permission and additional building regulations.

Modular Classroom Design

We start by developing the perfect design for your modular classrooms and other educational facilities. Our in-house design team uses state-of-the-art 3D software to envision your designs and consult with you closely to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Part of the design can include accessible features for a SEN modular classroom, as well as any other specific requirements your facilities will need.

Planning and Compliance Support

Planning permission is an arduous task that can take time away from more important duties. We can handle the entire process for you by liaising with your local authority and handling all specifications and paperwork with them.

Typically taking between 8 and 12 weeks for approval, our team works fast to ensure projects run on time and any delays are overcome with due diligence.

Groundworks

One of the biggest benefits of choosing modular classrooms is that groundworks can be completed while the modules are being manufactured in our controlled facility. We can complete any required groundworks you might need onsite, including all mains services, ducting and drainage. We’ll have your school site fully prepared for modular classroom installation, speeding up project timelines with minimal disruption.

Modular Building Manufacturing

We manufacture your modular classrooms and facilities in our controlled factory premises. This benefits your school by reducing on-site disruption, reducing waste and speeding up the build process compared to traditional brick and mortar developments.

Site Installation

Once all modules are manufactured, our team provides full installation at your school site. We use specialist transportation to deliver your modular classrooms safely. Once unloaded, we’ll install everything, set all appliances up and connect all utilities that were completed during the groundworks.

Final Snagging and Handover

We never leave a modular classroom installed without performing all final snagging tasks. We check for gaps, uneven alignment, cladding and other quality factors before handing over all certificates along with the keys. Once you’re completely satisfied with the build, your modular classroom is ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a temporary classroom?

A temporary classroom is a modular and portable structure that’s installed on a site for short-term use. Modules are manufactured in a controlled environment and then delivered to the educational premises where they’re installed.

Do I need planning permission for a temporary classroom?

Planning permission will be required if the temporary classroom is in situ for more than 28 days. There are some instances where planning permission won’t be required for your temporary classroom, but in most circumstances you will need planning permission authorised. Our turnkey services handle the entire process, so if you are ever unsure about planning permission for your temporary classroom, let our team handle it for you.

Do building regulations apply to a refurbished classroom?

Yes, building regulations apply to a refurbished modular classroom. Refurbishments still need to consider factors like intended use, structural alterations, compliance with fire safety and accessibility. Our team can advise on building regulations for your refurbished classroom and ensure the build meets all necessary regulations.

Can I relocate a modular classroom?

Relocating a modular classroom is just one of the many benefits when compared to brick and mortar developments. The modular classroom can be dismantled and moved either somewhere else on site, or to another premises entirely. It requires the proper process for efficient and compliant relocation, which is also part of our expertise. If you need a modular classroom relocated, we’re here to help.

Why choose external cladding for a modular classroom?

We can install a range of cladding options for modular classrooms, which provide several key advantages. Cladding options like timber, Clad-ex or brick enhance the structure’s energy efficiency, helping to lower utility costs and prevent heat from escaping. Cladding also provides extra protection against adverse weather conditions. Another benefit is the aesthetics that external cladding provides, with our options able to match your school’s existing building features for a seamless finished look.
