Modular Buildings Made Easy: A guide to renting your perfect space

22/02/2023

Modular buildings have become more popular over recent years, particularly since the industry has developed past the standard grey boxes of years gone by. If you are looking for a temporary workspace or classroom or need extra facilities, their versatility and affordability make modular buildings an excellent consideration. You may not have considered using a modular building before, and Yorkshire Hire Centre are here to help. So, if you need help figuring out where to start, here is a quick guide to get you going.

 

What are Modular Buildings?

Modular buildings are prefabricated structures, meaning they are built in our factory and then transported to the site where you need them installed. These buildings are made up of individual sections or modules that are designed to fit together seamlessly, like building blocks. Because of the process of planning and building this way, the process lends itself to a high level of customisation, so modular buildings have a wide range of uses and can be tailored to your needs.

 

Why Rent a Modular Building?

There are many reasons to consider renting a modular building. For example, you might be looking for temporary office space whilst your main building undergoes renovation. Your sports club may be holding an event where you need additional changing or showering facilities. Modular buildings are also a popular choice in schools that need extra classroom space. If your requirement for extra space is only for a short amount of time, modular buildings can be quickly assembled and disassembled.

Renting a building is also an affordable option and can also be more environmentally friendly. In addition, as modular buildings are constructed in a factory, there is less waste, which means fewer emissions compared to more traditional construction methods.

 

Choosing the Right Modular Building

Before you rent a modular building, it's important to consider your specific needs. Modular buildings come in a variety of sizes and configurations, so you'll want to choose one that is the right fit for your project. You'll also want to think about the features and amenities that are important to you. For example, if you need a workspace, you may want a modular building with plenty of natural light and good ventilation. 

When choosing a modular building, it's also essential to consider the site where it will be installed. You'll need to make sure that the site is level and has access to the necessary utilities, such as electricity and water. You'll also need to make sure that there is enough space for the modular building to be delivered and installed.

 

Renting Vs Buying

For many businesses purchasing a modular building may be the most appropriate option, but that isn't the case for everyone. In a lot of instances renting is a more practical choice, and this may be the answer you are looking for.

Renting doesn't have the same upfront costs associated with buying a modular building, and you can often avoid some of the ongoing maintenance costs that come with owning a building.

The renting option also gives you a lot of flexibility as you are not committing to a long-term investment. So, if you only need the space for a finite amount of time, you have the confidence of renting the space for as long as you need it. Then when the time comes when you no longer need the building, you can simply contact us and return it to us.
