Modular buildings are all the rage at the moment - not only in the world of construction, but they’re just as popular amongst consumers. These cost-efficient, easy to install and versatile buildings are ideal for a range of uses.



But, how can you take advantage of the benefits these units have to offer to bring in a steady stream of income? Get a good return on your investment and read on to see how you can make money from your own portable building.


Create a Quaint Room for Airbnb


One of the first ways you can make money from your modular building is by converting it into stylish accommodation that can then be listed on Airbnb.


Modular buildings can be configured to offer the perfect accommodation space - fitted with lighting, heating, toilets, washing facilities and optional kitchen facilities. With all the basics in place, all you need to worry about is channelling your inner interior designer and making the place look chic and attractive - encouraging potential guests to book your place for their staycation getaways.


As for the exterior, you can utilise bespoke services to meet your vision, such as utilising cladding for a more attractive finish.


Support Your Side Hustle


If you have a hobby that you’re passionate about, then why not turn it into a side hustle and make some money from it?


You can use a portable building to create your very own hobby-room where you can hone your craft. By creating an inspiring space to house all your materials and tools, you have room to make your creations more efficiently. Upon doing so, you can then sell these on an online platform, such as Etsy, or at local markets.


Rent Out Private Storage


Self-storage businesses are utilised by many individuals, whether they require temporary storage to help with a home move or to free up space during a refurbishment job. With that said, self-storage can be expensive.


By offering your modular unit as a storage space for individuals with such needs, then this is a great way for them to find a more affordable solution for their storage needs, whilst you can generate a steady stream of additional income.

Businesses of all kinds must work hard to interact with their customers and clients, helping to build lasting relationships that lead to an increase in revenue. Marketing can come in a variety of forms, including digital, print and in-person, where it is important to reach out to a broad audience in order to get your business on the map. Sometimes, an in-person interaction is the most effective way of conveying information, in order to build connections and boost the success of a commercial endeavour. In this context, a portable, modular building can make a big difference, where these spaces can function as multi-purpose marketing suites for all kinds of industries. Read on to find out more about how a marketing suite could benefit your business. What is a Marketing Suite? A portable marketing suite is a distinct type of modular building, where these structures can be installed in one pre-fabicated piece. Alternatively, modular suites can consist of several connected units, rapidly creating a larger space. Like other kinds of modular buildings, portable marketing suits are designed to be temporary, and can function in a pop-up capacity instead of as a long-term structure. Their temporary nature allows for quick builds to solve short-term needs, without the cost or planning restrictions that come with permanent structures. In particular, marketing suites can be used to promote the products and services offered by a business. They can also be used as a temporary hub to greet clients or to host events, with interiors that can be customised according to various business needs. What Industries Could Use a Marketing Suite? Lots of different industries could benefit from a portable marketing suite, where this multi-purpose space can be adapted to suit a variety of commercial requirements. Property For businesses in the property industry, having a temporary marketing space can be incredibly useful when it comes to showcasing floor plans or offering information about a new development. Some estate agents, site developers and property investors may also wish to install a temporary office near a new build site to allow for effective communication and project management. Events The events and hospitality sector could also benefit from a portable marketing suite. This space may be used to promote events, share information or register guests. For large events, a portable suite may also come in handy as a dedicated VIP area. Retail For retail businesses, a marketing suite could be used as a space for product displays and demonstrations, or to promote a new service. Additionally e-commerce businesses may wish to utilise a portable suite if they would like to do some in-person networking or product launches. Education A modular marketing suite can also be used by businesses in the education sector, as a versatile space for hosting on-site training or recruitment events. Healthcare  If healthcare organisations need to advertise core services or introduce new health programmes into a remote community, then a marketing suite can help. These buildings can also be used for community meetings and for annual vaccinations.
