What Makes Modular Classrooms an Economical Investment for Your School?
6 August 2024

If you’re looking to expand your school, then you’ll likely want to do so in as cost-effective a way as possible. The ideal solution, then, is a modular classroom.



Modular classrooms can be temporary or permanent structures whose components are constructed off-site, then assembled at your school. They can either stand alone or be joined together to create multi units. These are ideal for expanding school grounds, especially when the majority of classrooms have reached capacity.


If you’re looking to facilitate such expansions, then read on as we discuss why modular classrooms are your most economical way forward.


Reduced Construction Costs


Compared to traditional construction, modular buildings are much more affordable. Because their components are constructed in a factory, when it comes to actually assembling them on site, they require much less materials, tools, energy and manpower - all of which ultimately reduce your costs.

Construction may not even be required at all! Modular buildings are built to be transportable, so if you’re looking to further reduce costs, you may opt to install a pre-loved modular classroom. These can be relocated from a previous location to your school.


Quicker Installation


Being partially constructed already, modular classrooms are also much easier - and quicker - to install. As the saying goes, time equals money - so less time equals less money.


This includes reduced energy costs, labour costs and transport costs. Not only that, but there tends to be less errors and less waste, which helps to further reduce costs.


Increased Energy Efficiency


Modular classrooms are often designed to be energy efficient. Because of this energy efficiency, they can be cheaper for you to maintain - keeping your energy costs low in terms of heating and lighting. They’re also constructed with longevity in mind, meaning you can expect maintenance costs and any necessary repairs to stay low over time.


Optional Scalability


If you find that you need yet more classroom space later down the line, then you’ll find that modular classrooms are easily scalable. They can be easily customisable and multiple modular rooms can be added to existing modular structures.


This makes expansion both easier and more cost-effective for you, allowing you to channel your costs into other worthwhile investments and resources that benefit your school and the children’s learning and development.

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.
