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.
