WHICH STYLE OF BUILDING IS FOR ME?
30 June 2022

There are various types and styles of portable buildings available. They can be split into 2 different product ranges: Portable buildings and Modular buildings.


The difference between the two ranges are that a portable building is a self contained unit which is one section from 10ft up to 60ft long, whereas a modular building is made up in sections which are joined together to form large open plan spaces.


Modular buildings are perfect for a semi permanent structure to accommodate a number of people namely over 6 people in one area. They are often used as large office complexes or classrooms. Modular buildings also require a greater level of set up and need proper foundations so are used for more longer term projects.


Within the portable building range there are different styles but the 2 main styles are Anti vandal or jackleg cabins. Anti vandal is best suited for areas where a higher level security is required as these have shutters to the windows. They are quicker to assemble and can be ready to use within hours of delivery.

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.
