New Temporary Buildings For Sale
Many businesses are now choosing to buy temporary buildings and use them instead of more permanent structures, achieving major time and cost savings in the process.
Semi-permanent industrial buildings lower cost and lower risk alternative to a standard building
They can do this because, although classed as temporary due to the ability to relocate them, temporary buildings meet the required British Standard for structural safety – BS6399, which means they can withstand the UK’s maximum snow and wind loadings and can therefore be used long-term.
What to consider when looking at temporary buildings for sale
A temporary building isn’t always suitable for long-term use, especially if there is any significant heating in the building. For storage, workshops and warehousing, or just to provide weather protection there are many examples in the UK of buildings being in situ and still going strong after twenty years plus.
