How much does it cost to build a temporary building?

If your proposed industrial unit is an addition or extension to your existing premises or a new facility is required for a specific function – there is probably a better, more cost-effective solution. A modern constructed temporary industrial unit has many advantages over a conventionally constructed industrial building. The build cost is just one factor. Additionally, because it’s semi-permanent – the functionality you require from an industrial unit will not be compromised.

A temporary industrial unit is, in some circumstances, exempt. But the rateable value of your temporary building will likely be much lower than a traditional structure. This is due to it being a freestanding and portable building. So it’s not dissimilar to a capital investment in pallet racking and the rateable value assessed by your local authority will likely be significantly less than a conventionally built industrial unit. This is because it can easily be removed re-erected and reused elsewhere.

A temporary building can be purchased new or if you want to bag yourself a bargain, it could be previously owned – either way, you can get finance to spread the cost over a period of time. Alternatively, you can lease the temporary structure, like you might any other piece of operational equipment, and gain the tax benefits this possibly provides. If you’re not sure, you can always rent short-term and road-test the building.

It’s inevitable at some point you’re likely to need more space, whether a seasonal peak, a specific contract win or organic growth. Extending a conventional industrial unit is a disruptive process, which takes time and significant financial investment. With a temporary industrial unit, you can have an extension in weeks with minimal disruption to your business. You could even rent the additional prefabricated roof, floor and wall units for the specific period you need the extra space – then retract to the original building size when the seasonal peak or one-off contract has come to an end.

The typical life expectancy of temporary structures is measured in decades and the strong and durable aluminium frame comes with a 10-year guarantee. With proper maintenance and care your new building could last up to 20 years.

They can be erected on a variety of surfaces because the unique and non-disruptive method of construction involves anchoring the buildings down to the existing hard ground using base plates and ground anchors.
