FAQs

What are the benefits of modular classrooms compared to traditional school buildings?

Modular classrooms are faster, more affordable, and less disruptive than traditional school construction. They are manufactured off-site in controlled environments, ensuring consistent quality and compliance with education standards. Once delivered, they can be installed quickly, reducing downtime for schools and nurseries. Modular buildings are also flexible and scalable, meaning layouts can be tailored to include classrooms, offices, canteens, or specialist learning spaces.

How quickly can a modular classroom or school building be delivered and installed?

Most modular classrooms can be delivered in a matter of weeks and installed on-site in just a few days. The timescale depends on the size and complexity of the building required – single classrooms can be ready very quickly, while larger multi-room or multi-storey school facilities may take longer to manufacture. Because construction happens off-site, installation is efficient and causes minimal disruption to daily school life.

Are modular classrooms suitable for permanent use or only temporary solutions?

Modular classrooms can be used for both temporary and permanent applications. Schools often choose them as temporary solutions during refurbishments or when enrolment suddenly increases. However, modular school buildings are also robust enough for long-term use, with a typical lifespan of 20–60 years when maintained properly. This makes them a reliable option for permanent classrooms, nurseries, or training centres.

Can modular classrooms and nursery buildings be customised for accessibility and child-friendly facilities?

Yes, modular classrooms and nursery buildings can be fully customised for accessibility and child-friendly use. Options include accessible toilets, ramps, wide doorways, and layouts that comply with disability regulations. For nurseries and early years settings, interiors can be designed with child-focused features such as low-level fittings, bright open spaces, and secure play areas. This ensures the building supports safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environments.
