The use of recycled modular buildings continues to increase as more schools and local authorities recognise the cost, sustainability and quality benefits of this highly innovative solution to providing new teaching accommodation – particularly in these challenging economic times.
Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for recycled modular buildings in the education sector, and the approach is now being widely used to provide teaching facilities of the highest standards for both primary and secondary schools, academies and further education.
So why would schools consider a pre-owned modular building?
The Advantages of Recycled Modular Buildings
This more innovative approach to construction offers a range of practical benefits:
Programme times can be reduced by up to 70 per cent – It is faster than new manufacture and considerably faster than site-based construction methods, allowing education providers to meet place planning issues more quickly.
Safety is improved and disruption to teaching during construction is much less because the buildings are reconfigured and fully refurbished off site. The module cranage can also be easily timed to coincide with school holidays.
