Portable-building.co.uk have been looking into the environmental benefits of the refurbishment and relocation of portable and modular buildings and found some very interesting results. As we have known for a number of years refurbished used portable buildings provide a range of economical benefits allowing your budget to buy more building to a higher specification than what you would get with a new portable building. However, portable building wanted to look at the associated environmental benefits as well to see if when you buy a high quality used portable building from them there was an advantage to the planet as well as your budget.
Portable buildings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some large modular buildings can be joined together to provide an incredible amount of open plan floor space on various levels. Portable-building.co.uk specialise in relocating these buildings around the UK, with a full site plan, method statements and all the documentation you will need to remove you portable or modular building from itsâ€â„¢ current location and either install it in a new location for you or provide you with a competitive price to buy the portable or modular building for one of our many clients.
Economical sense: as we have already said the economic benefits of using a used modular or portable building are already known with used portable or modular buildings costing up to 70% less than an equivalent portable building. When these building as refurbished to a high standard, including new skins, roofâ€â„¢s and electrics it is easy to understand that you are able to fit a portable building with almost any budget or offer a superior solution for the same or even a lower cost.
Environmental benefits to using used modular or portable buildings is a little harder to measure, there is not a comparative number you can look at such as costs. However, we can look at what is required when you are building a portable or modular building from the raw materials to completion and the energy required to construct the building, the number of coats of paint, sealant along with outer and inner skins. When this is compared to the environmental cost of refurbishing the portable or modular building we believe used buildings are already ahead and providing a little bit of help for mother nature. We also believe the larger the building the bigger the saving, some modular buildings can be 3 or 4 stories high and have a tremendous amount of square feet on each floor. The saving per square foot would need to be worked out in order to provide an accurate saving per building and it is a large scale project to try and work out the actual saving.
Away from the environmental saving on a used portable building over a new portable building we also need to take into account the recycled element to this equation and the environmental cost of dismantling, removing and also the biodegradability of the unwanted portable or modular building.
