Benefits of Algeco Off-Site Solutions permanent buildings
Algeco Off-Site Solutions structures use a specialist frame construction or volumetric modules, depending on the size of the building and how much you want to customise both the exterior and interior design. Our permanent modular buildings are built to stand the test of time. Each building can be designed bespoke to the needs of your project, with various exterior improvements possible if you’re after a more modern or traditional look.Â
Another benefit of modular buildings is that the construction process significantly reduces material waste and has a smaller impact on the environment compared to traditional construction methods. Portable building manufacture can happen at the same time as on-site preparations, reducing the overall build time and minimising downtime on your site.
