Who uses a modular building?
Modular – or portable – buildings are a great way of adding additional space
where a traditional building might not be right, examples include:

• Information Centres – pop up centres at tourist hotspots
• Offices – additional work space that can change over time
• Work Sites – security offices, management offices, staff rooms etc
