The need for businesses to be agile and maintain cost-efficiencies has never been more important, as we live in uncertain times. This can mean committing to major purchases is risky, because business needs can change quickly and demand can be hard to predict.
If you want to investigate new locations or expand without capital commitment, cabin hire could be the solution you are looking for. Here’s a look at the potential advantages across sectors such as logistics, construction, education and healthcare.
Instant space with little upfront cost
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a cabin is that it allows businesses to expand without the large upfront costs of purchasing a traditional building or cabin. This can remove barriers to progress, particularly for smaller companies who are managing a tight budget, or those running multiple projects without much wriggle room.
You won’t need to make long-term budget commitments or find a big chunk of cash to invest in a deposit or new-build project. Furthermore, your costs will be predictable and controlled: typically, you will pay a monthly hire fee, and the supplier will take care of all the maintenance costs. This makes it easier to plan your budgets with no unexpected surprises.
Quick installation times
Often when a temporary need arises, time is of the essence. Maybe you have an emergency situation such as a flood or structural failure in your regular premises, or you just need the extra space to meet a sudden spike in demand. Modular cabins can be dispatched UK wide and assembled within short timescales, meaning minimal disruption for your business.
To ensure even faster installation times, look for a supplier who offers refurbished and ready-to-go portable buildings: they will only need a few small adjustments before you can use them.
Flexible hire terms
It’s often the nature of temporary needs that you don’t know how long they will last. While we offer a minimum hire period of six months as standard, we are able to offer more flexible terms if you need them, so don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your options.
As for the future, if you think that your needs will extend beyond three years, it might be more cost-effective to purchase a cabin. Again, we are happy to discuss individual cases, so please get in touch and we’ll be able to offer tailored advice.
By hiring a cabin (or multiple cabins) you’ll have the flexibility to scale up or down as required, without being tied to the rigidness of a permanent structure. It’s also possible to transport the cabins easily between locations, which is a huge advantage if you need them for evolving projects such as construction or festivals with multiple sites.
Customisable for any use
Quality portable buildings can be easily adapted to a range of purposes, and reconfigured or expanded. We can arrange for your hired cabin to be individually customised with partition walls, kitchenettes, toilets, showers, and more, so please feel free to discuss your needs.
The cabins are suitable for purposes such as:
- Marketing suites with company branding and colour schemes
- Portable offices with heating, lighting, power, and even air conditioning
- Welfare units including canteens, drying rooms and toilet facilities
- Healthcare cabins with clinical finishes for treatment or consultation
- Modular classrooms that meet the specs of permanent learning spaces
A sustainable choice
By hiring a cabin, you are reusing an existing building, contributing to the circular economy and reducing the carbon footprint of your business. Modern portable cabins are energy-efficient, built with insulation and LED lighting, and can include green add-ons like solar panels.
This helps to contribute to a positive Environmental, Social and Governance score, which is not only better for the planet, but makes your business more attractive to potential investors, partners and clients or customers.
Ongoing maintenance included
When you hire a cabin, you will also be getting a professional delivery and installation service, plus ongoing maintenance and servicing. This saves you the time and expense of dealing with these matters yourself, freeing up resources to invest in other areas of your business strategy.
So, there you have it: cabin hire is a strategic solution that is employed everyday by some of the biggest organisations in the UK, from the NHS to nationwide housebuilders and logistics firms. It’s cost-effective, fast, flexible, convenient and environmentally friendly.
We have a wide range of new and refurbished cabins for hire that can be customised for marketing suites, classrooms, clinics, and much more.
