Frequently asked questions

Why are modular buildings popular in construction?

Modular buildings offer a combination of speed, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal disruption compared with traditional construction. As they are manufactured off-site, in a controlled environment providing peace of mind on quality, consistency and delivery timeframes.

Do modular buildings meet the required building standards?

Yes, all of our modular buildings are designed to meet the required building regulations for all sectors, including fire safety standards, accessibility requirements, and any specific regulations dependent upon use.

Do your modular units come in specific sizes?

No, whilst many modular manufacturers have set sizes of units which they manufacture, at Ideal Building Systems we offer a completely bespoke solution. That means we manufacture modular units to the exact size our customers want.

Is there a minimum order for the number of module units?

No, for us there is no project too big or too small so if you want a single unit or a multi-storey development, we can meet your needs.

How quickly can you manufacture and install modular buildings?

The manufacture and installation time depends upon the scale and complexity of the project. However, modular construction is inherently quicker than traditional methods and provides less disruption on site. Smaller, less complex projects can be delivered to site within six weeks of order. For larger, more complex projects, we would work collaboratively with the client team to meet project requirements.
