Most buildings sit on a level concrete slab, pad foundations or ground screws. We'll confirm the right base for your ground conditions and building, and you can use your own groundworker or ask us to arrange it.
Services

Delivery and installation
The building is delivered by lorry and lifted into position, usually by crane. We check access, lifting positions and overhead obstructions in advance. Once in place, services are connected and the building is ready to use.
Can it be customised?
Yes. Layout, size, doors, windows, cladding, colours, internal finishes and equipment can all be chosen. If you need something unusual, see bespoke modular buildings.
