Are temporary structures as reliable as permanent structures?

At Aganto, we identified the top requirements our customers have for their new structures. This allowed us to compare the reliability of our temporary structures to installing a permanent building. Keep reading to find out how they compare.

The capacity of your modular temporary building depends on the size and layout of the structure. Temporary buildings come in various sizes and can be customised to fit specific needs. Designed to maximise space, they ensure you can store as much as you would in a permanent structure.

With more stringent planning regulations and less flexibility, optimising the layout in order to maximise storage space in a permanent building can be much more difficult. Furthermore, should you need additional capacity immediately, the installation time for a permanent structure can be several months, considerably longer than the 4-5 days it takes to install a modular building. Whether you need to store inventory, equipment, or materials, temporary buildings can be tailored to accommodate your additional storage space requirements with flexible internal layouts.

At Aganto, our temporary structures are built with materials that ensure your building is fully weather-resistant. While they might not always be 100% watertight, our temporary structures use a range of sealing methods to ensure they are as waterproof as possible. These options include additional flashing or adding a raised platform below your modular building.

When constructing a permanent building, waterproofing is essential, however, it's frequently neglected or done incorrectly. Water can seep through joints, fractures, and porous surfaces in the absence of adequate waterproofing measures. Over time, stains, peeling paint, and structural degradation can result from persistent water leaks. This may potentially have an impact on your building's safety. Therefore, make sure you have taken the necessary precautions to shield your structure from the weather before choosing a permanent solution.

Traditional buildings are trusted to last the test of time and withstand harsh weather conditions, but so are our buildings.

All our temporary structures are built to the highest standards for long-term use in the UK and are fully compliant with snow and wind loadings to BSEN1991. They also conform to British Fire & Safety codes and building regulations. Furthermore, our team of temporary building experts will carry out all essential ground tests and put in place any additional safety measures before installation begins to ensure the safety of your workforce.

Our consultative approach means that we can adapt your building solution to your requirements. This includes adding ventilation systems, heating or additional insulation to allow you to control the temperature inside your structure.

In a traditional building, the cost of heating and cooling the extra space could be significantly more expensive due to the energy-efficient design of an Aganto temporary warehouse, including insulated walls and roofs.

Temporary structures offer a versatile and reliable alternative to permanent construction work. With the right design, materials, and maintenance, they can exceed the performance of traditional structures in many areas. Whether you need additional storage, a temporary workspace, or a flexible solution for your business needs, Aganto's temporary buildings provide a robust and long-lasting option.
