Can I install a temporary building inside my existing warehouse?

When available space is limited, the need for adaptable and efficient use of existing structures becomes more important than ever. One way to create a bespoke space for your business without extending your current space is to install a temporary building within an area of your existing warehouse. This approach provides various benefits that can significantly enhance your operational capabilities.

Why install a building inside your warehouse?

At first glance, the idea of constructing a building inside another building might seem unusual. However, this concept can provide your business with numerous advantages, particularly when it comes to maximising your existing space. For instance, a temporary structure can serve as additional storage space or create specific areas with temperature and humidity control, essential for certain products or processes.

Temporary buildings that are located within a warehouse can serve multiple purposes:

  • Climate control: Certain products require storage in specific conditions. Your new temporary building can be equipped with temperature and humidity-controlled features, creating the perfect storage or workshop environment to ensure these products are kept in optimal conditions.
  • Custom spaces: Whether you need additional office space, workshops, or production areas, a temporary structure can be customised to meet your specific needs.
  • Additional storage: With a growing need for storage space, a temporary structure can help accommodate overflow inventory during peak seasons without the need for permanent storage solutions.

Offering flexibility within your existing space

One of the most significant advantages of on-site temporary structures is the flexibility they offer. These structures can be customised and reconfigured to suit changing business needs without causing any major disruptions.

Here are a few ways this flexibility can benefit your business:

  • Adaptable office space: As your business grows, you may need additional office space to manage stock or operations. Temporary buildings can be quickly built on-site to provide this extra space without having to wait for the construction of a permanent structure, which could take months or even years.
  • Custom workshop or production areas: These structures can be designed to accommodate specific equipment or production lines, allowing for seamless integration into your existing operations.
  • Storage facilities: Creating dedicated storage areas within your warehouse can help streamline operations and improve efficiency.

This adaptability ensures that your warehouse can continue to support your business as it evolves, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution.

Reduced installation times

Due to the structures being installed inside, our team of temporary warehouse experts can build your structure in a much shorter timeframe. This is often due to the reduced impact of unpredictable weather or additional groundwork requirements. This rapid installation means less downtime for your business and a quicker return to normal operations.

How have we helped businesses adapt by installing workshop spaces within existing warehouses?

As a market-leading consultancy business, our client in Cambridge required a bespoke solution that would allow them to control temperature and humidity within an area of their existing warehouse.

Collaborating closely with the client, we were able to install a 15m x 15m structure within just three days, filling the space currently available within the warehouse.

This allowed our client to create a temperature and humidity-controlled environment for their work.
