Permanent-quality buildings delivered on time and on budget – that’s the promise from your local Glasgow Visitor and Hire Centre

The Portakabin Glasgow Visitor and Hire Centre offers you a comprehensive range of high-quality modular and portable buildings, suitable for every application, backed by an unbeatable one-stop-shop service.

Local knowledge from the modular and portable building specialists
The team at your local Glasgow Visitor and Hire Centre understands the needs of organisation and businesses located throughout the area, including food and drink companies, education and healthcare providers, city councils and other public-sector organisations. We are dedicated to ensuring we always meet your specific building requirements, on time and on budget.

Proven expertise you can trust
With more than 50 years’ experience of supplying customers in every sector, from education and commerce to manufacturing and healthcare, you can be sure we have the expertise to provide buildings, large or small, to meet your specifications.

Permanent-quality buildings
Portakabin buildings meet all permanent building standards. This assures you of comfortable, spacious, energy-efficient and robust facilities, fully fitted out with everything you require, from air-conditioning systems to high-quality furniture.

Rapid delivery – minimal disruption
Buildings can be delivered to you from the Glasgow Visitor and Hire Centre within days – sometimes even hours – if required. Due to minimal on-site works, modular buildings are installed quickly, safely and with virtually no environmental impact, requiring up to 90% fewer vehicle movements than traditional construction sites.

Cost and time certainty
Our unique Customer Charter promises that every building will be delivered on time and on budget. And we’re the only supplier to back up this commitment with a promise that if we ever fail to meet your contract start date, we’ll give you a week’s free hire for every day we’re late.¹

Since 2003, we have delivered 99.7% of buildings on time and on budget² – that compares very favourably with the construction-industry average of just 34% of projects completed on time and 58% on budget.³

One-stop-shop solution
The Glasgow Visitor and Hire Centre will handle your entire project for you, from managing planning permission applications and groundworks to fitting all alarm systems, access ramps and other extras you need – giving you a single, local, point of contact.
