Last year, 99.9% of Portakabin building projects were completed on time and on budget.

When you want a temporary building solution but with all the benefits of a permanent-quality building, hiring a portable or modular building from Portakabin is the ideal solution. You get a quality-assured, fully fitted and ready-to-use building delivered fast to meet even the most urgent requirements. And you can keep it for as long as you need it, from a matter of months to several years or more. You'll have no maintenance worries either, as Portakabin offers full service support throughout your hire contract.

Your building delivered on time and on budget - that's a promise
When you hire a building from Portakabin, we promise that it will be delivered on time and on budget. In the unlikely event that we ever fail to deliver on time, we'll give you a week's free hire for every day that we're late.³ But you shouldn't have to worry, last year we delivered 99.9% of buildings on time and on budget.¹ That compares very favourably with a traditional construction industry average of just 59% on time and 46% on budget.²
