Frequently asked questions

Why are modular buildings popular in construction?

Modular buildings offer a combination of speed, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal disruption compared with traditional construction. As they are manufactured in a controlled, indoor environment, peace of mind over quality, consistency, and delivery timeframes.

Do modular buildings meet the required building standards?

Yes, all of our modular buildings are designed to meet the required building regulations for all sectors, including fire safety standards, accessibility requirements, and any specific regulations dependent upon use.

Do your modular units come in specific sizes?

No, whilst many modular manufacturers have set sizes of units which they manufacture, at Ideal Building Systems we offer a completely bespoke solution. That means we manufacture modular units to the exact size our customers want.

Is there a minimum order for the number of module units?

No, for us there is no order too big or small in terms of unit numbers. Being a small team means that our clients receive personalised attention at every step, so if you want a single unit, without any internal fittings, or hundreds of units with a full fit-out to create an entire new complex, we can meet your needs.

How quickly can you manufacture and install modular buildings?

The speed of delivery to site and installation depends upon the scale and complexity of the order. Should we not be required to carry out groundworks, and be providing a basic shell unit only, we can often install on site within six weeks of order. For larger, more complex projects, we provide detailed project timelines, which we have a track-record of meeting without compromising on attention to detail.

What is the process when ordering from Ideal Building Systems?

At Ideal Building Systems, customers have a dedicated senior project manager contact from the very first consultation through to completion and handover. We offer a full turnkey package, assisting with planning applications, ground investigations, and other pre-construction activities, including executing site enabling works, groundworks. Customers are guided through the consultation and site survey, ahead of our team designing modular buildings to the layouts and specifications required.Units are manufactured off-site at our eight-acre manufacturing facility, in controlled conditions, ensuing units are produced to meet deadlines. Following installation – which can be anything from the modular building alone to full electrics, plumbing and heating – we provide a detailed handover and a fully compliant, modern, efficient building.
