What are the benefits of prefabricated cabins vs a brick build?

Posted in Blog

 There are several benefits of choosing a prefabricated cabin compared to commissioning the design & build of a brick building.

• Typical life spans for modular sanitary buildings (containing Toilet, Shower and Changing Room facilities) are 25 years for Timber Frame Construction and up to 50 years for Steel buildings.
• Ground preparation is significantly easier and less costly than for brick buildings because most prefabricated buildings can be sited on relatively inexpensive concrete footings.
• Construction or Prefabricated building costs are also significantly less, usually about 50% of the cost of conventional brick construction.
• And finally, whilst construction of a fixed brick building can often take upwards of 6 months, the average lead time for prefabricated sanitary buildings is usually between 6-8 weeks.

What does it cost for a prefabricated cabin vs brick build?

Our prefabricated  cabins can be designed with fitted toilets, showers & changing rooms at an average cost of £60 per square foot. You’ll certainly find the equivalent brick build will cost a lot more, on average £120 per square foot for a brick building with all the finishing.
