Planning, Fire Safety Certificate and Disability Access Certificate (DAC)
Unlike domestic Class 3 and Class 3A garden buildings, any modular building opened to staff, pupils, patients or the public requires commercial statutory approvals before use:
- Planning permission (unless covered by a specific school/state exemption).
- Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) and a Disability Access Certificate (DAC) from the local Building Control Authority, with Part M compliant ramps, 900 mm+ clear door widths and accessible WC facilities.

Questions people ask
How fast can a modular classroom be delivered for a school term?
Because the steel modules are wired, plumbed and fitted out in the factory while groundworks happen during school holidays, a single or twin classroom can be craned onto prepared foundations in 1 to 2 days and commissioned within 2 to 3 weeks.
Can modular commercial units be extended or relocated later?
Yes. Volumetric steel-framed modules are engineered with lifting points so extra bays can be bolted on later, or the entire building can be uncoupled and craned to a new site.
