Temporary buildings can be an invaluable resource for businesses, governments and private citizens looking to add temporary extra space or hold events. But temporary building costs vary widely based on the size, complexity and use of the temporary structure, making it difficult to ballpark a cost range.
Costs to Hire a Temporary Building
If you need temporary building space for a short-term event or project, then hiring may be your best option. However, depending on how long your temporary building is needed for and what type of structure you require (tent, industrial unit etc), hiring will come with some considerable associated costs. Generally speaking, these include:
- Delivery/installation charges
- Hiring fees – which can depend on the length of time you need to use the temporary structure
- Any extra items/services such as heating, lighting, furniture etc.
- Removal fees
Costs to Buy a Temporary Building
If you’re looking for temporary building space over an extended period of time then it can be more cost-effective to purchase or lease your temporary building. Purchasing or leasing will generally include some initial outlay and any annual maintenance costs. You may also need to factor in how much it will cost to move the temporary structure from one site to another if required. However, with this option there are a lot of benefits including:
- Ownership or full control of the temporary building during its lifespan
- Flexibility to re-locate the temporary building if needed
- Lower running costs over the lifetime of the temporary structure
- Potential for resale or reuse in other projects
Low Cost and Ongoing Commercial Gain
Temporary buildings can be an incredibly efficient way to increase usable space on a temporary basis, allowing businesses to remain operational without investing too heavily upfront. Investing in temporary buildings may even result in long lasting commercial gain, such as increased productivity, improved customer service or a reduction in operational costs. Additionally, temporary buildings are quick to install and remove meaning that setup and teardown times are much shorter than with permanent structures. This means you don’t need to worry about tying up large amounts of capital in temporary buildings, as they can easily be repurposed or moved to another site if necessary.
Conclusion
In conclusion, temporary building costs vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the temporary structure. Hiring offers a short-term solution but generally involves some considerable associated costs. Purchasing is more cost-effective in the long term, with plenty of potential benefits such as ownership and flexibility to re-locate your temporary building. Overall, temporary buildings are an incredibly efficient way to increase usable space on a temporary basis without tying up too much upfront capital.
All things considered – temporary buildings offer low cost, and often ongoing commercial gain for businesses. So why not consider temporary buildings when you need extra space or hold an event? If you’re looking for a temporary building, look no further than Mar-Key Group.
