Modular construction is a building method where structures are constructed in standardized sections, or "modules," in a controlled factory setting. Buildings are then transported to site where they are assembled (if necessary) and installed. 

Modular construction uses the same materials and follows the same codes as traditional construction, while off-site fabrication offers the benefits of faster construction times, improved quality control, and less on-site disruption.

The main difference between portables and traditionally built classrooms lies within their construction method rather than the learning space itself. 

Portable classrooms and traditional classrooms are the same when it comes to safety standards, building codes, and building materials used. Our portables are designed and manufactured to be functionally and aesthetically indistinguishable from traditional classroom spaces, and come fully equipped with climate control for comfort.

Leasing with a full-service provider is often more cost effective than buying. Why is this the case?

The initial cost of purchasing a portable upfront does not account for the many cost components that go into portable use:

  • Initial delivery and installation 
  • Regular and routine maintenance
  • Relocation and re-installation
  • Removal

This means that, while portable ownership may seem more appealing upfront, when the costs to maintain, move, and dispose of buildings inevitably come into play, the true lifetime cost of buying is likely to exceed the overall cost of leasing.

The OECM (Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace) is a 100% optional service. 

  • Participation is not required by the Ontario Provincial Government. 
  • If your school board has an agreement with the OECM, exclusive participation for all procurement is still not required.

The OECM should be considered a helpful tool in procuring, while final decisions for what is best for each board remain at your team's discretion.

Portables are designed, engineered, and fabricated to meet the same stringent building codes and safety standards as traditionally built structures.

Because they’re built in sections, portables undergo structural inspections throughout the construction process. Additional inspections are also performed on-site during installation to further verify your classroom's structural integrity.

Portables are built using the same high-quality materials and professional finishes as traditionally constructed buildings. Their indoor manufacturing provides additional material quality control, ensuring their integrity.

Our portables are designed and manufactured to be functionally and aesthetically indistinguishable from traditional classroom spaces, and come fully equipped with climate control for comfort.
