Got a Question?

FAQs about Herchenbach temporary buildings and our services. Contact us with any questions.

A temporary building is a modular aluminium structure engineered for semi-permanent use. Unlike traditional steel or masonry construction, it assembles rapidly on almost any surface without heavy foundations, and can be extended, relocated or dismantled as your needs change.

Our UK office is based in Manchester and we deliver temporary building projects throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We are part of the wider Herchenbach group, with over 100 years’ experience and offices across Europe.

Yes. Our buildings can be erected on gravel, tarmac, paving or concrete. A traditional foundation is not required, which significantly reduces preparation time and cost.

As a rule of thumb, we complete 1,000m² of building in approximately 5 working days. Total project timelines – from first consultation to handover – typically range from 4 to 8 weeks depending on size and specification.

Our buildings are engineered to BS EN 1991 standards for permanent-level wind and snow loads, with a structural design life of up to 50 years. We also provide ongoing maintenance and after-sales service support.

Yes. Most of our projects are rental projects. We offer flexible rental contracts tailored to your requirements. Rental protects your investment budget, is tax-deductible, and includes storm and fire insurance. At the end of the rental period, you can choose to buy, extend or return the building.
