Portakabin, the UK’s leading modular building specialist, has introduced a CPD programme to help architects, contractors and facilities managers in both public and private sectors improve their understanding of modular construction.
The programme aims to share expertise and help customers and specifiers to procure modular buildings more effectively and to optimise the benefits for each project, whether for permanent or interim use.
Two free hour-long interactive seminars have now been approved and accredited by the RIBA and can be arranged at a time and venue to suit the attendees.
The seminars are Decanting without Compromise, looking at:
• The key advantages of modular construction for interim applications
• What to look for in a modular supplier
• Latest innovations in off-site construction
• Bespoke solutions for specific sectors
• Health and safety
• Environmental impact
How Off-site Construction is Changing the Face of Modern Britain, covering:
• Improving understanding of off-site construction
• The advantages compared to traditional site-based building methods
• A guide to the modular building process to help procurement.
Commenting on the new programme, Mike Williams, General Manager of Portakabin Hire, said “We have been providing accommodation solutions, in some of the most demanding situations, for nearly 50 years. This has enabled us to develop a wealth of knowledge and experience that can help building end users, contractors, architects, and facilities and estates managers procure new buildings more effectively.”
“The topics are a response to some of the key issues facing our customers and the advice we are sharing is based on the expertise we have brought together from across the Portakabin business, both in the UK and internationally, and in a diverse range of sectors. The programme has been very well received and we have already carried out around 70 seminars since the launch.”
All attendees at either seminar receive a certificate as proof of attendance, helping to maintain their professional accreditation.
Portakabin offers a wide range of buildings for both interim and permanent applications and has the widest network of Hire Centres in the UK. It can deliver bespoke projects and standardised accommodation solutions in the most challenging timescales, with less disruption and less impact on the environment.
