We say it over and over, but it’s because we mean it - prefabricated container builds do not have to be boring. There’s a whole range of ways that containers can be used for particular purposes, niche and even not so niche. In this post we take a look at some of the amazing and unusual uses of the container.

Technological innovation, social change and upward mobility: our world is changing faster than ever. Sadly much of this acceleration has been based on the ‘take, make & waste’ model: building fast at the cost of our environment, however a movement is in the making to end this resource wastage, shifting to a more regenerative economic model. When a responsible, renewable model becomes the norm, where will this leave the property and construction industry?

In our line of work a query that seems to come up a lot is: “can a modular building be remodelled?” If so, how does the process differ to reconstruction on a ‘normal’ building?

In this blog we take a look at some ambitious design feats, both traditional and modern, that really demonstrate how far Pre-Fabs have come since their large-scale implementation in the 1940s.
